Being a mill manager or superintendent shouldn’t always be about putting out fires — but it can certainly feel that way. In a perfect world, you’d be able to anticipate every worst-case scenario, but life rarely works out that way. When it comes to mill maintenance, this has never been truer. Equipment breakdowns can happen at any time and when they do, they can shut down a mill for days.
What if you could actually better plan for equipment failures? Though every leader needs to be adept at responding to crises and issues as they arise, they also need to be able to anticipate needs and challenges so they and their team are prepared to overcome them. TAPPICon 2023 offers the perfect session to help mill managers, superintendents and supervisors be proactive when it comes to mill maintenance. NEW this year, the session is called the Mill Maintenance Education Exchange.
Mill Maintenance Education Exchange
The Mill Maintenance Education Exchange, Wednesday, April 26 from 9:00am – 12:00pm, features six industry leaders presenting key methods and technologies to help mills anticipate maintenance issues and establish a preventative maintenance schedule. These maintenance “tips and tricks” are aimed at helping prevent costly shutdowns and help improve asset capacity and effectiveness. Participants will also receive CEUs for attending this session.
Presentations include:
