The Benefits of Processes with Scott Kelley

In this episode of the rooted in reliability podcast, Scott Kelley talks about the benefits of the processes. A process is a visual representation of work depicted in flow diagrams that demonstrate the path you have chosen along with alternative paths to accomplish your goals, also including the decision making.
A process gives you the insight into the most efficient methods of doing your work and then document them for future use. These processes are directly tied to policies and procedures of an organization. You can also use CMMS for gathering information and then implement these methods accordingly in a better way as you will know exactly what kind of system you need depending upon your requirements.There are following things that you need to know while building a process map; who does the work? Who authorizes the work? Who hands-off the work and who they hand out to? Who verifies the work? Who approves the changes? This part continues until all the stakeholders such as suppliers, owners, customers, community, employees, and regulators are involved.

What a Plant Consists of with Scott Kelley

In today’s episode, the guest Scott Kelley tells the audience about the importance of a plant in the asset management model. The plant cell is not just limited to the physical assets of the organization but it also includes the methods, risk evaluation, and mitigation strategies which you need to take care of to keep your plant performing at its best. The physical assets, facilities, and the equipment that you are using play a critical role when you need your plant to be working successfully. To accomplish this, you will need an asset management plan which should answer the following questions; what to maintain? How to maintain? When to maintain? Why maintain? Who will maintain? How and where to document the information? What is the cost involved? What are the consequences of non-maintenance? Now there are some facets that need to be kept in mind while planning for the asset management especially your plant.

Importance of People in an Asset Management Model with Scott Kelley

In this episode, the guest Scott Kelley explains the role of the people component in the asset management model. Asset management is the most effective way of making the best use of investment and improve the production level of any organization. There are total six components in the model; people, plant, processes, policies and procedures, performance, and proactive maintenance. The people factor is of top priority among all of these factors. Why is the people component most important? Well, considering even if you have excelled in every other cell, you are going to need people to manage all of these and above all well trained and skillful people to make this work. Now, this cell in the model contains things such as organizational development, organizational structure, continuous improvement, change management, and operational excellence.

Stakeholder Analysis and Management with Tara Holwegner

In today’s episode, the guest Tara Holwegner explains the role of stakeholders and the management in an organization. It is very common that many new projects and big initiatives take place in the organizations but most of these don’t succeed or generate results as expected even if they have the potential. The problem in these cases is the little transfer of information, lack of communication, and incoherent business objectives. [Read more…]

Utilizing Multiple Layers of Protection with Fred Schenkelberg

In today’s episode, the agenda of discussion is utilizing multiple layers of protection for the products or assets of an organization. The plant itself and some other resources are very critical to the value of production of bigger companies. They can’t afford to have a failure because of the tight deadlines and allocation of specific budgets. That’s why it is always a good practice to have backups and their backups as well.

The Role of Reliability Assessments with Dan Anderson

In this episode, the guest Dan Anderson explains the role of Reliability Assessments in the organizations. Whenever an organization starts its journey towards the reliability excellence, it has to start by considering some things. One of the very first steps is to create awareness among all the employees. The workforce needs to understand and learn about the goals and objectives of the organization. Now once the employees have sufficient understanding, they should be ready to cooperate in any way organization needs them for a better and long term reliability plan.

Designing for Maintainability with Fred Schenkelberg

This episode of the weekly podcast covers the need of designing for maintainability. It is one of the biggest processes involved in the area of reliability and helps in improving the availability of the equipment in time. So first of all, we need to understand what this term is —and the tools and techniques that are required to make it successful.

27 – Designing for Reliability: The First Step in Reliability

Designing for Reliability: The First Step in Reliability

This episode is about designing for reliability. It has been proven over time that the best inventions are designed properly after planning them and before implementation — even in the earlier times people used to draw things before they actually made them. After you have done an analysis of the equipment, there is not even close to good probability to make that product completely reliable. That is why a good design should be made before developing anything for which companies hire professional designers and good ones have their own designing teams too.

In today’s episode, the topic of the discussion is 8D problem solving. When it comes to problem-solving, there are a lot of procedures and techniques out there but what most of the engineers and reliability professional use is the Eight Disciplines problem solving. It is step by step approach to finding the root cause of the problem and then resolve it effectively and systemically. To perform this method, you need to have a team of different experts in place as it is not the job of a single person. Then, you can start solving issues in the following steps.

Failure data and the CMMS with John Reeve

JOURNALSIn today’s episode, the guest is John Reeve and the agenda of discussion is failure data and CMMS. As everyone knows that to maintain and solve issues with the equipment you need to get all the basic data or information available. Computerized maintenance management system helps greatly in this task but first of all, you have to know exactly what kind of data are you looking for and what it means. Now failure data can be anything related to your asset that is the foundation data or then transactional data comes which includes the processing data related to the asset such as the actual cost. Now, next thing to understand is the failure mode which consists of the failed component, component problem and cause code. Once you have this failure data, it becomes very easy to run the basic failure analysis which is necessary at certain levels.
