The road to true reliability-based asset

Reliability Improvement requires more than an investment in technology and three day training sessions for the workforce. We believe that most reliability efforts do not understand and address the significant cultural and behavioral issues that are critical to a successful program. We believe that it is essential that organizations recognize this aspect of reliability improvement. In addition, staff reductions and downsizing have limited the resources that can be assigned to develop and lead reliability improvement within most organizations.These staff reductions have also depleted some of the experienced subject matter experts that traditionally support other employees within the workforce. Fewer resources are available within the organization that can mentor and support employees with reliability program implementation tasks as they are applied in the workplace. Reliability Support Services believes that reliability improvement programs are successful when employees are given mentoring and support in addition to training. This mentoring process allows employees to develop confidence in the new work processes and builds the "critical mass" of organizational acceptance that supports new work processes. Our 30 years of experience in manufacturing and industrial improvement efforts has determined this aspect to be essential for success. Reliability Support Services Business Purpose is to provide organizations a resource that can bring the knowledge and experience required to address these issues, and provide support for the successful implementation of improvement initiatives.
