Conference Theme: Innovative Maintenance Concepts That Improve Weapon System Availability And Reduce Total Ownership Cost

Download Agenda

This Ground-breaking Conference will help you:
  • Examine Innovative Maintenance & Sustainment Support Planning Trends
  • Define and Apply The Benefits Of A CBM Strategy For Sustainment
  • Transition Engineering Information Into Logistics
  • Explore and Master Tactics For Acquiring Reliable Components That Drive Down Costs
  • Conduct An RCM Analysis As A Key Element Of Your CBM Strategy
  • Move From Diagnostics Towards Maintenance Based On A Predictive Model
  • Optimize Military Readiness Through Sense & Respond Logistics
  • Decide if PBL vs. CBM Or PBL with CBM is right for you!

Workshops

Learn about the study that Penn State University’s Applied Research Lab conducted and how they identified the primary barriers and challenges facing CBM+ (Condition Based Maintenance Plus) implementation. Find out how your organization can knock them down!

Experts

Learn about the challenges you will face and how to overcome them directly from the policy makers and implementers that have executed winning strategies.

Programs

Get up to speed with the highest visibility programs in the DoD and industry: NASA’s International Space Station, V-22, Virginia Class Submarines, Army Aviation and the brand new KC-46 Tanker.

Find out how NASA builds sustainment into equipment that can never come home for repairs and how the Navy implements reliability centered maintenance on a vessel where surfacing is not an option.
