245 – The Role of Steering Committees in an M&R Implementation with Shon Isenhour

245 – The Role of Steering Committees in an M&R Implementation with Shon Isenhour

The Role of Steering Committees in an M&R Implementation with Shon Isenhour

We’re glad to have Shon Isenhour, a founding partner at Eruditio, back with us. He was heavily involved in maintenance and reliability, industry, consulting and finally started Eruditio. He’ll help us know more about the role of a steering committee in maintenance and reliability implementations. That’s because many companies struggle with getting leadership and the lower levels of the organization on board. A steering committee is there to help with that change and implementation, but it’s often overlooked.

This episode focuses on:

  • What is the Steering Committee?
    Who and which roles should be on the Steering Committee?
    How do we manage competing interests in the Steering Committee?

… and so much more!

Is Testing The Only Way to Confirm Reliability

Abstract

Chris and Fred discuss how we confirm the reliability of something we are making. Or maintaining. Or managing. This is in response to someone raising a question regarding reliability allocation – based on an Accendo webinar. And the question was all about working out how to test that we are on track to meet goals allocated to subsystems and components. So what do we do? Well listen to this podcast!

Three Approaches to Accelerated Life Testing

Three Approaches to Accelerated Life Testing

Three Approaches to Accelerated Life Testing

podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg

We can make a guess, some assumptions, or conduct an experiment. In fact, we use engineering judgment, and prudent assumptions to create our experiments that lead to understanding time to failure information. Accelerated life testing, ALT, is one of the most complex and important types of experiments we conduct. It involves samples, failure mechanisms, stress, measurements, and statistics. [Read more…]

A Conversation with CMOS Inventor Dr. Eric Fossom

Episode 59: My guest, Eric Fossum is best known for the invention of the CMOS image sensor better known as the “camera-on-a-chip” used in billions of cameras, from smart phones to web cameras to ingestible pill cameras to DSLRs. 

In 2017, Eric was a co-recipient of the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering, the world’s top engineering prize (and considered by many as equivalent to the Nobel Prize) for the invention of digital imaging sensors. 

Eric was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame and is member of the National Academy of Engineering. He is a solid-state image sensor device physicist and engineer, and his career has included academic and government research, and entrepreneurial leadership of several startups. He is the John H. Krehbiel Sr. Professor of Emerging Technologies at the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth college. Eric also serves as Associate Provost of Dartmouth College for Entrepreneurship and Technology Transfer, and directs Dartmouth’s PhD Innovation Programs.

Eric recently co-founded another startup with his former students, Gigajot Technology, Inc.

SOR 614 ‘Why’ Leadership

SOR 614 ‘Why’ Leadership

‘Why’ Leadership

Abstract

Chris and Fred discuss ‘why’ leadership. Not why leadership is important (we know it is). But the sort of leadership that focuses on the ‘why’ of an organization or group of people. ‘Why’ people who work at these organizations get out of bed in the morning. ‘Why’ customers purchase products or services from an organization. And if we get the ‘why’ right … everything becomes a lot easier. Especially reliability.
