A strong teaching approach to working principles is to describe a top-down understanding funnel, which engineers and operators grasp very quickly because it moves from system context → function → physics.
Your plant deserves a reliability system, not just a reliability event. If you’ve been following this series — thank you.Here’s the short version of everything I’ve shared: Most downtime is
I didn’t build SquareMethods from a theory. I built it from the data. Before I built SquareMethods, I spent years researching why manufacturing plants lose production time. Not anecdotally. Formally.
SquareMethods: Know it. Optimize it. Analyse it. Execute it. Deploy it at the machine. Most reliability interventions fix one thing. A consultant optimizes your PM program and leaves. A training
A great maintenance strategy executed poorly is just an expensive failure with extra steps I’ve seen plants with excellent PM strategies still running reactive. The strategies were solid. The failure
We often think innovation means building something from scratch. But in reality, many problems already have solutions. They’re just not reaching the people who need them. Better distribution. Better access.
