It wouldn’t have been too difficult, however, to find people who didn’t see the value. After a year of pandemic and the tremendous changes it has forced on the manufacturing world, it’s likely that most of those detractors are now converts. As enterprises have had to manage change at all levels, deal with constantly fluctuating manpower, adjust systems to accommodate off-site workers, and step up their implementation of IIoT technology, the need for a collaborative culture has become paramount.In this changing environment, that has put more focus on enterprise culture than ever before, Efficient Plant magazine and the Univ. of Tennessee Reliability and Maintainability Center, Knoxville, recognize organizations that are leading the way toward a culture of reliability. This month we announce the winners of the second-annual Reliability of Everything Culture Improvement awards, recognizing the Best Sustaining Culture, Best Culture Innovation, and Best Culture Start-Up.
