4S5: Selling reliability to senior management

Jason Tranter, Founder & CEO, Mobius Insitute

Description

Reliability improvement programs can deliver tremendous benefits to all industry, but unless you have the complete support of senior management the program will not be successful. In fact, if you don’t have support, the program may never get started, and existing programs may suddenly be shut down. But how do you gain, and maintain, that support? Can you just provide examples of what other companies and industries have achieved? Can you explain “industry best practice” and what “world class” maintenance looks like? Can you explain the “common sense” benefits of reliability improvement? No, that will not work. In this presentation, Jason will explain:

 
1. Very briefly, what the benefits are
2. Why you need their support
3. How to put a value on reliability based on the organization’s unique business situation
4. How to quantify the value and present it as a business case
5. How to prove the case with pilot projects
6. And how to maintain the support on an on-going basis
