Reliability vs. Reality in the Industries – Do you really get what you have paid for?

Syed Munawer Hasan, Founder & CEO, Plant Asset Efficiency (PAE) Solutions & Management Reliability Technology (MRT) Academy

Description

At the end of a reliability program, you don’t necessarily get what you signed up for in the beginning. Though there is no “Gold Standard” for a Global Reliability Program, the complexity of programs is used to a person or departments’ advantage. With changing dynamics that determine productivity and profitability, programs are devised to showcase organizational images that are higher than necessary, and undeniably in favor of the individual or department. And, once a budget has been approved, stakeholders are sealed in. Though it may seem to favor the management and be consumed for the organization’s improvement, fortunately or unfortunately, alterations within the industry and within the organization happen all year long, and a program will either fail or remain the same.

A lot of reports suggest, 70% of Reliability programs fail to generate the projected cost savings or asset productivity results forecasted. Why? Whilst, additional research suggests that only 5% of organizations implement RCM programs with the right systems in place.

Does this imply RCM strategy is overrated? Certainly Not.

Reliability initiatives only bomb when no KPIs are put in place to measure whether the proposed results were met. Using a plan-do-check-act (PDCA) methodology increases the chance of success. And the “check” in PDCA is a KPI.

After going through a reliability program, will the result, in the end be 100%?
