MPACT: An Investment In Your Operation's Future
"MPACT remains the finest offering of maintenance skills training to which I have ever been exposed. The quality of materials, classroom instruction, simulator application, and testing of practical application is outstanding."

Special/Infrequently Offered Classes

Compressed Air System Management: Many of the problems that plague industrial compressed air systems are easily corrected with simple and inexpensive solutions. The purpose of this course is to lay the foundations for identifying, quantifying, and correcting many of these problems.

Our Instructor: Brent Ehrlich. Brent entered the compressed air field as the System Specialist for a distributor in North Carolina and Virginia. While there, he pioneered advancements in areas ranging from data acquisition techniques to products used to manage condensate flow to unconventional system redesigns. He has performed numerous audits that have resulted in considerable (up to 75%) savings for his clients both in power and maintenance costs. Innovative software he developed for analyzing the data from an audit, coined Flow-Based Analysis, makes it possible for him to computer model future performance by putting together actual recorded system behavior with variables for proposed equipment. He is a graduate of CEESI’s Advanced Flow Measurement Course on compressible gasses, where he learned what few of his competitors have: the correct placement and type of meter needed for a given job. He is a Qualified Instructor with the Compressed Air Challenge training program. Brent currently owns and operates Air Services as an independent consultant to industrial compressed air users and all of his solutions reflect a “global” view – supply side to end users on the production floor. August 5, $300.

Value Added Maintenance: When the typical corporate mantra today is, “do more with less” [until you do everything with nothing], this course is designed to help you understand your corporate culture and defend your headcount and budget. August 14 and October 2, $300.

Systematic Troubleshooting: None of us want "parts replacers" - we want skilled troubleshooters who zero in on the problem with a rifle, not a shotgun. This course teaches a logical approach that enables troubleshooters to solve problems in far less time - the first time. A recent attendee, a technician from a paper company, said, "I didn't think troubleshooting could be taught - you either had it or you didn't. I was wrong." September 29 - October 1, $775.
