How to Eat the Reliability Elephant…Three Ways to Fail (and One Way to Succeed) (Part 2)

Improving reliability can be daunting, especially if your plant is still in reactive maintenance mode. You need to improve everything from the way equipment is designed and purchased through to the way it is operated. Work practices have to be improved. The maintenance strategy has to change. And then you have to deal with the greatest barrier; culture change. So how do you do it? Where do you start? What works (and what doesn't)? Why do so many programs fail. In this webinar we will present a strategy that will work, and describe common alternative approaches that often fail.

This is the second half of a two-part webinar. While it is essential that you develop the reliability culture, most people also face a challenge trying to implement all of the elements, such as RCM, condition monitoring, planning and scheduling, etc. This video addresses how you can overcome those challenges.
