The Road to Reliability™ Framework

There are many frameworks for reliability improvement. Most are unnecessarily complicated. The best performing plants in the world are the best, because they focus on the few basics that really matter. We created a simple, yet proven framework to improve reliability focussing on just 4 Essential Elements:

Increase your maintenance workforce by 35% without hiring anyone. Reduce costs, improve safety and increase morale.

How can the Road to Reliability™ help you?

Improving your plant’s reliability is one of the best investments you can make because it will make your plant more reliable, more profitable and safer.

Increase Production & Profit

When you increase your plant’s reliability, you increase uptime and thus production. Increase your production and you increase company profit. Suddenly the world becomes a better place.

Reduce Costs

That increase in profit due to improved reliability is bigger than just the production gain, because Reliable Plants operate at lower costs. Less things break and without the reactive fire fighting there is less waste.

Improve Safety

Experience shows that reliable plants are
safer too. Fewer unexpected events and better planned work leads to a more stable working environment with fewer surprises, fewer incidents and better safety.

Become Less Reactive

With more reliable equipment and a more stable working environment you can focus on proactive activities and really drive continuous improvement.

Reduce Stress

With less call-outs and reduced fire-fighting, stress reduces, moral improves and your workforce is simply more motivated to do a good job.

Great ROI

But the best news? Improving plant reliability requires relatively small investments and offers excellent return on investment (ROI). In short, improving your plant’s reliability is one of the best investments you can make
