In this episode, I speak with Philip Sage about the MTBF (again), but with a focus on its indiscriminate use to describe electronic component failures.
Phil shares the history of its use and how it has become the de facto metric.
If you want to learn more about how to assess the Reliability of your Electronic components, then you should reach out to Phil through Linkedin or his website (https://mantua.group/).

In this episode, I speak with Philip Sage about organizations’ challenges with recording failure data and making the most of it, how this affects their ability to make data-driven decisions, and their inability to apply an Asset Management framework specific to their risk profile.
If you want to learn more about creating an Asset Management framework tailored to your needs reach out to Philip Sage through Linkedin.
If you want to learn more about the different distributions, feel free to ask me or Miguel, and we will be more than happy to help where we can.
So grab your hard hat and let’s break ground on some eye-opening conversations that can transform the way you think about reliability in mining.

In this episode, I speak with Cameron Wight about the importance of enabling maintainers to understand the decision-making process behind the maintenance they perform and why it is important to write the work instructions to allow correct execution and capture the correct level of information. Cameron also shares his experience in the defense, maritime, and communication industries.
In this episode, I speak with Philip Sage. Today, we’re diving into the murky waters of Mean Time Between Failures, or as some of us like to call it, ‘Maybe This’ll Be Fine’. We’ll uncover why relying on MTBF can sometimes be as risky as trusting your umbrella on a windy day. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with some solid alternatives that won’t leave you high and dry!
In this episode, I spoke with CMDR Simon Moore from the Royal Australian Navy and Truong Nguyen from Babcock. We discussed what drives a Reliability Culture in the Navy and how it can be improved. Additionally, we explore the differences between Maintenance and Reliability in the defense industry compared to Mining or Oil and Gas, and the starkly different consequences they entail

In this episode, I spoke with David and we chatted about the parallels across the commercial aviation and defense maritime industry. David shared his experience of what it was like working for an airline and what lessons can be adopted across the defense sector. We talk about the general population’s expectations and how the Airline Industry has been at the forefront of delivering world-class maintenance.
If you have a question for David, you can contact him via Linkedin.
In this episode, I speak to Grahame Paton who worked in the Royal Australian Navy for over 30 years and currently works as a Reliability Engineer. He shares his view as an Electronic Maintenance Technician on the importance of involving maintainers when making decisions on maintenance changes.
We also spoke about the wonderful life the Navy has to offer, and its pros and cons but as Grahame says he wouldn’t have it any other way and is very proud and happy that he served for 30 years.
If you want to get in touch with Grahame Paton, you can message him through Linkedin.
