The Lean/TPM relationship is epitomized by the race car/race team relationship, so what bet-
ter location for Productivity to host this year’s event than Mooresville “Race City USA”, North
Carolina, approximately 30 minutes north of Charlotte and home to some of the biggest
names in NASCAR.
This conference will feature hands-on activities at local race shops allowing you to utilize the
techniques you learn in the classroom out on a working race shop floor.
The event includes:
• 35 sessions • 15 general & knowledge transfer sessions • 2 networking events
• 10 hands-on sessions • 9 case study presentations
Not a race fan?
More than simply a car on a race track; racing is a business just like any other business with issues, barriers
and the need to continuously improve. Trying to find profits and business sustainment, race-teams are looking
to employ improvement techniques such as TPM to improve their processes. They are on a constant quest to
combine the latest technology with meticulous human effort and team work to become better than the compe-
tition. There are many parallels between motorsports and manufacturing. So you’re not a fan of racing...that’s
ok, because even if you are only a fan of improvement, this event provides an opportunity to see how Total
Productive Maintenance and Lean techniques are universally applied to all business settings, including the
business of motorsports.

3. Equipment Breakdowns are:
Wasting your Time Costing you Money And Threatening your
Competitiveness…
Yet in many organizations, both major and minor equipment breakdowns are considered a normal part of daily operations.
They shouldn’t be…
Ladies and Gentlemen…Start Your Engines
If you are ready to get your equipment reliability issues in check, then join us for The TPM Experience—a four-day, hands-
on event where you will learn and experiment with equipment reliability techniques that will allow you to transition from
reactive to a proactive maintenance environment.
Organized into three tracks, Plan, Do and Lead, the event
features four-hour in-depth knowledge transfer sessions, hands-on
implementation sessions, and one-hour case study presentations.
Plan These sessions focus on the preparatory phase of the TPM process—what needs to be done to create a solid
foundation for TPM implementation and sustainment.
Do These sessions focus on the techniques and methodologies you need to transition your organization from a
reactive to proactive maintenance excellence environment.
These sessions focus on the cultural and leadership characteristics necessary to keep your effort on track and
Lead ensure all of your improvement efforts are in support of the organization’s overall goals.
Choose from over 35 sessions and build a
curriculum that best suits your individual needs.
Chances are you already know you must do something to improve the reliability of your equipment, but you may not know
exactly what to do or how to get started. This event will provide you with the answers and direction you need.

This session will analyze the positive effects that external TPM certification
can have, as seen by Wrigley Manufacturing in Gainesville Georgia. During
this session they will introduce the JIPM TPM awards and the process for
applying for these awards. In addition to this they will discuss some of the
specifics about the assessment criteria, their interpretation of these criteria
and their implementation approach to achieving these criteria for Level 1
Excellence. They will cover some of the benefits of the assessment for the
company as well as the people on the shop floor. Finally, they will do some
internal comparison of plants within the Wrigley supply chain looking at those
going for the award and those not.
H3 Your Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) Program
Mark W. Maxwell, Director of Operations,
L.B. Foster Company
This session will provide an opportunity to discover tools and techniques that
establish production efficiencies between company management and their
workforce. Mark will focus on the development of training events that produce
cross-functional teams from multiple locations. He will demonstrate how to
design and execute TPM initiatives that promote employee safety, operational
efficiency and profitability throughout an organization.
Knowledge Transfer Sessions 1:15pm-3:00pm
K1 Team-Based Problem Solving (CEDAC)
From symptoms to root causes, this module teaches an effective problem
solving system that allows the user to create a logic chain. Learn a reliable
method for identifying a problem’s root cause and for generating effective
solutions. This powerful kaizen tool called CEDAC (winner of the Deming Prize),
will allow your teams to unlock their knowledge and creativity while learning
how to integrate problem solving with improvement tools to focus on “priority”
problems and opportunities.
K2 Team Dynamics and Conflict Resolution
Leading a team of people who are trying to improve their operation is an
exciting challenge. The team leader or manager needs to help the group
move steadily ahead through the process of identifying, analyzing, and de-
veloping solutions to problems. Along the way, there are bound to be points
of resistance which could lead to conflict among team members. In order to
guide the group past the conflict, a leader needs to have an understanding
of the problem-solving process and the capacity to apply the process. In
this workshop participants will look at their approach to managing conflict,
discover the eight key elements of an effective conflict utilization process,
and take a conflict management survey to help them understand more about
themselves and how they behave in conflict situations.

What makes this event different?
Have you ever attended a conference and received a lot of excellent information but had a difficult time translating that information
into action back at your facility? If so, then this event is for you.
Built into this event are 10 hands-on application sessions that will allow you to immediately experiment with the techniques you’ve just
learned in the classroom out on a working shop-floor, under the guidance of an experienced instructor. Working in teams with other
participants in a NASCAR team race shop, you will apply the principles of 5s, Mistake-Proofing, Standardized Work, and others.
• Experience real-time PDCA moving from classroom simulation • Work along side other participants sharing in the knowledge
to shop floor execution transfer opportunities
• Learn then Do translating demonstration into practical • Use ‘similarity mapping’ in translating case study presentations
application into meaningful, usable learning
• Gain a usable understanding of the techniques presented; not • Leverage the boutique atmosphere allowing for a greater focus
just information about them on the value add, not the fluff
