116 – Repair vs Replace Decision Making with Susan Lubell
Repair vs Replace Decision Making with Susan Lubell
Without questions, organizations in the world need their assets to be optimal and to run efficiently. They can’t afford downtime because of the production targets they have to achieve. That is why they have to make a smart decision. They can either refurbish the assets or replace them. But the question is, when is refurbishing preferred over replacement? With refurbishment, you check the life-cycle cost of an asset. Sometimes, companies make small repairs because it’s relatively inexpensive and they can easily get the asset up and running quickly versus replacing the asset which may take time in lieu of internal approval process and purchase lead time.

Ultrasound-Assisted Lubrication with Adrian Messer
Proper lubrication is one of the most important things to consider to keep the equipment up and running. When the equipment is over-lubricated or under-lubricated, it can lead to premature failures and increased maintenance costs. So how do we know how much lubrication a machine or a parts needs? What tools can be used for a precise amount of lubrication?

114 – Electrical Safety Survey Review with Tom Wilk
Electrical Safety Survey Review with Tom Wilk
The usage of electricity in doing the day-to-day tasks in the workplace is a common practice. The safety of the workers and maintaining the electrical equipment is just as important as the maintenance of other systems. There are electrical safety programs in place but still, there are a lot of fatalities in the workplace because of exposure to sensitive electricity-based tools. There are safety manuals in place but there are other reasons that these safety issues occur all the time in the maintenance and reliability industry. This may be due to lack of training or with electrical safety programs not in compliance with the work environment—region, country, and other regulatory compliances.
