Reliability Excellence for Managers (RxM) teaches the tools and processes required to develop, implement and sustain world-class maintenance and reliability programs.
The class is delivered in four 3-day sessions with a 4 to 8 week interval between sessions. After each session, participants are encouraged to apply what they have learned to reinforce the learning and raise retention. When they return for the following session, participants share their experiences, thereby gaining a deep understanding and ability to sustain what they have learned.
At the conclusion of the class, participants will know how to apply the tools and processes of the same exclusive Life Cycle Engineering Reliability Excellence program that has been successfully implemented by leading companies around the world.

Who Should Attend
Reliability Excellence for Managers is ideal for managers engaged in process improvement initiatives such as Lean, TPM and Six Sigma. Suggestions include General Managers, Plant Managers, Corporate Reliability Managers, Maintenance Managers, Operations Managers and Reliability Engineers.
Rx is not only a maintenance initiative. Including operations and maintenance professionals will aid in establishing the interdepartmental partnerships that produce successful Rx programs. Rx requires a change from a reactive to proactive culture. Including senior management will foster the high level sponsorship necessary to create the systems, measures, behaviors and interdepartmental collaboration that facilitate this culture change.
