I’m Kerina Epperly, CLSSMBB, Reliability & TPM Consultant, Lean Six Sigma Expert, and Tranformation Leader
I’m the founder of Master Reliability (www.masterreliability.com), a platform dedicated to making reliability simple, visual, and practical. With over 25 years of experience across multiple industries, I’ve seen firsthand how early detection, smart problem-solving, and a strong maintenance culture can transform equipment performance.
I’m an engineer with over 30 years of cross-industry experience, specializing in failure mode analysis, condition-based maintenance, and advanced diagnostic tools such as thermography, vibration, and ultrasound. My background spans photolighography, TPM, Lean Six Sigma, and predictive analytics. I help organizations prevent catastrophic failures by identifying root causes before they become breakdowns.

About Fedor House LLC – MasterReliability.com
At Master Reliability, I share training, case studies, and hands-on tools designed to help operators, engineers, and leaders spot the fingerprints of failure before breakdowns occur. One of the unique features of the site is our interactive visual tools that bring reliability concepts to life.
FRAME-D Case Studies | Master Reliability
FRAME-D FASTENER VIEWER | Master Reliability
FRAME-D COMPONENT FAULT VIEWER | Master Reliability
These viewers allow you to explore how components such as bearings, gears, and shafts fail, what the warning signs look like, and how to prevent future damage. By combining real-world visuals with preventive actions, they make failure modes easier to understand and apply on the job.
Whether it’s through online courses, interactive posters, failure progression case studies, or condition monitoring strategies, my mission is to provide practical, accessible resources that empower teams to reduce downtime, cut costs, and build sustainable reliability programs. Master Reliability is more than just fixing machines, it’s about giving people the knowledge and confidence to solve problems and prevent them in the first place.
Reliability Hero
Andrew is the host of the podcast Reliability Hero.
The show is produced by Ansumi De Bruin.
Hosted by Andrew Daddo, the Reliability Hero podcast is brought to you by the MAINSTREAM Community. We’ll have conversations with maintenance and reliability practitioners. Whether you take Iron Ore out of the ground, keep Power plants running, or fix Aeroplanes, Trains, Conveyor Belts, or Turbines – few things excite YOU more than making equipment and machines do more than they were ever designed to do – faster, safer, longer, and more efficiently. Let’s just say that YOU are keeping economies moving!
