245 – The Role of Steering Committees in an M&R Implementation with Shon Isenhour

245 – The Role of Steering Committees in an M&R Implementation with Shon Isenhour

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!

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

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!

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.

57 – Change Management and Your Maintenance Program with Shon Isenhour

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.
