Reliability for Planners


Welcome to Reliability for Planners
, a specialized course designed for planning professionals working in industrial, construction, and maintenance environments. Throughout this course, you will develop essential knowledge and practical skills needed to integrate reliability principles into your planning activities.

This program consists of four core components that progressively build your reliability capabilities as a planner:

  1. Fundamentals of Reliability: This lesson introduces key concepts and definitions related to Reliability, focusing on essential reliability metrics, various failure modes, and their implications for effective planning. You will also explore the Reliability-Centered Maintenance approach, which emphasizes the importance of reliability in maintenance strategies.

  1. The Reliability Department Interface: This lesson will cover the structure and functions of reliability departments, as well as the critical interface between reliability and planning. You will explore effective collaboration strategies, along with methods for data sharing and analysis.

  1. Reliability in Different Maintenance Contexts: This lesson provides an introduction to reliability planning, focusing on its application in routine maintenance, shutdowns, turnarounds, and outages (STOs), as well as reliability considerations in capital projects and context-specific planning approaches.

  2. The Planner's Role in Reliability: This final lesson focuses on your critical role in integrating reliability into work packages, planning resources effectively for reliability, documenting and communicating reliability requirements, and addressing common challenges related to reliability.


Each lesson includes practical exercises, case studies, and knowledge checks to reinforce key concepts and build applicable skills. While theory provides necessary foundation, this course emphasizes practical application that you can implement immediately in your planning role to enhance work package quality and equipment reliability.

Planning excellence develops through the application of sound principles in diverse situations. By connecting course concepts to your specific planning context, you will develop skills that enhance your work package quality immediately while building capabilities that serve you throughout your planning career.
