SUMMARY

Machinery rebuild philosophies are constantly changing. It’s often hard to decide where crucial plant mechanical staff should be focusing their energy. “Should we be repairing this critical machine in our own shop, or sending out to a local service provider?” It’s a difficult question, but an important one. In this discussion, we will explore the advantages and disadvantages of all the options. We know the decision is never cut and dried and many factors contribute to your resulting verdict:

• How critical is this machine to our operation?

• How important is it that our staff understand every nut and bolt in it?

• Do we have the in house knowledge to do the job right?

• Who are the experts, and how do we leverage them to ensure a quality rebuild?

• Do we have the right tools?

• Is there other work in the plant that requires our people’s attention?

• How do we reduce our overall cost of ownership?

We will explore and discuss all of these questions and more in this dynamic breakout session. Attendees are highly encouraged to actively participate in this session.
