RO Consulting was founded in 2016 to serve the petrochemical & energy industries in their pursuit of manufacturing excellence. Its founder, Tom Ranna, has over 30 years of experience with ExxonMobil in petrochemical manufacturing. His experience with Exxon Chemical and ExxonMobil provides a wealth of practical know how in driving
reliability improvements in process manufacturing facilities. From developing Exxon Chemicals work processes in the 90’s to leading the Baytown Reliability Engineering team in the 2000’s, Tom has both the diverse perspective and expert knowledge to help your facility become world class.
RO Consulting is the culmination of this knowledge. Being “reliable” is
so much more than improving up-time. When properly implemented, these best in class reliability principles can help you to be more efficient, more predictable, and more valuable. RO Consulting is different from others in that we can help you optimize these dimensions. It’s time to get your “Reliability Optimized.”

RO Consulting follows a proven model of improvement
RISK BASED WORK SELECTION – API 580 sets forth a “Risk Based Inspection” practice. The concept is to establish a model (definition) of risk, and then select inspection work based on the risk associated with the asset. RO Consulting has taken the risk based work selection concept and applied it to all disciplines of manufacturing (not just inspection).
RELIABILITY CENTERED MAINTENANCE – The RCM concept was formed in the 70’s to improve reliability in the airline industry, and it was highly successful. In the 90’s, the late John Moubray published his book RCMII to facilitate the application of RCM to various industries. Unfortunately, many organizations have stumbled in their implementation of RCM over the last 20 years. RO Consulting can help you change that by properly combining RCM with other robust work processes (like RBWS). The most important aspect of implementing RCM is to not “over-use” it…
