Education and Training in Maintenance & Reliability with Shon Isenhour

This episode of the weekly podcast focuses on the education and training in maintenance and reliability. It is very important to practically implement the knowledge because that’s where you begin to develop skills and then you can improve those skills by continuously being a part of the applications in the field. The organizations like SMRP and eruditiollc.com help new people in the field of reliability by educating them first and then driving them to apply what they have learned. They help you whenever you need but they encourage the practice of self-driven learning because that is what helps you in the long run.

Creating an Effective Reliability Plan

Creating an Effective Reliability Plan

Creating an Effective Reliability Plan

Writing and executing effective reliability plans is a skill that is not often taught in reliability courses or seminars. It falls under the body of knowledge of reliability management, which is a different set of skills than reliability engineering. What is a Reliability Plan and how should it be developed? What do well-written reliability tasks look like? How detailed should tasks be described and how can they be written to support easy execution? How do you ensure that your Reliability Plan is successfully implemented to the desired results?

51 – The Reliability Improvement Journey with Jason Tranter

The Reliability Improvement Journey with Jason Tranter

This episode is about the reliability improvement journey of Jason Tranter who is currently the managing director—also the founder and owner—of Mobius Institute. He started his journey when vibration analysis was just in the early phase and organizations were keen to work on condition-based maintenance to have good productivity and improved availability. Reliability in the present times, depends heavily on the availability of the equipment and vibration analysis helps greatly in this endeavor to make your assets more dependable which ultimately improves reliability techniques of an organization. You want the systems to operate when you need them to operate and you make sure that they do so by improving reliability at different levels. This results in increased uptime, quality products leading to time and cost saving. The concept of reliability changes depending on the organizations but the main goal should always be to help the organizations achieve their objectives by taking measurements of running of equipment whenever needed.

50 – Root Cause Analysis Made Simple with Susan Lubell

Root Cause Analysis Made Simple with Susan Lubell

This episode of the rooted in reliability podcast covers the Root Cause Analysis in the light of a book written by Susan Lubell – the guest herself—and the book is part of the made simple series. In this book, Susan has covered a number of matrices that need to be answered very specifically and clearly based on the methodologies adopted by different organizations. This book doesn’t just focus on the terminologies and specific techniques that are used by the experts. It actually covers the very baselines of the RCA methods such as how to get started with the analysis and what to look for in order to successfully implement it. This book is more of a guide for those who want to start their journey in the field and can use a bunch of best practices that are used by the top-notch organizations in the industry. It’s not about the fault tree analysis or other techniques that are used to determine the root cause. It’s more about the people managing side of the Root Cause Analysis like why do you need to perform an RCA and what are the factors that drive it.
