About Philip Sage

Philip is a CMRP – 40 years of Industrial Reliability Experience, Quality Management, Operations, Leadership and a noted book author. Philip is based out of Australia and works with multicultural teams globally helping them innovate and deliver maximum value . As a Global Talent and Subject Matter Expert (SME) he has been called upon to perform design audits for large corporate projects, and helped other teams achieve reliability centric Operational Excellence. Today he supports the delivery of optimized (RCM) Reliability Centred Maintenance Strategy delivery and trains engineers globally.

He has served many posts. This includes 3 years in Northern China as the design architect of a large green field manufacturing plant and 2 years supporting Asian Reliability Engineers. Along the way Philip has trained in multiple languages and learning cultures. He has designed training that works. He has enabled the maintenance planner using.
 High Precision Planning or (HPP) for the complete materials management with the kit up function interacting with graphical scheduling of individual scheduling and craft qualification tracking. Philip has advanced the use of most top ERP systems including deploying machine performance prognostic health monitoring with a novel performance measurement called the Reliability Performance Index or (Rpk). Philip has enabled Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) using automation to initiate a RCFA analysis and track the open action items. Philip has designed novel Asset Health Monitoring scorecards that included predictive testing and inspection results recording against national and international standards.

Over his global career - Philip has worked extensively with advanced teams in the United States, Europe, The Middle East, Sub-Sahara Africa, South East Asia, China and Australia/New Zealand.
