Mastering the Asset Reliability Transformation® [ART] process
Achieving success takes knowledge, skill, and drive. The ART process will guide you through the minefield that is "reliability improvement" and this training will enable you to gain the best results from the ART process.
ART Training & Education from Mobius Institute™
In order to successfully execute the entire ART process, knowledge and competence must exist across the entire spectrum of reliability improvement, from the establishment and business case of the program, through culture change, through maintenance practices including planning and scheduling and precision maintenance, through project management and RAMS analysis, through improved production techniques, including condition monitoring measurement and analysis, and the analytical process to continuously make improvement. It is not necessary for a single person to master every subject. It is necessary for the leader of the initiative to have a solid understanding of the entire process and be supported by people, such as reliability engineers, condition monitoring specialists, maintenance personnel, and so on, who have detailed knowledge when necessary.
Asset Reliability Practitioner [ARP-A] “Reliability Advocate”
If a person is relatively new to reliability improvement, then the three-day ARP-A “Reliability Advocate” course is the ideal place to start. It will provide a solid overview of reliability and performance improvement plus a summary of the ART process.
Asset Reliability Practitioner [ARP-E] “Reliability Engineer”
The ARP-E “Reliability Engineer” course does not focus on the ART process, however it does provide detailed training on the majority of the technical areas necessary to support a reliability program leader in the execution of the reliability program. That knowledge is required to be successful in the ACQUIRE phase, DISCIPLINE phase, CARE phase, ANALYTICS phase, and EOL phase.
Asset Reliability Practitioner “Reliability Program Leader”
The ARP-L “Reliability Program Leader” course is a four-and-a-half day course that takes the leader of the initiative through the entire ART process.
The majority of the time is focused on the economics role of reliability and establishing the business case (the VALUE phase), the psychology of reliability and culture change (the PEOPLE phase), and the establishment and execution of the implementation process (the STRATEGY phase), and the continual improvement of the process (the optimize phase). We also spend a great deal of time on the strategy required to break out of the reactive maintenance cycle of doom (the CONTROL phase). The remainder of the time is a detailed summary of the remaining phases of the ART process.
At the end of the Reliability Program Leader course, an individual will clearly understand the ART process and will be confident in their ability to implement a reliability improvement process.
However, the ART process is made up of ten phases, each with a series of major steps (and those steps include major items such as planning and scheduling, condition monitoring, and other significant elements of a program). The steps are made up of numerous recommended practices that define the major goals and milestones of the steps. The ARP-L Reliability Program Leader course focuses on the steps in the VALUE, STRATEGY, PEOPLE, CONTROL, and OPTIMIZE phases and summarizes the steps in the remaining phases (ACQUIRE, DISCIPLINE, ANALYTICS, and EOL).
