Abstract

Employing equipment reliability databases can

generate a process of continual improvement. This paper suggests a methodology

that uses equipment reliability databases, and a process of benchmarking to

establish a continual improvement procedure by learning "how others are

doing it". A simple decision-making procedure is suggested too, to assist

in prioritizing the processes/equipment that are considered to be improved as

well as a methodology to measure the improvement.
