NASCAR Racing and World Class Maintenance Robert Williamson at MPACT Learning Center MPACT is pleased to announce that Robert Williamson, of Strategic Work Systems, Inc., will present his course entitled "NASCAR Racing: A Model for Equipment Reliability & Teamwork" on December 2, 2004, 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM. Price $325. Look behind the scene in NASCAR racing to find the secrets of equipment reliability and teamwork. NASCAR’s world-class stock car racing business, the Nextel/Winston Cup series, provides an easy to understand model for world-class manufacturing, equipment maintenance and reliability. Every competitor in this business has access to the same technology. They all have to follow the same rules. What makes the difference between the champions and the winners in their business? How do the teams insure the highest levels of equipment reliability? How does equipment reliability translate into income? These questions and more will be answered in ways that focus the equipment “problem elimination” practices of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) on real, tangible, measurable results both in NASCAR racing and world-class maintenance and reliability. Participants will examine actual case examples and learn how to apply the “six key principles for improving equipment performance and reliability” in their facilities. Applied “visual systems” will be explored as ways to make equipment easier to operate, easier to maintain, and easier to inspect.
