112 – Root Cause Analysis with Shon Isenhour

112 – Root Cause Analysis with Shon Isenhour

Root Cause Analysis with Shon Isenhour

When you deal with machines on daily basis, machine failures are bound to happen. But what if these failures keep occurring? Wouldn’t you get tired and want a solution for these problems? This is why root cause analysis is so important in an organization. The basic idea of RCA is to know the reason behind the occurrence of a failure and then finding a solution to reduce a risk—certain or uncertain—in a cost-effective manner. You can’t just rely on a single approach all the time because it might not be applicable to your problem.

Ultrasound Condition Monitoring with Adrian Messer

There are certain things in the reliability and maintenance industry that are made easier with the help of technology. Condition monitoring is one of those processes that is effective due to the use of ultrasound technology. Usually, the ultrasound is used to clean different machine parts using high frequency powered waves. The type that is used in the maintenance industry makes it far more efficient when it comes to listening to the sound of the machines. They are constantly monitoring a machine to listen for any weird sounds that are the indication of a future failure.

Laws of Leadership with Bill Leahy

Leadership is a very strong concept. It is unique to everyone. So how do you understand leadership? Well, different people have a different understanding of the word ‘leadership’. This is because we have our own unique perspectives. Every person has his own skills and is working in different fields of everyday life. These people can be leaders in their own way. It doesn’t matter if you are working in the office or just leading a teenage life. Once you realize that you are a leader, then you start showing abilities of one. But there are some laws that you can use to govern better leadership.

Top 10 Machinery Installation Issues with John Lambert

When you are installing a new machinery in a facility of the organization, there are certain issues. These issues are listed from top to the bottom categorized on the basis of seriousness. The top of the list is shaft alignment. It is the most common issue while installing the machinery. It occurs due to lack training or of precision instruments, as well as measurement misconceptions. Most organizations think they have achieved alignment just because an instrument showed so. They don’t take the stress and heating mechanisms into account which causes misalignment between the collinear wings of the shaft.

108 – Maintenance Engineer vs Reliability Engineer with Shon Isenhour

Maintenance Engineer vs Reliability Engineer with Shon Isenhour

In the maintenance and reliability industry, we have maintenance engineers, manufacturing engineers, and reliability engineers. There is a little bit difference between the types. A maintenance engineer is there to make sure the equipment is in running condition as soon as possible once a failure occurs. He has to get the asset operational the quickest possible time. He performs day to day routine checks to make sure the asset is running without defects. He does precision maintenance and promotes industry best practices. He is responsible for checking alignment, balancing, and other technical effects that might be overlooked by others.
