Meet Chris Jackson.
a Reliability & Quality Engineering expert
and educator driven by one mission:
to help organizations unlock the
performance, safety, and
lifecycle value they expect
from their products and assets.
As the founder of Acuitas, I partner with leaders, engineers, and maintenance teams across industries to improve decision-making through practical, data-driven reliability engineering. Whether it’s implementing Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), diagnosing recurring defects, or building capability through world-class training, I help people move from reacting to failure - to managing risk with confidence.
Fancy a quick conversation?
What I Believe...
Equipment fails. People succeed.
Reliability is an investment in people — their knowledge, their judgement, and their ability
to solve problems before they become failures.
I’m passionate about empowering teams to apply reliability tools effectively and independently
— not to rely on consultants forever.
My Approach
Reliabilty and Quality Engineering are not just technical disciplines.
They are strategic and cultural ones.
I focus on:
Reducing unplanned downtime and chronic issues
Improving performance of critical equipment
Translating complex statistics into clear, actionable insight
Building internal capability through coaching and education
Everything I teach and deliver is grounded in real-world industrial experience, not theory alone.
