Pacific Standard Time

Speaker:

Todd Peterson, MMP
Maintenance Manager 
PWTransit Canada Ltd.
Whistler, BC

Topic:

Todd and his work team(s) in both Fort McMurray and Whistler have been able to produce and sustain significantly higher output from the maintenance shop in a transit business in spite of challenges such as extremely high staff-turnover (Fort McMurray) and operating the only Hydrogen Fuel Cell powered fleet in the world (in Whistler).

In his presentation Todd will introduce PWTransit and will focus on particular tools he has applied to improve maintenance efficiency such as:

- Improving work instructions (capturing learning)
- Improving scheduling by:
       - Improving "Reasonable Estimated Time" and "Job Times"
       - Scheduling to respond to operational demand
- Improving inventory management
- Valuing the maintenance staff

He will also discuss the strategies and conditions that helped generate buy-in from both the leadership and the participants in the improvement process.
