Passion For Maintenance Reliability

Passion For Maintenance Reliability
by Terrence O'Hanlon, Publisher and CEO Reliabilityweb.com and Uptime Magazine

I have been thinking a lot about the different people and the different maintenance reliability programs I come into contact with.  What are the differences between a high performance program and one that is not?

Many winning programs have one or more passionate and driven people who are involved with leading the program.  They may or may not be the managers but they are most certainly leaders.  They are empowered people who know what actions to take to move the company forward.  They are passionate about improving company performance, sometimes in spite of the fact that the company may not want to do some of the things they must to improve reliability performance.

These individuals are also passionate about improving themselves – which is why I get to meet them.  Regardless of how experienced or seasoned they are, they are active participants in learning and networking events like the International Maintenance Conference, the Reliability Centered Maintenance Managers’ Forum or the Predictive Maintenance Technology Conference.    We consider ourselves lucky that these leaders join our events each year and that drives us to deliver high quality sessions.

They attend these conferences, not because they are missing knowledge, but because they tend to keep their minds open and fresh for new ideas, approaches and strategies.  Even though they already have high performance reliability programs, they wake up early, they attend keynote sessions, they sit through workshops, they ask questions during presentation sessions and they network with other attendees.

In other words, their passion drives them to improve themselves so they can improve their company.
