BURLINGTON, ON, August 14, 2002 -- Ivara Corp. is offering regular free, live, on-line seminars for senior management in manufacturing settings, especially those managers with responsibility for the competitiveness of their businesses and those involved in managing operations and maintenance.
Each hour-long seminar, entitled "Maximizing Asset Reliability," includes a Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation and a live demonstration of Ivara.EXP software.
These visual, on-line components are coordinated with a live voice presentation delivered simultaneously by telephone to attendees' offices and conference rooms.
Among other things, those who attend the seminar will learn:
• About the reliability gains achieved by a $3-billion-a-year North American manufacturer.
• How changing demands on maintenance, a better understanding of equipment behavior and the availability of new technologies and practices have changed the maintenance profession.
• How companies seeking more effective maintenance have shifted their maintenance focus from asset-repair to asset reliability, and how that change is supporting their strategic corporate goals.
• How new enabling technology facilitates the organized capture of data from various sources (processes, condition monitoring, operator inspections, etc.) and transforms that data into actionable knowledge about the health of critical assets.
• How companies that have already selected and implemented computerized maintenance management systems can continue to leverage those investments to improve asset reliability.
• How to answer the question, "What maintenance work should we be doing and when?"
"Manufacturing managers, especially those involved in managing operations, engineering and maintenance will benefit from this seminar," says Bill Shaw, Ivara's president and CEO.
"We are pleased to be able to support them with strategies for maximizing the reliability of their companies' production assets. Asset reliability is recognized as one of the keys to world-class manufacturing in the 21st century."
