The Reliability Excellence (Rx) Model
Reliability Excellence (Rx) is a business philosophy, driven through cultural change, that focuses on equipment reliability and process control as the foundation of modern manufacturing operations.
Implementing Reliability Excellence (Rx) is best done in a series of five discrete levels. All levels must be in place for a site to fully achieve Reliability Excellence. Each one must be implemented and solidified in turn; failure to do so will leave gaps that will make the next level much more difficult and may even jeopardize the success of the entire effort.
The five levels of Reliability Excellence, shown below, are:
- Creating a foundation with vision and values
- Defining the new culture in which work is accomplished
- Implementing work processes that are defined, disciplined and effective
- Optimizing work processes to improve efficiency and effectiveness
- Measuring performance to ensure sustainability and continuous improvement
Each level has specific elements that must be in place for that level to be fully functional.
