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!

Bonus Episode-Planner Certification with Shon Isenhour

Bonus Episode-Planner Certification with Shon Isenhour

Planner Certification with Shon Isenhour

Behind a successful reliability program, there’s always a great plan for implementation. This is something that maintenance planners handle. They are the ones who create job plans, strategize those plans, and then develop procedures to implement them with success. The scope of a maintenance planner’s job is flexible, so there are different type roles that a planner or a planner and scheduler plays depending upon the type of the organization they are working for. Some of the maintenance planners receive proper training while the others just get into the process as they go along.

In this episode, we covered:

  • Why is a plan for implementation the key to a successful reliability program?
  • Why is consistent feedback important?
  • Why does planning and scheduling hold great organizational value?
  • And much more!

176-RCA Tips with Shon Isenhour

176-RCA Tips with Shon Isenhour

RCA Tips with Shon Isenhour

RCA is one of the most basic yet most important of the processes in a reliability program. RCA isn’t just about solving a problem or fixing an error in your system. It is more than just finding a single root causes. When a problem occurs, there can be more than one reasons why that occurred in the first place. RCA helps us reduce the risk of that problem to a level that is acceptable to the organization. It is always a systemic and latent approach that takes time and should be done more often rather than just doing it when a problem has already occurred.

In this episode, we covered:

  • Why is RCA on of the most important processes in a reliability program?
  • What is the best way to solve any problem?
  • Why is note taking a vital part of RCA?
  • And much more!

144 – Understanding Asset Hierarchy with Shon Isenhour and Brandon Weil

Understanding Asset Hierarchy with Shon Isenhour and Brandon Weil

Asset hierarchy is very important to utilize the limited resources of an organization in the best way possible. It helps manage time and cost by prioritizing our assets. That’s why every organization needs to have a hierarchy. There are a lot of standards out there to help you build an asset hierarchy. ISO 14224 helps greatly in the matter. It contains guidelines that a maintenance and reliability organization can use to define some sort of organized processes and procedures that are important to have in the facilities. When they have laid out a foundation that way, it gets easier to do all sorts of things.

In this episode, we covered:

  • What is Asset Hierarchy?
  • Why is the asset hierarchy needed?
  • How should an asset hierarchy be organized?
  • How to develop an asset hierarchy?
  • And much more!

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.

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.

Change Management and Your Maintenance Program with Shon Isenhour

This episode focuses on the change management and the impact that it can have on your maintenance program. So, what is change management? It occurs at different levels in the organizations but the most basic level—the people level—that makes the organizational culture needs to be tended first. It happens a lot that after the successful planning and scheduling, work execution seems to be fine in the short term but fails horribly in the long term because the change process was not addressed and handled properly at all the critical levels in the organizational framework. So, what things need to be addressed first?

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.

9 Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Next Maintenance Conference

How to Ensure Your Attendance at A Conference Delivers An ROI

As the kids go back to school, maintenance, reliability, and asset management professional resume their professional learning.  This learning usually takes place at one of the numerous world-class conferences available across North America and internationally.  These conferences allow professionals to observe and connect with the latest tools, technology, and techniques in our amazing profession.

Sometimes it is difficult for the maintenance, reliability, and asset management professionals to get the approval or funding to attend the conference. Some organizations look at these events as a week of vacation, where there is little to no value from attending the conference.  Changing this perception is not an easy task, but can be started by having an intention for the conference.

Should I Hire or Build an RE with Bill Leahy

I’m excited to have Bill Leahy with us for a deep dive into whether organizations should build an RE internally, or they should hire externally to fill those roles. Bill has worked at Eruditio for the past three years and is currently a senior instructor there.

Today, we’re tackling important points such as:

  • What an RE is
  • The educational and professional qualifications that an RE needs to have
  • The pros and cons of internal versus external hires
  • How to train candidates for the role
