Maintenance and Operational Reliability: 24 Essential Building Blocks

Product Description
The quest for reliability is long overdue! In the case of many operations, realization of sustained reliability is still a work in progress. Very few organizations have completed the journey to world-class reliability. The vast majority still operate within a reactive culture, allowing response to repetitive failures to consume an excessive proportion of already limited maintenance resources, and leaving too few for performance of any proactive activities.
In today’s competitive international environment, enterprise survival is a battle of the fittest. To survive, organizations must achieve “world-class” stature, characterized by wellness, readiness, and application required for a company to successfully compete globally. That’s why

This pillar graphic shows the functions, management techniques, systems, information sources and performance management vital to the maintenance and reliability process, and also serves as an important visual aid for the education of the entire organization.
