Our services are delivered with one of three approaches as suited to your needs:

• We do it for you (e.g.: facilitation, analysis services)
• We teach you how to do it yourself (e.g.: training courses)
• We help you shift the way you manage and get things done (e.g.: our full Uptime Operational Fitness Program)

Uptime Operational Fitness Program
James Reyes-Picknell, co-author of Uptime, leads our Uptime Operational Fitness Program improvement projects.  Our consultants perform a rapid review of your operations, provide perspective on what we observe and suggestions for future action.  Timing and cost estimates help you with your resource planning and budgeting purposes.  A facilitated planning session helps your key people (from maintenance, operations, inventory management, procurement and engineering) settle on a “go forward” strategy for improvement.  Implementation of that strategy is then supported by coaching, training and both on- and off-site support from our experienced consultants.  We work with you every step of the way so that you shift the way you manage your assets and sustain that shift long after we've left. 

We want you to succeed so we take a stake in your success.  You'll pay us out of the cost savings and increased revenues generated by our improvement programs.  Let's talk about your situation when you ask us how this works.
Hire us because it will cost you more if you hire anyone else.

Reliability Centered Maintenance 2 (RCM2)
We are members of the Aladon Network of global RCM2 practitioners.  RCM2 is the world’s leading RCM methodology begun by the late John Moubray, founder of Aladon LLC.  RCM2 is more than a maintenance methodology – if you are truly “choosing excellence” it will become a part of the way you operate.  It is one of the keys to success in applying lean manufacturing methods.  Without asset reliability all your efforts to achieve lean manufacturing, to cut costs, to improve on safety and environmental performance will be compromised.  It is also the foundation of a complete asset management program that embraces safety and quality programs like Six Sigma.  RCM2 is not just about maintenance.  Its name understates both its reach and its depth.
