Bonus Workshop #2
8:00 am to 4:00 pm

 The Reliability Game®
Level: Beginner or Intermediate

Is your organization hesitant to adopt a reliability-based approach to maintenance?

Trying to change organizational culture is often challenging, but it is also very rewarding.

The Reliability Game is designed to teach participants how to make the transition from a reactive to a proactive maintenance environment. They will learn to "follow the money" and further their understanding of the business potential of reliability.

Participants will learn:

  • The financial opportunity associated with proactive maintenance
  • Where the money goes
  • How to stop wasting money
  • How is it used? 

The Reliability Game is played by teams of four people who will assume one of the following roles: Finance Manager, Purchasing Coordinator, Maintenance Resource Planner, Operations Coordinator. The concept is simple: each team determines the best way to manage their equipment, money, time, labor and material resources. Throughout the simulation, each team's financial performance is tracked and discussed, creating a competitive atmosphere. By the game's end there is typically a greater appreciation for the value of reliability and the entire reliability philosophy.
