You think you need a reliability engineer. What if you could achieve Reliability Excellence?

When your site follows reliability engineering best practices, it becomes more productive, proactive, and profitable

How much does a breakdown cost you? A recent graduate of our Reliability Engineering Certification program estimates every hour of unplanned equipment downtime costs his operation nearly $50,000. 

That’s not on the high end, either – Siemens reports the cost of a lost hour now ranges from an average of $39,000 for factories producing fast moving consumer goods, to more than $2 million an hour in automotive. Among Fortune Global 500 companies, the annual cost of downtime is $129 million per facility.

The toll of unplanned downtime goes beyond financial concerns such as higher operating and maintenance costs and lower productivity. There are also human costs, like:

• Sleepless nights playing out the “what ifs” if you can’t uphold your compliance commitments. 
• Strain on employees who continually find themselves in “firefighting” mode.
• Poor work-life balance for workers who log chronic overtime to make up for production shortfalls.

You may think you need a reliability engineer. What you may need is a reliability transformation. If your team is in firefighting mode, trying to get offline machines back up and running, a single person isn’t going to be enough. That’s where we come in. 

We pioneered the Reliability Excellence® movement, and have been helping companies improve for almost 50 years.
