Reliability Best Practice for Manufacturing Leaders

This workshop provides a guide to the practical steps to deliver high levels of reliability and redirect scarce skilled resources towards more value adding activities.

Deliverables

• Learn what it takes to drive up reliability
• Understand why the unintended consequences of traditional maintenance accountabilities can lead to a relentless cycle of unplanned outages and low morale.
• Know how to create a leadership agenda that engages front line teams with delivering stable operation.
• Be able to guide production and maintenance functions towards higher levels of reliability and added value.

This course material includes a self assessment diagnostic questionnaire and analysis report to help delegates to:

• Identify current areas of strengths and weaknesses
• Highlight priorities for attention
• Set out next steps for senior managers, functional heads and front line teams to progress towards higher levels of reliability.

This workshop provides a guide to the practical steps to deliver high levels of reliability and redirect scarce skilled resources towards more value adding and more interesting engineering activities.

The gains are significant. They include increased capacity, lower costs and improved flexibility through stepwise actions to:

• Achieve and lock in basic conditions
• Engage front line teams with refining work routines to make them easy to do right, difficult to do wrong and simple to learn
• Target the causes of unplanned interventions and accelerated wear so that it doesn’t fail when the pressure is on.
