A New White Paper - Top Five Maintenance & Reliability Enablers for Improved Operational Performance
Author: Dennis Belanger

Think back on successful projects or initiatives both in business and your personal life. Consider why they were successful. Think about the key things than enabled these successes, particularly long-term sustained successes. By truly understanding the positive enablers that bolstered success and leveraging that understanding, chances of future success are significantly improved.

Many improvement initiatives put a significant amount of focus on the benefits they can provide, including potential cost savings and improved productivity. Unfortunately, we often don't spend enough time discussing and identifying the enablers that must be in place to achieve the projected benefits. While understanding the benefits is important, there are two additional parts to any business case: the upfront cost or investment and the level of management fortitude required to achieve the goal. I believe that management fortitude is primarily measured by how the enablers for success are addressed. If considerable effort and focus is applied to the enablers, an initiative is likely to be successful and sustainable. If the enablers are left to chance, then failure will likely be the result.

The bottom line is that taking the time to understand, establish, and surround yourself with a foundation of positive enablers is key to success.
