Conscious Reliability

Our Approach

The time is ripe for a new perspective and tool for reliability, more closely aligned with today’s thinking on Asset management, more effective in a harsh business climate, leveraging today’s technological advancements and accommodating the shifting demographics in our dynamic workforce that is actually getting younger.

It is time for RCM to be re-engineered.  We hope that our blend of experience and experimenting, ultimately culminating in our collaboration in writing “Reliability Centered Maintenance – Reengineered”, we’ve put into developing our methods and documenting them here, contributes to safety, environmental integrity, risk reduction and profitable industrial capability for years to come.

Conscious Reliability would like to employ our experience, expertise and excellence by helping your organization on that journey of excellence we know as Asset Management enabled and enhanced by RCM-R®

Principal Partners – James Reyes-Picknell and Jesus Sifonte

Our Story

Conscious Reliability® is a specialist training service provider focused on reliability of physical assets. We represent the merger of two leading specialist firms, CMMI of Puerto Rico, USA and Conscious Asset of Canada, and their lead consultants, Jesus Sifonte and James Reyes-Picknell.

After meeting and discovering we had so much in common, we decided to work together. The book came first. We took a leap forward Re-Engineering the Reliability Centered Maintenance process, making it more relevant in today’s demanding and increasingly data driven business climate. It’s a great fit for services we both offered. Then we decided to collaborate in business, join forces and grow this as a business to meet the demands of a market that is under-and poorly-served.
