John Povilaitis and Alan Seltzer

It’s official. Congress passed the historic Infrastructure Bill, which is a critical investment that aims to modernize our country’s infrastructure. But, this bill also has significant implications for the energy industry.

We invited John Povilaitis and Alan Seltzer, shareholders at Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, to the show to share their thoughts and insights on what the bill’s impact will be on the energy industry now and in the future.

QDD 055 Quality as a Strategic Asset vs. Quality as a Control

QDD 055 Quality as a Strategic Asset vs. Quality as a Control

Quality as a Strategic Asset vs. Quality as a Control

Viewing Quality as a strategic asset to new product development can help us create those products that others love, for less. We talk about some challenges with new product development, the ideal state, and how we can use quality to get there. Use quality engineering and reliability engineering to P.R.U.N.E. the development process so we can develop the best products that we can.

311 – Defect Elimination with Doug Plucknette

Defect Elimination with Doug Plucknette

Welcome Doug back to the podcast. Doug is the Author, President and Owner of Reliability Solutions Inc. Though briefly, give an introduction of yourself.

I started my reliability consultancy career back in 1999 after serving in several capacities at different organisations. Although currently semi-retired, I still respond to past clients who need help in streamlining their processes.

In this episode we covered:

  • How do we start moving defect elimination from smaller  to a little more advanced problems?
  • How long does it take to move from simpler problems such as leaks to dealing with more advanced asset problems?
  • How do you prioritise the problems to be worked on?

Leadership Connection Interview with Bob Latino

The Leadership Connection Host, Doug Plucknette, interviews reliability leader Bob Latino in Episode 29 of this series.

Mr. Latino is an internationally recognized author, trainer, software developer, lecturer and practitioner of best practices in the field of Reliability Engineering and specifically in Root Cause Analysis & Investigation Management. When an expensive machine breaks down, most companies just fix it without understanding why it broke. Bob shows companies how to reveal Root Causes of complex incidents so they can save millions of dollars over time.

CT E10 Application of Bayesian Statistical Methods in Medical Device Design and Development with Riley King

CT E10 Application of Bayesian Statistical Methods in Medical Device Design and Development with Riley King

CT E10 Application of Bayesian Statistical Methods in Medical Device Design and Development with Riley King

In today’s episode, my guest Riley King and I explore the application of Bayesian statistical methods in the medical device industry. Riley is a thought leader in medical device design and development and has worked with class III medical devices for over 14 years.

Riley shares with us

· His experience in medical device R&D and working in a quality leadership position in medical device

· The use of conventional, frequentist statistical methods in medical device development and some of the challenges he has faced when trying to apply conventional statistical methods

· His explanation of Bayesian statistics, the difference between frequentist and Bayesian methods, and why use Bayesian methods

· Real-life medical device use cases where Bayesian methods can be useful

· His tools of choice, which includes the programming language R and specific packages for Bayesian methods

· His learning journey and book/resource recommendations

· Tips for those in a similar line of work interested in learning and applying these techniques

· Trends he believes will shape the future of medical device technology and development

Riley has a blog called [R]eliability – A Random Walk in the Medical Device Space, where he talks in detail about his experiences. Make sure to check it out; it is awesome!

QDD 054 Design Specs vs. Process Control, Capability, and SPC

Design Specs vs. Process Control, Capability, and SPC

This fourth episode of the “QDD Versus” series focuses on concepts relating to Design for Manufacturability. Understand how design specs fit into process control, process capability, and SPC and where they typically don’t fit at all.

We talk about things to think about when setting limits on design features.
And, when defining controls for potential failures, knowing how processes are controlled can help us decide if the controls we have are good enough or not.

RM 094: A Conversation with Author Dr. Ron Lasky About His Many Books

RM 094: A Conversation with Author Dr. Ron Lasky About His Many Books

A Conversation with Author Dr. Ron Lasky About His Many Books

Dr. Ron Lasky talks about the many books he has authored on SMT processes and production efficiencies. 

Dr. Ron Lasky is a Senior Technologist at Indium Corporation, as well as a Professor of Engineering at Dartmouth College, where I have twice had the privilege of speaking on the Dartmouth campus to his students. If you’re like some people who view the next generation of young adults skeptically and pessimistically, I can assure you your view would quickly change after spending time with his students. Dr. Lasky has more than 30 years of experience in electronics and optoelectronics packaging at IBM, Universal Instruments, and Cookson Electronics. Additionally, he has served as an adjunct professor at several colleges, teaching more than 20 different courses on topics ranging from electronics packaging, materials science, physics, mechanical engineering and science, and religion.

Dr. Lasky holds numerous patent disclosures and is the developer of several SMT processing software products relating to cost estimating, line balancing, and process optimization, all subjects of paramount importance in today’s hyper-competitive environment. He is the co-creator of engineering certification exams that set standards in the electronics assembly industry worldwide. Dr. Lasky was awarded the Surface Mount Technology Association’s (SMTA) Technical Distinction Award in 2021 for his “significant and continuing technical contributions to the SMTA.” He was also awarded SMTA’s Founder’s Award in 2003.

Dr. Lasky holds four degrees, including a Ph.D. from Cornell University in materials science, and is a licensed professional engineer.

He has authored six books, and contributed to nine more, on science, electronics, and optoelectronics, and has authored numerous technical papers and today, I’m going to talk with Ron about some of those books.

Here’s how to get Dr. Ron’s books:
