Becht Reliability Culture Survey

Tool for mapping an organizations current state.

Participation is the survey is voluntary. Information will be used for a research study on decoding the success factors of "Highly Reliable Organizations (HRO)."

Results of the survey maybe shared in technical forums (anonymously) .
1.What is your industry segment? (check all that apply)
2.What is you role in the organization?
3.How old is your unit / facility (site)? Consider the major process units (exclude the expansion project unless its throughput is > 50% of the site)
4.Do you have a Reliability Engineering department / function at your site?
5.How are the Reliability Engineers aligned?
6.Who is responsible for reliability of process units? (check all that apply)
7.What does "Failure" mean, in terms of reliability in your unit?
8.What is the target availability at your site for this year?
9.Do you have any reliability tools / systems at your site?
10.What is the state of systems that support reliability functions at your site?
Plan (study)
