Overview

What this course is about

Active working session designed to establish a logical, measured, and data-driven approach to asset care. Executed early in a reliability journey, Asset Strategy Development enables organizations to move from reactive maintenance to intentional, maximize asset performance, improve safety & quality, and reduce unit cost. Rather than focusing on theory, this workshop produces tangible, site-ready deliverables: asset strategies, failure mode libraries, decision logic, operator care checks, condition monitoring standards, lubrication requirements, CMMS-ready load files,
and a governance cadence to sustain improvement.

Key Topics Covered

1. Introduction to Reliable Manufacturing®
Reliability principles, business impact, and asset strategy overview

2. Asset Strategy Development
Asset hierarchy validation, criticality assessment, and prioritization

3. Component Failures: Identify & Control
Common machinery and lubrication failures and credible failure modes

4. Selecting Optimal Failure Controls
Condition-based, time-based, operator care, and run-to-failure decisions

5. Precision Maintenance® & Condition Monitoring
Precision concepts, bearings and lubrication, vibration and electrical monitoring

6. Unbalance & Common Machinery Errors
Unbalance types, tolerances, retention, & common equipment errors

7. Root Cause Problem Elimination
Eliminating repeat failures & integrating RCFE into strategies

8. Implementation & Governance
Job plans, operator care, CMMS readiness, KPIs, and sustainment

Why This Training Matters

Learning Objectives & Expected Capabilities

Upon successful completion, participants will be capable of:

• Understand the purpose and structure of asset strategies
• Link reliability, safety, quality, and cost through strategy-based asset care
• Apply a consistent, site-wide logic for asset decision-making

• Identify credible, component-level failure modes
• Distinguish between failure mechanisms, symptoms, and consequences
• Select appropriate controls based on asset criticality and risk

• Choose between condition monitoring, time-based maintenance, operator care, redesign, or run-to-failure
• Align precision maintenance and lubrication requirements with failure controls
• Define practical inspection and monitoring standards

• Participants will be able to:
• Translate asset strategies into CMMS-ready job plans and routines
• Enable standard work for planners, operators, and technicians

What Participants Say

In the brewing industry, consistency and uptime are everything. Reliability Solutions helped me transition from a technical expert to a real maintenance leader. The program gave me tools to build a team that takes pride in precision — not just fixing things when they break.

From Tallahassee to Longview to Jacksonville, one thing stayed consistent — the tools and mindset I gained through Reliability Solutions helped me succeed at every step. They helped me bridge the gap between mechanical engineering and operational leadership. They're not just a vendor — they're a partner in performance.
