Zero-cost options for grooming a competent reliability workforce
by Heinz P. Bloch, P.E., Author Practical Machinery Management for Process Plants: Maximizing Machinery Uptime
It has been demonstrated that true "Best-In-Class" companies are highly successful in training competent reliability professionals. This 40-minute segment describes two of the key ingredients of grooming a competent reliability workforce. The first element deals with screening certain technical publications--typically a five minute endeavor--and how this has led to priceless networking contacts on sealing technology. Time permitting, a second element, "shirt-sleeve seminars", will be discussed. Presented by the plant's reliability professionals at the conclusion of periodically scheduled obligatory safety sessions, five-minute shirt-sleeve seminars have successfully upgraded the knowledge base of technical employees in all job functions of modern process and manufacturing plants.
