TAPPI's partnership with IDCON delivers effective training in reliability and maintenance best practices.

 

The upcoming fall courses focus on management techniques, skills for planning ahead, and reduction of downtime, while controlling costs and optimizing efficiencies.

 

Upcoming courses from IDCON:

 

 

Planning and scheduling is the cornerstone for excellence in uptime, preventive maintenance, stores, utilization of craftspeople, cost control, coordination of maintenance schedules with production schedules, and much more. 

With the knowledge from this training, you will be able to improve your crafts people’s effectiveness, reduce equipment downtime, and reduce maintenance cost over time.

 

 

IDCON's "S-TOP" course teaches you how to stay on budget and minimize downtime by using a six-step process. By reviewing the why and how behind shutdown/turnaround stages, you can learn how to do the right actions, use the correct tools, and optimize your resources.

 

This two-day course teaches a structured approach to problem elimination. Unlike the commonly used Root Cause Analysis, IDCON’s training focuses on the steps required to eliminate the failure/problem rather than just analyzing it. IDCON analysis shows that up to 90% of all equipment problems can be eliminated by training and implementing basic problem-solving methods for the front-line. Learn how!

 

 

Improving how you manage the spare parts and materials in your organization reduces maintenance costs, time, and parts inventory. This course delivers strategies to assist you in developing effective work processes, repair and return practices, "stock" or "not to stock" decision making, the impact on reliability, key performance indicators, and how to manage obsolete stock.
