What SUCCESS by DESIGN can do for You!...

SUCCESS by DESIGN continues to win awards from our clients related to all of our services based upon real results and direct answers.  All of our successes are measured in real dollars and real results, both immediate and long term.  It surprised us to find that this is unusual.

We keep our staff lean so that we can provide you the best and most cost effective solutions without having to 'load' the work.  We also do not compete with your internal resources, such as PdM services, but can assist you in selecting qualified companies when required.

Our resources, world-wide, include universities, government, consultants, service companies, laboratories, and others who are available to take part in developing and implementing those solutions and best practices.

  • Develop strategies and best practices for reliability, maintenance, energy, and environment (RME&E) from facilities to production, and show your people how to do the same;

  • Identify support for RME&E efforts from organizations and grants, where available;

  • Coach predictive and troubleshooting technologies for accuracy and Time to Failure Estimation™  techniques.  As your people come up to speed, we are phased out of the program;

  • Electrical and Mechanical forensic analysis and technology research;

  • Motor Management Program development, in-house or contracted;

  • Design, Production, and Product development support;

  • Qualify service and repair vendors, develop new and repaired equipment specifications; and

  • much, much more.

Contact Us with your challenge and we will quote a solution.  If it does not meet our capabilities, we may be able to provide you contacts who can.
