RiM 08: What is Weibull Distribution?

What is Weibull Distribution?

In this episode, I speak with Dane Boers and discuss Weibull distribution. He provides some great examples to explain the different parameters of Weibull distribution, the characteristic life, and the shape parameter. I never thought that it could be made simple! We also talk about how we can use the outputs from a Weibull Analysis i.e. the probability of failure, to prevent equipment downtime.

You can get in touch with Dane via LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/daneboers/) or send him an email at dane@modla.co

2021 posed many challenges but also presented opportunities to many of us. There is a lot of talk of 2021 being the year of the great resignation, and while this episode is not necessarily about that, I think we can definitely say that folks now have more choices as to their careers, whether it is changing jobs, starting a business or branching out and learning something new. Regardless of what your goals are, today’s episode has valuable advice in store for you, delivered by my guest by Anthony Carra, with whom I unpack the topic of Developing the Mindset of a Consultant (Regardless of Whether You Are One). Anthony is the Owner, Principal Consultant and Instructor at Business Improvement Group Consulting, and he is ready to share with us extremely valuable advice on how to develop and apply the mindset of a consultant, whether you are starting your own consulting business or trying to deliver value to your organization.

– Whether you are a consultant or employed full-time, treat it like it is your own business

– Why consultants sometimes get a “bad rap”

– You can either be and stay an SME in a particular thing or you need to “give away your SME” so you can move on to doing other things

RiM 07: Discrete Event Simulation and Risk Matrix

Discrete Event Simulation and Risk Matrix

In this episode, I speak with Andrew Kelleher, MD at RAMS Mentat GmbH on his take on the use of Risk Matrix and how he sees the benefit of not using one for making optimum decisions. We discuss the importance of performing simulation to assess the needs of a system and to determine appropriate maintenance and sparing strategies.

We trivialize complex issues when there are no formal tools and Andrew provides his perspective on how we approach these problems to create a solution based on Discrete Event Simulation.
