As best practice turns its focus on Operational Excellence, Maintenance and Reliability are seen as a key to reducing costs and deliver both savings and improvements in productivity. C3 are well placed to help guide you through what can appear to be a complex set of work processes, carefully tailored to fit your organisation’s needs – In our experience one size does not fit all.

C3 believe that Reliability Engineering is closely related to Safety Engineering in the sense that they both use common methods for their analysis and if done robustly require input from each other. The main difference is that reliability has its main focus on costs of failure caused by system downtime, cost of spares, repair equipment, personnel and cost of warranty claims.
