Six 30-minute sessions covered: “Business Management in the Maintenance and Reliability World,” “What is a High Reliability Organization,” “Not Looking Forward to your Monthly Maintenance Budget Discussion – Improve Your Maintenance Practices,” “Build Your Reliability Program by Understanding the Cost of Unreliability,” and “Manufacturing Process Reliability, The future of AI and Data in the Industrial Space.” An afternoon panel session, “Craft Resourcing, Work Management and Business Ethics,” rounded out the day’s events.
