Failure Elimination Made Simple

by Ricky Smith, CPMM, CMRP and Bill Keeter, CMRP

How good is your organization at identifying failures?  Of course you see failures when they occur, but can you identify when recurring failures are creating serious equipment reliability issues?  Most companies begin applying RCA or RCFA to “high value failures”.  While this is not wrong, I prefer to either not see the failure in the first place, or at the least, to reduce the failures to a controllable level.

Changing Your Organization for the Better Part 4: The Roadmap of Change

In Part 1 we discussed the concept of organizational change, the three linked elements necessary for success and details about dissatisfaction. In Part 2 we addressed ourselves to organizational vision. In Part 3 we discussed the Goal Achievement Model in detail and clearly showed how it links the vision, goals, initiatives and activities in a very focused manner. However there still is one other part to the puzzle. This is what is referred to as the Roadmap of Change. The Roadmap is the tool to align change efforts within the organization, to eliminate conflicting goals, and to keep the change process on track. It is the final part of a process that begins with establishing the vision, developing higher level details with the Goal Achievement Model, and maintaining focus and clarity with the Roadmap. A successful change effort can not succeed without all three of these pieces being properly put into place and correctly used.
