What is the number one thing your equipment operators can do today to improve reliability?
@Corinne Nielsen, an RSM from Augury, said, "First, operate within design parameters. Running machines faster or different than they are intended to be can often have very real and costly reliability consequences. Second, document minor stops better.

Thanks @Corinne Nielsen for these amazing insights!
