Over the next several weeks, we’ll be going through a series of “10 Things” that people in various functions can do to improve reliability. While these will mostly be actions that maintenance personnel can take, we’ll touch on operations in a couple. We’ll begin with actions a reliability engineer can take.
Many people in plants feel powerless to take action, lamenting poor design, management support, lack of tools and training, etc. As someone said, it’s easier to get forgiveness than permission. So, with that in mind, we’ll discuss things that anyone can do, given they’ve had some experience in working in their plants.
