Capstone Awards
The 2019 Best MMP Capstone Project: Technical Focus was awarded to Mimi Ginger Wilde, System Engineer, Chalk River Powerhouse of Canadian Nuclear Laboratories.
“Mimi’s MMP Capstone was an excellent technical improvement project that not only incorporated all of the appropriate concepts from the program, but also provided Canadian Nuclear Laboratories with a viable solution to improve system health across the Chalk River Powerhouse site and beyond,” said Al Johnson.
The 2019 Best MMP Capstone Project: Business Focus award was given to a team project submitted by Jeff Dumont, Plant Maintenance Supervisor and Michael Stewart, Technical Assistant, City of Calgary Transit.
“This final Capstone project addresses a real opportunity for Calgary Transit by aligning directly to the organization’s objectives for safe, reliable, cost-effective and accessible transportation. The specific project to improve availability of escalators at Calgary Transit LRT Stations and facilities demonstrates the learnings over the entire MMP certification program, and when implemented will have a return on investment well within the next budget cycle,” said Susan Lubell, President, PEMAC’s Board of Directors.
The 2019 Best AMP Capstone Project was presented to Mark Boomer, Planning Supervisor, Fort Nelson and McMahon Gas Plant with Enbridge.
“Mark’s project took a holistic view of asset management, encompassing all of the areas that impact and influence an organization’s asset management program. Focusing on strategic asset management at Spectra Energy, this project is a perfect example of complete alignment across the organization in driving value,” said Cliff Williams, Maintenance Manager at ERCO Worldwide.
