APPLY FOR 2026!
Plant Services is very proud to partner with the University of Tennessee’s Reliability and Maintainability Center on the Reliability of Everything™ Culture Improvement Awards.
Awards are given in up to three different categories (Culture Start-Up, Sustaining Culture, and Culture Innovation) and are based on three criteria:
- Measured improvement in R&M metrics (25%)
- Measured improvement in culture and impact on R&M/operations (50%)
- Documented journey/process used with lessons learned (25%)
The Culture Improvement Awards are about making measurable progress. This is true regardless of the quartile where your company started. It also applies to where it is now. It’s just as significant to go from the 4th to 3rd quartile. Often, this is more difficult than going from the 2nd to 1st (top) quartile.
In short, these awards recognize people from real-world plant environments. Understanding why these elements worked or didn’t can benefit all plant professionals.
