Barringer Process Reliability Online Course

“Your factory on a page”

BPR is a novel production evaluation methodology developed by Paul Barringer. Reliability Analysis is often complex and requires a lot of data. On the contrary, the BPR method only requires production records and can provide a management team with simple yet rigorous KPIs relating to asset performance. All this is on one sheet of paper, avoiding tedious report reading for busy managers.

This course is geared toward managers and production analysts who need to make rapid yet robust decisions on production improvement and revenue-increasing strategies.

Reliability Engineering fundamentals relating to BPR are clearly explained. And all calculations and visual representations can be done using the SuperSMITH® software.
