      I have outlined a methodology that links OEE and equipment reliability improvements to bottom line increased income for operations. This methodology is a powerful tool that should assist every engineer, foreman, department head, and manager in selecting the right projects and then communicating the benefits in financial terms.

      A portion of this book provides tools and techniques for examining the inherent reliability of existing or proposed equipment systems and design for reliability methodology. These include reliability block diagrams and computer simulations of modeled systems. The book refers to software that can be freely downloaded from the Internet. The examples demonstrate practical applications that investigate possible improvements. The software program can perform the vast majority of that provided by highly-priced commercial simulation software.

      Another useful tool is Reliability Quantification Testing (RQT). This general tool for existing and new equipment fabrications helps quantify the actual reliability performance. It should become a mandatory tool used for accepting or commissioning equipment systems critical to your manufacturing processes. To build in reliability of proposed designs, reliability specifications and the level of testing before acceptance must become a part of the original purchase order. RQT establishes the test hours and failure frequency parameters, then generates a point estimate of actual Mean Time Between Failures for the tested system.

      In addition to OEE, this book champions the theory of constraints management, quick changeovers, production–production capability balance, conditioned-based maintenance, and a maintenance strategy of short frequent linestops. Any one of these tools or techniques might leverage additional productivity out of the hidden factory at many plants worldwide and could be financially important to your company’s overall business.

      Several aspects of the human side of manufacturing are addressed in this book. Years of observing maintenance people doing extensive shutdown work provided insights about human energy levels and attention to details. These observations form the basis for shutdown planning guidelines. In addition, a system of ranking and compensating workers doing nonrepetitive work is provided as well as recommendations about the hiring process. One of the most important purposes of this book is to help plants avoid the pain of unplanned downsizing that results from not being as productive as they could be. Over the long term, plants can not downsize themselves to success without fundamental changes in current methodologies.

      At the very least, this book is intended to motivate readers to start now on their journey up the mountain toward performance excellence. I would be delighted to receive comments and stories about the active use and application of this book’s concepts in your work area.

      Getting people to accept change and do things differently can be very imposing even if you know it is the right direction to go. Change often requires a leap of faith. Understanding this book will reduce the leap of faith to a single step. Climbing to higher levels on the mountain begins with a single step. Start Now!
