| History | |
| In 1975, Salt River Project was
in the process of developing procedures, work measurement systems,
and computer programs to implement a master maintenance plan
for T&D work. Salt River Project employees were sent
to other utilities to find effective maintenance programs.
It became apparent that other utilities were asking the same
questions and were struggling with similar programs. With
this common concern in mind, Trent O. Meacham, Assistant General
Manager, Power Construction & Maintenance, Salt River Project,
sent out a survey to numerous utilities to determine who might
be interested in developing a seminar devoted to discussions
on programs for the management of maintenance. The response was immediate and positive! Accordingly, the first seminar was developed and held in Scottsdale, Arizona on October 20-21, 1976 with twenty-five utilities represented and the attendance was approximately 75. At the completion of the seminar, although not solicited, the participants unanimously agreed that this type of seminar should continue. The second seminar was planned and again held in Scottsdale, Arizona on October 19-20, 1977, with forty-five utilities represented and attendance was approximately 110. Trent Meacham was the General Chairman for the first two seminars |
