Uptime PdM Program of the Year Entry Form


	Uptime PdM Program of the Year Application Do you have an extraordinary Predictive Maintenance program? Uptime® Magazine is a bi-monthly magazine devoted to Reliability, Predictive Maintenance and Machine Condition Monitoring. Part of our mission is to promote and acknowledge best practices. We have created the Uptime PdM Awards to provide positive exposure and acknowledgement for predictive maintenance professionals from around the world. What categories are available? * Best Vibration Analysis Program Award * Best Ultrasound Inspection Program Award * Best Infrared Thermal Imaging Program Award * Best Motor Testing Program Award * Best Lubrication/Oil Analysis Program Award * Best Precision Maintenance (alignment/Balancing) Program Award * Best Overall PdM Program Award * Best Emerging Program * Best Green Program Who can enter? Any company with an active PdM program can enter. We expect that you have been performing some sort of PdM for at least one year. If you are just getting started – you should consider entering at this time next year! How much does it cost to enter? Nothing. The fee is $0. Unlike other maintenance awards that charge thousands of dollars, this is not a commercial activity – it fulfills our mission to promote excellence in predictive maintenance. International entries are encouraged. What do the winners get? Each winning company will get a handsome award trophy, two Denim PdM Award Winner shirts, a handsome Poster Board featuring your program to display at work, two free passes to PdM-2010 Predictive Maintenance Technology Conference to make a 45 minute presentation about your program, acknowledgement in front of peers at the award presentation and an exclusive invitation to a special winners award lunch and ceremony. Who will judge the entries? The editorial advisory board of Uptime Magazine is comprised of experts in each specific technology area of predictive maintenance and condition monitoring. Each entry will be judged by the editorial advisory board in conjunction with the editor and publisher of Uptime Magazine. What are companies that enter obligated to do? Entrants are requested to report requested information as accurately as possible. Entrants should also be available for follow up questions via telephone and email. Winners agree to make a 45 minute presentation at PdM-2010 and to attend the Uptime PdM Award ceremony (PdM-2010 Conference passes are included in the award – travel and lodging expenses are not.) Winners are invited to PdM-2010 as speakers to make a full presentation on your program if you choose to accept. Speakers get free conference passes. Where will the awards be presented? The Uptime PdM Awards will be presented at a ceremony prior to PdM-2010 which is part of Solutions 2.0. The Awards will be presented at a special Lunch and Presentation ceremony on Monday November 9, 2010 in Bonita Springs Florida. Solutions 2.0 runs November 9-11, 2010. Each winning company will receive two (2) passes at no cost to attend the conference and awards presentation. Travel and lodging expenses are not included and are the responsibility of the winners or the winners companies. Most meals are included with the conference pass. Where will information about the award be published? Uptime Magazine is part of the Reliabilityweb.com network and will be the lead publisher. What information about my company and my program will be published? We would like to share as much information about winning programs as possible and our editors will work with you to write an acceptable description for the PdM Award issue. A PdM team photo and a facility photo are also desirable. Will I have input and approval on published information? Yes, we will not publish information without providing an advanced copy to you for review and comment. If your company does not wish to receive publicity – please do not enter this competition. Remember the mission is to promote and acknowledge PdM best practices. Without allowing some sort of publicity – this task becomes almost impossible. Do we have to disclose any company confidential information? No – we are not seeking details that your company considers confidential. We are attempting to get enough information to judge the quality and effectiveness of your PdM program.
