I want to tell you that I have gone through many webinars on Accendo Reliability and found them very useful. I am new to Reliability Engineering and very keen to learn it and apply it in my organization. — Ankur Sharma
We record each event and post the video along with the slides or workbook, plus we use the audio for a podcast.
Scheduled for March 11, 2025, at 9 am US Pacific time.
Speaker: Fred Schenkelberg
Following along the idea stated by Lord Kelvin, “…when you can measure what your are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it…”, we have organizations measuring reliability performance. Not that measuring something is managing it, those are two different activies. Yet, using various metrics that we track on a regular basis does provide some useful information if done well.
Let’s explore a few ways that I’ve seen reliability metric monitoring. Let’s also examine a simple process to establish, maintain, and end metrics. Measuring something has an expense, so it much also provide value. If the value is not there, or it’s not useful for making decisions, then either improve the metric system or end the metric.

Reliability engineers are often taught about ‘cut sets.’ But we rarely use them. Many reliability engineers don’t know what they are. But they are also in lots of textbooks as if they are really important. So what are they? The good news is that they are pretty simple to understand. The bad news is that they can be difficult to find. Mercifully, they are mainly used by computers who do the hard work of calculating system reliability for us. So knowing what ‘cut sets’ are can be really informative … even if you don’t use them every day.

Wanted to let everyone new to these live events to know that the presentation is scheduled for an hour but afterwards there is always very good discussion. So if you can set aside an extra 15 to 30 minutes afterwards to listen in and contribute. I noticed today that Fred turned off the recording at the one hour mark so the discussion is only available in the live event and not in the recorded version.
Hi Bert, thanks for the comment. I did shut down the recording as I was pretty quiet on the question front. Then Chris did get a few more questions prompting more discussion. Guess it is good reason to make the live event – and a lesson for me to keep recording… cheers, Fred
