Overcoming Roadblocks to Achieve Reliability Performance
Abstract
Carl and Fred discuss the most common roadblocks to achieving high reliability in any company, and what the reliability practitioner can do to overcome each of the potential roadblocks.
Key Points
The first step in overcoming roadblocks to achieving high reliability is to recognize what they are.
The two most common roadblocks are a lack of management support and lack of focus on prevention. If management does not provide the needed support, it is useful to identify why the support is not forthcoming. It could be misunderstanding the subject of reliability or not seeing the value.
Once roadblocks are identified it is possible to develop strategies to overcome the roadblocks.
