Root Cause Analysis Blog

If your improvement ideas include improving equipment reliability and maintenance at your facility, then you should plan to be in Las Vegas on June 25-27 at the TapRooT® Summit.

Why?

Because the Summit has a track focussed on that topic and the track includes “Bloch Day.”

What is Bloch Day?

Heinz Bloch is a worldwide recognized equipment reliability expert with over 20 books on equipment reliability and maintenance topics. For example:

Heinz is even listed in Wikipedia:
