241 – The Role of the EAM in Improving Reliability with Steve Richmond

241 – The Role of the EAM in Improving Reliability with Steve Richmond

The Role of the EAM in Improving Reliability with Steve Richmond

It’s our pleasure to welcome Steve Richmond, the founder, and CEO of Projetech, a company providing IBM Maximo as a service. He has a degree in mechanical engineering and is also on the Forbes Technology Council. Projetech started by building automation systems, energy management, among others. It’s currently involved in providing Enterprise Asset Management as a service, with Steve’s experience in CMMS and EAM systems spanning about 30 years.

In this episode, we will be discussing:

  • What is Maximo
  • How does an EAM help with improving reliability
  • How do you ensure the data collected is accurate within the CMMS
  • What mistakes do organizations make when they’re trying to use EAMs to improve reliability

…and so much more!

SOR 583 Time Discussing Reliability

SOR 583 Time Discussing Reliability

Time Discussing Reliability

Abstract

Chris and Fred discuss the idea of timing how long you spend talking about ‘reliability engineering.’ And by this, we mean conversation where you (1) proactively talking about preventing failures before they occur, and (2) in a way where something gets done about it (improving something)? Let’s say someone timed how much time your organization spent on this sort of conversation – would you be proud of the number you get?

Abstract

Chris and Fred discuss the typical decisions that are informed by reliability. It might be easier to list what decisions are not informed by reliability engineering. We came up with a list of 13 … and that is only because we ran out of time. What decisions you think are influenced by reliability engineering? Listen to this podcast to learn more.

SOR 548 Leaders, Champions, and Managers

SOR 548 Leaders, Champions, and Managers

Leaders, Champions, and Managers

Abstract

Chris and Fred discuss what a leader, champion and manager are. Many textbooks, guidebooks and so-called ‘domain experts’ tell us what (for example) a ‘reliability leader’ is. In some cases the ‘reliability leader’ is someone who has little influence, and is more of an ad hoc ‘doer.’ Not a leader. Why is this? Listen to this podcast to hear more about this?

Chris and Carl continue the discussion on the history of reliability engineering. The discussion that started with Chris and Adam (you can click here to listen to it). In the short time they had to talk about it, they came up with 6 reliability engineering epochs. Now Carl is going to see if there is anything to add – and importantly – anything to learn.

SOR 515 Reliability Security Blankets

SOR 515 Reliability Security Blankets

SOR 515 Reliability Security Blankets

Abstract

Chris discusses ‘reliability security blankets.’ You know what security blankets are – the things that parents offer young children to make them feel safe and comfortable. Not because these blankets actually offer warmth, comfort or safety – but rather because the children associate feelings of warmth and safety with that object because it is ‘always there’ when they are at home or go to be. A reliability security blanket does the same thing – it calms the leaders, managers, bosses, and directors of an organization. But – that is it! There is no reliability to be found.

SOR 471 Questions to Ask about Data Analysis

SOR 471 Questions to Ask about Data Analysis

Questions to Ask about Data Analysis

Abstract

Chris and Fred discuss data analysis … specifically the first question we ask before we help someone with their data analysis project. Chris always asks – what is the decision that this data analysis will support? And Fred always asks – where did this data come from? The reason these questions are important is that you need to know what information you need before you construct an analysis to get that information. And you need to be confident in the results. A single data set can potentially create multiple information sets. And this depends on how you construct the analysis. Which based on the decision. Listen to this podcast if you would like to learn more.
