Autorenporträt
Kenneth C. Latino is Reliability Champion of MeadWestvaco in Covington, Virginia. He has a bachelor of science degree in computerized information systems from Virginia Commonwealth University. He began his career developing and maintaining maintenance software applications in the continuous process industries. After working with clients to help them become more proactive in their maintenance activities, he began consulting and teaching industrial plants how to implement reliability methodologies and techniques to help improve the overall performance of plant assets. Over the past few years, a majority of Kenneth's focus has centered around developing reliability approaches with a heavy emphasis on Root Cause Analysis (RCA). He has trained thousands of engineers and technical representatives on how to implement a successful RCA strategy at their respective facilities. He has co-authored two RCA training seminars: one for engineers and another for hourly personnel. Kenneth is also co-software designer of the RCA program entitled the PROACT Suite. PROACT was a National Gold Medal Award winner in Plant Engineering's 1998 and 2000 Product of the Year competition for it first two versions on the market. He is currently president of the Practical Reliability Group, a Reliability consulting firm dedicated to delivering approaches and solutions that can be practically applied in any asset-intensive industry.
