%X Employing equipment reliability databases can  generate a process of continual improvement. This paper suggests a methodology  that uses equipment reliability databases, and a process of benchmarking to  establish a continual improvement procedure by learning "how others are  doing it". A simple decision-making procedure is suggested too, to assist  in prioritizing the processes/equipment that are considered to be improved as  well as a methodology to measure the improvement.
