Reliability - More Than Just a Reliability Group

In your reliability role, have you ever felt like Rodney Dangerfield because you get no respect? Is your reliability group looked on as a cost and/or time burden to a project? If so, you may be working too hard implementing a reliability discipline versus developing a reliability culture. This tutorial will follow the transition from reliability discipline toward reliability culture in Halliburtons Production Optimization organization over the last 20 years. Methods that garnered support/involvement from management and the overall organization will be presented. One of the methods was as simple as presenting data as a movie versus two-dimensional plots. Another was capturing the dollar value of the work done to show the value returned by reliability efforts. Tools such as virtual testing to decrease your cost of operating will be presented. This presentation will also illustrate parallels between reliability activities within Halliburton and recent U.S. military recommendations for achieving ultra-reliability as presented in the U.S. Army paper entitled Making Reliability a Reality.

Key Words: Reliability Culture, Marketing Reliability, Case Studies, Virtual Testing, Knowledge Management Portals, Discipline, Stakeholders, Making Reliability a Reality
