Improving Plant Reliability Awareness: Guidance and Presentations Needed

Question:

One of the critical issues affecting our plant's operations is a lack of awareness regarding reliability. While safety is crucial, it is widely recognized that plants that prioritize reliability are inherently safer. Do any of you have experience with promoting reliability awareness or creating presentations on the topic that could be adapted to suit our specific requirements? Any guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Jim, I wish I could assist your organization, but I am currently working in the UK.

Strategic Asset Planning - A one-day corporate course for board members and senior executives focusing on increasing knowledge and awareness of asset benefits. 2. Technical Overviews - A comprehensive one-day course on advanced reliability and asset management concepts with industry-specific insights. 3. Risk Assessment and Mitigation - One-day training dispelling misconceptions around risk management and highlighting its importance in operations and spending decisions. 4. RCM - Root Cause Analysis is a key aspect of asset management and is essential for organizational success. 5. Leading Practice Maintenance - Detailed insights on optimizing capital and operational expenditure for maximum benefits. Additional courses on Maintenance Scorecard, Planning and Scheduling, Data management, and creating Asset Information Portfolios are available based on client needs. These customized courses aim to enhance overall awareness and interest in reliability practices. Feel free to reach out to me at darylm@strategic-advantages.com for more information.

Two years ago, I created a Powerpoint presentation on Reliability Awareness specifically designed for technicians and mechanics. While it may not meet the standards of a presentation by a professional in reliability, it is still useful. If you are interested, I can send it to you. The file size is approximately 5 MB, but I can divide it into smaller parts for easier sending.

Hello Thomas, I am eager to view your presentation. Could you please provide me with your email address? Thank you.

Why is reliability awareness important, especially in the oil and gas sector? While it may not be a novel concept, the importance of reliability cannot be understated. It is crucial for all plant managers and industry professionals to understand the significance of reliability in ensuring smooth operations and preventing costly downtime. So, why do we still need to emphasize the importance of reliability in today's industrial landscape?

Dear Sir, I concur that the focus on reliability is a common practice in the oil and gas industry. However, this emphasis may sometimes be misplaced. Unlike other sectors, such as capital-intensive industries, there is a lack of understanding of the potential benefits that reliability initiatives can bring. Some organizations may also struggle with promoting a culture of reliability within their teams. It is essential to provide training on reliability awareness to address these issues and introduce new perspectives and best practices. This training can help in correcting outdated paradigms and ensuring the implementation of leading practices within the organization. While reliability awareness training may not be frequently requested, it is often a crucial component of corporate initiatives. Please feel free to contact me at darylm@strategic-advantages.com for further information. Regards, Daryl Mather.

I've had similar experiences at my company, and we found that creating "Reliability Champions" in each department greatly helped increase awareness about reliability. These champions were responsible for ensuring everyone in their teams understood the importance of reliability and how it contributed to the overall safety of our operations. We also initiated monthly presentations focusing on sharing real-life case studies, where lack of reliability had caused safety risks or operational losses. Personalizing each case to our plant's specific requirements seemed to help the message resonate better with the teams. Maybe a similar approach might work for your plant, too.
