NEW Uptime Magazine Article Covers How to Make Reliability a Competitive Advantage “In an industry where hundredths of a second can mean the difference between winning and losing, race teams are looking for any advantage they can get. They use every tool at their disposal to design, tune and maintain Formula 1 (F1) cars in the pursuit of excellence. For these teams, remote monitoring is an important means for achieving gains in performance and reliability.” There is a surprising set of similarities between Formula 1 Racing and the Process Industry when it comes to the best approach to optimize asset performance and apply reliability strategies; remote monitoring and the use of technology become an essential practice to control their processes and avoid unexpected issues. Find out what we can learn from this competitive sport in this insightful article by Mike Boudreaux, published on Uptime Magazine. |

The latest recommendation from our training programs – Emerson Educational Services The Reliability Game - REL001 It is hard for anyone to accept a new and unfamiliar approach to an activity they have already mastered. Getting many people to change at once is an even greater challenge. The Reliability Game® lets people experience the transition to a new, proactive environment. Players learn to “follow the money” to proactive behavior and cooperation through a fun and innovative simulation exercise. Want to know more? Take a VIP seat to the Premiere of our Reliability Game video! For more information contact Joe Carolan or find this course in the Educational Services website. |

Change Management Tip - WIFM It’s common practice to build a solid business case to justify any major change in an organization. Undertaking a maintenance and reliability improvement initiative is no different. But in order to accelerate and sustain complex change when resistance among stakeholder groups is an issue, the case for change must extend far beyond pure financial justification. In short, stakeholders must understand “What’s In it For Me” (WIFM). While management can always tell stakeholders what’s in it for them, it is better yet to ask stakeholders to consider the upside of changing and the downside of not changing - from their personal perspectives. You will find that many will arrive at WIFM on their own by doing this, often overcoming negatives associated with the change. Then take WIFM in combination with the financial business case and a mandate from leadership, and now you’ve got a much more powerful case for change. |
