Reliability Improvement Prioritization

Reliability in Design

Reliability in Operations

When systems have been in operation for a period of time data is generated. A plan and a set of tools are required for us to convert the data in actionable information. This actionable information can then be sorted by a prioritization method in order to identify the most important improvement opportunities.

Reliability Improvement Prioritization includes the processes and tools to identify and quantify the improvement opportunities. Pareto Analysis, Life-Cycle Cost Benefit Analysis, Minimum Acceptable Rate of Return Analysis, etc. It is a bridge to financial management and interdepartmental support.

When we know the target opportunities we need to have a set of tools for attacking and improving the opportunities for improvement. Reliability in Design (RID) provides us with those tools.

Reliability in Design includes the processes and tools we use for solving chronic or sporadic problems in our operations and maintenance activities.  Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), PM Optimization, Root Cause Analysis (RCA), LEAN, Six Sigma, Theory of Constraints, Weibull Analysis, Spares Optimization, and other tools help us to achieve these goals.

Standard processes and procedures, performance standards and measures allow an organization to communicate what must be done, how to do it, and the expected results when done properly.  Reliability in Operations (RIO) is the path to consistent implementation and sustainable standards.

Reliability in Operations includes the processes and tools to consistently implement and sustain standards. Some of the tools include flow charts, RASI tables, process guides, and predictive maintenance standard data collection and analysis techniques.  Lubrication excellence and Operator Performed Maintenance standards are also included in this section..
