The Road to Reliability™ Framework
Most reliability programs overcomplicate things. Ours doesn't. The four-part framework focuses on the basics, do them well and in the right order, and maintenance shifts from a cost centre into a value driver.
Courses
Get more work done with the same team. Productivity up to 35%.
PS100The PS100 course gives you an understanding of how planning & scheduling should work in an industrial environment, how it adds value, and how to actually implement it in your organisation. Plus our proven implementation framework, tools and templates to make your improvements last.
PS200Best valueThe PS200 course gives you the same understanding of how planning & scheduling should work and how it adds value as our PS100 course, but without the implementation module. It doesn't include the implementation framework, tools and templates.
PS300The PS300 course is a condensed version of PS100 for maintenance managers. It covers the key planning & scheduling concepts a manager needs to lead an implementation and drive continuous improvement, without doing the planning themselves.
PS400The PS400 course is a condensed version of PS200 for frontline technicians and operators. It strips out the management-framework complexity and focuses on what you need to know to support the process, work safer, and play your part in it.
Stop wasting time on PMs that don't prevent failures.
PM100The PM100 course gives you the knowledge and techniques to build an effective, efficient PM program, and eliminate up to 60% of PM tasks that add little or no value. It works whether you're in manufacturing, mining or oil & gas. Less workload, lower cost, higher reliability.
Fix the recurring failures that drain your team.
DE100The DE100 course gives maintenance and reliability teams a practical, repeatable defect elimination process and the root cause analysis techniques to support it. It is the same approach high-performing plants use to cut repeat failures and free up capacity for proactive work.
The culture that makes the rest stick.
LC100The LC100 course teaches the leadership behaviours, team rituals and management routines that make the rest of the Road to Reliability framework stick. Without them, planning, preventive maintenance and defect elimination decay back into reactive habits within months.
Focused courses for specific maintenance workstreams.
SD400The SD400 course gives you a practical overview of the entire shutdown lifecycle and the key elements of a best-in-class shutdown process. It covers the common pitfalls, the best practices and the mindset needed to deliver shutdowns that are safer, on time and on budget.
