Audio RSS Show Notes Fred and Dianna discuss the differences between being a manager and building a team, noting that simply managing a department is very different from creating a team to solve a specific problem. They emphasize that a reliability program should not be built around one person, as that program will disappear when that person leaves the organization. Building a team requires influence, explaining the benefits, and getting people to understand what’s in it for them. A key element of a team is understanding business risk. The team can assist with putting a dollar amount on the risk to get a project going. Ad hoc teams can be useful to solve problems, like a customer complaint, or for continuous improvement. The team should include people from different parts of the organization. In one case, a reliability engineer built a team that saved a company millions of dollars by identifying bottlenecks in the prototype process. There can be reliability lessons in business systems and processes as well. The post SOR 1046 Building a Reliability Team appeared first on Accendo Reliability. 2y405s
