Selecting and utilizing Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) present challenges due to varying industry needs, work types, and organizational sizes.
- Alignment of CMMS with an organization’s maturity level, needs, and goals is crucial.
- Common issues include data overload and a lack of discipline in data input.
- Proper planning and distinguishing necessities from nice-to-haves are important in CMMS implementation.
- Changing systems should not substitute for enforcing accountability within an organization.
- Cultural change and behavioral adoption challenges are discussed in CMMS implementation.
- Employees should understand the value of the system for improvement, not surveillance.
- Training and addressing employee concerns during implementation are essential.
- Maintenance is not solely about turning wrenches; proactive practices and asset health monitoring are key.

QDD 167: Redux: Choosing a Confidence Level for Test using FMEA
Choosing a Confidence Level for Test using FMEA
We’re developing requirements for our product, including setting reliability requirements. Or we’re setting acceptance criteria for our test plans.
What confidence levels do we choose? We don’t have to blindly set them – we can base it off the risks of failure, using our FMEA (failure mode effects analysis).

CR027: CMMS Selection and Utilization – A Course at University of Wisconsin with guest George Williams
CMMS Selection and Utilization – A Course at University of Wisconsin with guest George Williams
Thank you, George Williams of ReliabilityX, for joining CMMSradio to discuss the upcoming course offering on CMMS selection and utilization at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (in person or online). A much-needed course to help maintenance professionals thrive when it comes to their CMMS journey. Get the process and reasons behind the process right before you select a CMMS. Lots of insights in this episode including some practical views on…
- Who should own the CMMS?
- Setting your requirements
- Right system for your size and type of operation
- Strengthening the value proposition for better CMMS adoption
- Setting expectations
Having a course run by a Bonafide maintenance and reliability professional, like George Williams, is what’s needed to bridge common gaps maintenance professionals deal with across teams when they get this CMMS selection part wrong, or they have to adopt a system already in place (totally possible). There are healthy debates, and the interactive nature of the course assures everyone is on the same page and learning these principals to selecting and utilizing a CMMS platform.

Linking Customer Needs to Product Requirements and Robust Design
Linking Customer Needs to Product Requirements and Robust Design
podcast episode with speaker Rob Allen
Reliability engineers should have a clear understanding of how customer needs link to product requirements. Product requirements that have the most impact on customer needs should be considered in your design failure modes and effects analysis (DFMEA). This webinar will review the quality function deployment methodology (QFD), which identifies critical-to-quality (CTQ) requirements and supports requirements validation. We will also cover how the relative importance of CTQs can be used to determine DFMEA severity criteria.

RM 166: Electronics: Down Memory Lane and a Vision for the Future
Electronics: Down Memory Lane and a Vision for the Future
This episode is a little different in two ways. First, I didn’t record it in my studio. I recorded it at the SMTA Pan Pacific strategic Electronics symposium, affectionately known as PanPac, in beautiful Maui Hawaii.
Each year, I record a Reliability Matters podcast at PanPac. Normally, the format of the show is I ask questions, and my guests provide answers. On this episode however, I decided to let my guest do all of the talking.
The theme of this episode is Electronics: Down Memory Lane and a Vision for the Future.
My three guests on this episode will share their view of the history of electronics from three different perspectives. My guests are Dr. Ron Lasky from Dartmouth College, Dr John Evans, and Dr. Tom Duval, both from Auburn University. They’ll share their perspectives on the history of the electronics industry in presentation format.
