Webinar Description

Some people think of reliability as a maintenance-centric activity, maybe with a dash of operations input. But true reliability is an organization-wide activity. Organizational Reliability applies to every function in an organization. It identifies internal strengths and weaknesses, and external opportunities and threats (SWOTs) SWOTs are then assessed, responses are defined, authorized and implemented. The Organizational Reliability Model is used as a standardized method to create new requirements, or to modify existing requirements.

Learning Takeaways

1. Reliability is not just a maintenance or operations activity.
2. SWOTs can impact one or several functions within an organization. A standardized model or methodology for dealing with SWOTs increases awareness and results in better alignment of guidance and assets.
3. Value is optimized when SWOTs are prioritized, the proper tools are used to define the solution and when guidance and assets are aligned to enable reliability.
