It is all too common that companies fortunate enough to have Reliability Engineers haven’t engaged them properly. It has become acceptable practice to misuse skills and talent and even labels. Instead, we create high priced part-finders, over-qualified maintenance supervisors, and number crunchers churning out metrics no one really cares about. It is time we start putting reliability back into Reliability Engineer. A Certified Professional Reliability Engineer understands the math involved and can compel organizations to follow a path forward.

In this masterclass, you’ll gain ammunition needed to make a compelling case to finally let Reliability Engineers do some reliability engineering.

• The appreciation for inherent reliability.
• The mathematical relationship between Reliability, Availability, & Maintainability.
• A reliability culture that is hell-bent on making data driven decisions.
• Constructing an effect Asset Reference Plan.
• Compel others to see the vision.
• The confidence to make a fiscal argument for greater reliability efforts.
