“The future is a factory with people who are elevated with technology and have the right data to do the right analysis, take the right action all day every day. Continuous improvement all the time, that’s the future that we’re building, with you.
Raja Shembekar
“You should believe in this data, you should take action in this data, and it should be in real time....This mindset is really important”
Prabhu Ramachandran
“If data and insights are to create any value, they must influence people and systems’ behaviors. That’s why culture transformation is part of the key.”
Susann Kazunas
“Connect what makes the job better for a maintenance member and ultimately improves our OA for our production facilities and shift the conversation from not just OA and downtime but asset optimization.”
Larry Kessler
“Improving reliability, that’s what we are after. It improves everyone's lives at work as the reliability goes up.”
Alan Sherrington
“The four most powerful words in the English language are, ‘what do you think?’ and when you have a sincere conversation...and you remember that good communication starts with excellence in listening you can drive any change that you want.”
Jacob Loverich
“We will see where we want to end up which is less time on wrench and more time analyzing and learning about the health of our assets and planning.”
