Reliability Excellence^® & Business Performance Videos

Get inspired to improve organizational performance by listening to some of Life Cycle Engineering’s experts on a variety of topics.

Management of Change vs. Change Management

Dave Berube discusses the terms Management of Change vs Change Management. Often times these terms are used incorrectly. "Management of Change" refers to the technical side of change. "Change Management" refers to the people side of change.

Common Attributes of the Best Performing Organizations

Andy Gager discusses the common attributes that he sees in the best performing organizations around the world. These common attributes include safety, training, TPM/operator care, cross functional meetings, team effort in root cause analysis, allowance of time, defect elimination and a solid supply chain.

Improving Plant Performance with Leading Metrics

Dave Berube discusses improving plant performance by focusing on leading metrics. Don't focus on lagging indicators. Focus on leading indicators (new behaviors) to achieve better results, to get better performance, to achieve more profit.

All Maintenance Needs is TLC (Time, Labor & Control)

Andy Gager discusses providing your maintenance department with Time, Labor and Control. By doing so, your organization will see immediate improvements in asset reliability, improved productivity, reduction in unscheduled downtime, and safer conditions.

Maintenance Supervisor Coaching

Dave Berube discusses how to coach a Maintenance Supervisor. The three areas of focus for a maintenance supervisor are Job Safety, Job Quality and Job Efficiency. LCE uses a coaching card to maintain focus on these three areas. If you would like a copy of a coaching card, please email us at info@lce.com

Using Kitting for Maintenance Repairs

Al Emeneker discusses using kitting for maintenance repairs, specifically planned work kitting and crash kits.

Operations-led Reliability

Bruce Wesner discusses his presentation "Operations-led Reliability" at Reliable Plant Conference 2011. The four main themes were operator care rounds, loss elimination, implement standard work and autonomous maintenance.

Lean Implementation Model

Mark Ruby, Senior Vice President of the Reliability Consulting Group, discusses our holistic Lean Implementation Model.

The Importance of Culture Change in Work Management
and Reliability

Randy Heisler discusses his presentation "The Importance of Culture Change in Work Management and Reliability" at Electric Power Expo 2011.

Meeting Increased Market Demand Through Reliability Excellence

Operational stability, powered by Reliability Excellence, helps businesses build sustainable, world-class performance. In a competitive climate, on-time deliveries of high-quality products can be a differentiator and can lead to increased market share. In this video, Randy Heisler, explains the questions you should ask to determine if you have the operational stability in place to meet market demand.
