What are Reliability Sprints?
... they are 30–45 day engagements where we turn your FIELD OR TEST DATA for one asset, subsystem, or failure mode into a clear, DEFENSIBLE RELIABILITY DECISION.
MAINTENANCE OPTIMIZATION
Modelled the post-Preventive Maintenance (PM) failure rates to identify over-servicing, or the optimal PM interval if we are under-servicing.
Most analyses we have completed show machines are OVER-SERVICED.
Who is a Reliability Sprint for?
-
Manufacturers or producers with WARRANTY or EARLY-LIFE FAILURES
-
Plants experiencing TOO MUCH DOWNTIME
-
Engineering leaders who need a DEFENSIBLE RECOMMENDATION fast
-
Design teams making TRADE-OFF or sourcing decisions
-
Asset and fleet managers debating PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE intervals
-
R&D teams needing as much information as possible from LITTLE DATA
-
Those who need to present COMPLEX CONCEPTS (SIMPLY) and VISUALLY

How Do Our Sprints Work?
1
DISCOVERY & DATA INTAKE
-
60-minute kickoff where data is exchanged and explained
-
CLARIFICATION OF GOAL ... what decision do we need to make?
2
RELIABILITY & MAINTENANCE ANALYSIS
-
Model development and selection (based on Weibull, normal, lognormal, or more complex Physics of Failure)
-
MCMC analysis, along with PM optimization (if applicable)
3
ENGINEERING INTERPRETATION
-
Identification of likely failure modes, mechanisms and their root causes (allont with likely corrective actions)
-
Analysis of key reliability metrics (such as warranty reliability, L5 life) along with confidence projections
4
REPORT (and ACTION PLAYBOOK if applicable)
-
Clearly written documents outlining what was found, how it was found
-
Recommended actions regarding PM optimization, redesign, supplier selection, burn-in or anything else (along with estimated value and cost savings)
-
ACTION PLAYBOOK contains proposed steps and timelines
5
PRESENTATION
-
Virtual conference where we outline the PROBLEM, ANALYSIS, INSIGHT, DECISION(s), expected VALUE, and supporting illustrations
6
FOLLOW-UP SUPPORT
-
OVER THE NEXT 30 DAYs - two 60-minute check-in sessions, email Q&A, and decision refinement
Why Acuitas Reliability Sprints?
Each RELIABILITY SPRINT is led directly by Dr. Christopher Jackson, PhD — an industry-recognized expert in Weibull analysis, RCM principles, Bayesian methods, and engineering decision-making. He is known for:
-
Transforming complex failure data into clear, defensible decisions
-
Training engineers globally through more than 30 webinars and masterclasses
-
Building reliability capability in plant and design teams
-
Communicating reliability in a way leadership understands immediately
