The Problem. Your Guides. The Plan.

Tired of Vendors Who Promise the Moon and Deliver Disappointment?


You know the drill.
Another consultant walks in promising to "eliminate downtime forever" or "revolutionize your maintenance."
Six months and thousands of dollars later, your machines are still breaking down, your team is still stressed, and you're back to square one.

Meanwhile, your plant is bleeding money from:
• Machines that break when you need them most
• Emergency repairs that cost 10x what they should
• Maintenance teams running around putting out fires instead of preventing them
• Equipment that should last 20 years but dies in 5

You've heard every buzzword in the book: "Industry 4.0," "AI-powered predictive maintenance," "digital transformation." But your equipment doesn't care about buzzwords.

It cares about whether someone actually knows how to keep it running.

We've Been Where You Are. We Know What Actually Works.

We're not here to sell you anything. We're here because we've walked in your shoes, and we know the frustration of dealing with vendors who talk a big game but have never actually run a plant.


Meet Your Guides:

George Williams has been fixing broken maintenance programs for 25 years. He's won CMRP of the Year - not because he talks a good game, but because he gets results. When other consultants are still drawing flowcharts, George is already implementing solutions that work.

Dan Anderson is the Vice Chairman of the SMRP Board of Directors because his peers recognized he actually knows what he's talking about. With 30+ years in manufacturing, he's seen every maintenance disaster you can imagine - and more importantly, he's fixed them.

Matthew Knuth doesn't just talk about condition monitoring - he's implemented it in plants globally for 25+ years. As VP of Reliability Solutions at UpTime Solutions, he knows the difference between technology that works and technology that just sounds impressive.

Alex Bolan is tired of watching good plant managers get burned by bad vendors. As President of DigitalThinker and a Board Advisor for the SC Manufacturing Conference, he's made it his mission to connect SC manufacturers with solutions that actually deliver.

Here's How We're Going to Help You


This isn't your typical workshop. We're not going to lecture you for four hours and send you home with a binder you'll never open.
Here's what's actually going to happen:
1. Bring Your Real Problems: Come prepared with the equipment headaches that keep you up at night
2. Get Straight Answers: Talk directly with experts who've solved problems just like yours
3. Leave with a Plan: Walk away knowing exactly what to do next (and what NOT to waste your time on)

What Success Looks Like:


• Your equipment runs when it's supposed to run
• Your maintenance team prevents problems instead of just reacting to them
• You sleep better knowing your plant isn't going to surprise you with a $50,000 emergency repair
• Your boss sees maintenance as an investment, not just a cost center


What Failure Looks Like:


• Another year of the same old problems
• More money wasted on solutions that don't work
• Your best maintenance people getting burned out and quitting
• Falling behind competitors who figured out how to make their equipment reliable

Ready to Stop the Madness?


Space is limited because we want everyone to actually get time with our experts. This isn't a 200-person auditorium where you can't ask questions. We're keeping it small so you can get real help.
