Reliability Leadership for Manufacturing Excellence Course 17

Ron will review models for achieving reliability and manufacturing excellence that are patterned after some of the world’s best companies. The very best plants are able to accomplish this through the application of a reliability strategy, which supports lean manufacturing, supply chain principles, and excellence in operations and maintenance, and assures them of being the low cost producer. This strategy ensures optimal production capability at a minimum sustainable cost. Costs are avoided by eliminating the “defects” which cause the costs being incurred in the first place, optimizing the work that adds value.
