N2  - 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.
