148 – Leveraging Failure Data for Better Decision Making with John Reeve

Leveraging Failure Data for Better Decision Making with John Reeve

Failure data is very important for leaders to make effective and efficient decisions. That’s why they are always looking for industry best practices and new implementation techniques to understand failure codes and failure modes in a better way. The organizations always focus on understanding failure codes so that they can design their CMMS. They always configure their CMMS to better analyze the failure data. They have a process in place that allows them to run failure data against different fields based on the failure codes. Failure data must be synchronized to hold RCM analysis results. CMMS can be built in way that it perfectly serves the purpose.

In this episode, we covered:

  • What is failure data?
  • How can we get failure data out of the CMMS?
  • What can we do with failure data?
  • and much, much more!

Phil and Jim also produce a question and answer program, answering technical assembly-related questions in an equally valuable and humorous manner. As you will hear, Phil and Jim, while taking their customer’s problems seriously, don’t take themselves too seriously, which is one of the things I love about them.
