Preface
In many organizations, we find people in leadership positions that may not have a technical background in Reliability or Reliable Manufacturing®. Formal education programs currently do little to prepare graduates to make good decisions around reliability in practical world of a modern industrial plant. A wise man once said that you should: “Never ask a question that you don’t have an answer for.” On the surface, that sounds strange, but consider this…if you do not have enough information to formulate any kind of answer, then whatever the response given
to the question, you have to accept it. If you have enough knowledge to have some kind of answer (right or wrong), at least you will have enough knowledge to be able to open a dialogue and therefore make a much more informed decision.
Objectives
The purpose of the Essential Reliable Manufacturing® Skills Boot Camp is to provide an introduction to Reliable Manufacturing®, along with some practical application techniques that can be utilized and applied immediately upon return to the plant. Students will receive an overview of the key elements to Reliable Manufacturing®. The numerous hands-on activities in the class expose students to the practical, hard skills needed to apply Reliable Manufacturing® techniques. These activities create the ability to recognize what “good” looks like from a practical perspective. Finally, students will be equipped to return to the plant and perform some critical observations and challenges around their facilities’ Reliable Manufacturing® performance.
