International Applied Reliability Symposium

 Tutorial 1

Developing a Reliability Centered Culture

At the very core of the welfare of society lies the creation of a secure and effective environment for living, working and cultural interactions. Yet both the built and natural components of this environment contain risk. Although decisions regarding acceptable risk levels belong to society-at-large, analysis of risk related to human-made infrastructure has typically been the domain of Engineering. Reliability Engineering leaders have failed to identify and invest in the full range of the projects/activities required to support the strategies required to give their organizations the full benefit of a risk analysis environment (or "Reliability Centered Culture") of the organization.

In this tutorial, we will cover the critical imperatives that will enable organizations to develop the right strategies and take them to completion. We will cover elements of the strategies development such as: ideation, nature, vision, engagement, synthesis and transition as applied to the development of the reliability program.
