Project: Failure Modes and Effects Analysis for a production system at an aerospace manufacturing firm. 

The production equipment had been installed six years prior to the analysis. Over time the system had numerous modifications (many undocumented alterations) and had not been reliable for any appreciable period of time.  Clients had seen a sample of the product that could be successfully completed using the process and valued the fit and finish of the final product.  This lead the aerospace firm to focus on getting the production equipment to operate reliably.  After the FMEA and project report were read by the newly hired reliability engineer she provided the following feedback:

“After reviewing the FMEA results and report I was able to hit the ground running. We made the recommended changes and the [production system] has now exceeded our goals for availability, production rate and quality. Our customers and the production manager are happier than ever.”

Two years after the maintenance plans were implemented the assets remain highly reliable.

Project: Comprehensive Organizational Reliability Assessment

Provided a two week, two consultant assessment of a mid-sized chemical firm. Assessment was done in alignment with the Organizational Reliability Model. Assessment results detailed leadership, foundation, process and proactive reliability characteristics of the plant. The assessment also provided details needed to justify the implementation project. The plant manager provided the following comments:

“The quality of this assessment and report were more than we expected! Alidade’s methods, professionalism and analysis provided excellent value.”

Project: Leadership Training Workshop Series

A mid-sized paper converting firm was experiencing excessive turnover, high recordable safety incidents and low morale within its workforce. Alidade was hired to provide a series of two day supervisor and manager Leadership Excellence Workshops. In a customer feedback survey conducted six months after the final workshop, the following quote was received:

“New supervisors were expected to know all this stuff but nobody ever taught it to us. It’s like we were all on a basketball team but we didn’t pass the ball or play defense for each other. Every person was looking out for themselves and we didn’t work together.  Things are different now. Thanks.”

Turnover and absenteeism have dropped to below industry averages.  People are happier doing their jobs.

Project: Develop a Reliability Management Program at an Oil Production Company

The company’s corporate office had already instituted a Root Cause Analysis program and they did not want to switch to Alidade’s recommended methods. After reviewing the elements of the clients RCA process it was confirmed that their RCA process had all the requirements for a good program and was integrated into the overall reliability management program.  The maintenance manager provided the following comments:

“I had worked with other consulting firms who seemed more interested in forcing their process (and software) on us, than in doing what was right for us.”

Alidade has well developed models and tools that we provide, however our experience and flexibility allow us to understand the important aspects, accommodate business realities and move projects to completion.
