Reliability is an essential business requirement in today’s volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous environment. Safety performance and reliability performance are directly linked. In order to meet customers’ needs on time at competitive prices, an organization’s equipment and assets have to work reliably and effectively.

Reliability is not just the responsibility of the maintenance department; it is the responsibility of everyone in the organization.

Reliability is everyone's responsibility

Uptime Elements Reliability Framework and Asset Management System

Reliability leadership involves creating value delivery and the functional assurance of assets while minimizing the effects of risk and failure. It is an enterprise-wide understanding and approach that enables an organization to consider the potential impact of all types of failures and defects, including process, information and equipment failures.

The Uptime Elements Reliability Leadership System draws from a body of knowledge that is based on the Uptime Elements Body of Knowledge Passport series, various international standards, such as ISO9001, ISO55001 and ISO31000, ISO14224 and detailed assessments conducted at over 500 best practices organizations. as part of the annual Uptime Awards, and a small focused collection of publications written by recognized international experts.

Do You Speak Reliability?

Do You Speak Reliability?

All things that can be mastered begin with the acquisition of a specialized language that contains words, concepts and ideas. Examples would be a doctor in medical training who begins by studying the specialized words, phrases and concepts related to the practice of medicine, or a musician who learns how to read the written musical language. Using the word language in this context means speaking a language in the broader sense of understanding, as well as communicating the grammar, vocabulary and syntax so ideas and creativity can be shared.

The world's best run companies recognize that success is achieved through leadership; however, they also realize that results are only delivered through the engagement and empowerment of everyone in the workforce. Leadership does not come from one person, it comes from everyone. This is especially true for reliability.
