Writing and executing effective reliability plans is a skill that is not often taught in reliability courses or seminars. It falls under the body of knowledge of reliability management, which is a different set of skills than reliability engineering. What is a Reliability Plan, and how should it be developed? What do well-written reliability tasks look like? How detailed should tasks be described, and how can they be written to support easy execution? How do you ensure that your Reliability Plan is successfully implemented to the desired results?

Many practitioners list the tools that must be performed and call it a Reliability Plan. A list of tools is not a reliability plan. Selecting the right reliability tools is input to writing an effective reliability plan. Other inputs include understanding organizational capabilities, agreement on proper reliability objectives, and knowledge of how to write executable tasks. Reliability tasks should be broken down into executable steps that result in the given objective when accomplished. Tasks should be carefully considered to implement the selected tools based on organizational capability. The reliability plan should cover tasks that implement tools and address organizational shortfalls that need to be resolved. Another important aspect is interaction with management. Management has a direct role in supporting the development and implementation of a reliability plan.

Attendees of this webinar will learn answers to the questions outlined above and the steps to writing and executing the tasks that make up an effective reliability plan.
