Best Practices in Equipment Reliability Improvement & Troubleshooting
Learn Best Practices in Equipment Reliability Improvement & Troubleshooting at the 2014 Global TapRooT® Summit! Join us in Horseshoe Bay, Texas (near Austin) April 9 – 11, 2014 and learn about the business end of equipment reliability and the foundations of Equifactor® from global expert, Heinz Bloch.
The Business End of Equipment Reliability
Reliability engineering efforts often suffer from a fragmented approach. Some companies and facilities repeat consultant-conceived generalities and wonder why they get bogged down in squabbles over definitions and benchmarking numbers. In fact, some could even dispense with the reliability engineering function without seeing a blip in their company’s profitability (or lack thereof).
However, other corporations and business entities are far more structured and productive. Their reliability engineering endeavors are well defined and they have budgets and accountability. For them, reliability engineering is never an afterthought. This presentation shows where the two differ. It is short on vague generalities and long on value-adding specifics.
The Foundations of Equifactor
The presenter has authored or co-authored 18 textbooks on reliability improvement topics. His text “Machinery Failure Analysis and Troubleshooting” is now in its 4th Edition. This book contains time-tested methods of identifying root causes of failures which were subsequently melded into the “Equifactor-approach.” Equifactor is a straightforward and repeatable method which, for many decades, has kept a select few user companies at the top of Best Practices or Best-of-Class performers. The presenter shares several case histories to illustrate how he successfully used its core approach 30 years ago and still practices it today.
