SMRP 03 – Rules of Thumb in Reliability
Rules of Thumb in Reliability
Reliability is a procedural science at its core. This simply means that it is guided by a discipline to follow the set procedure and incrementally improve. As human beings, we tend to have a slight weakness in strict adherence to procedures. Sometimes with reliability, it is usually a result of not having the fundamentals down that we end up with inconsistent operations. Ricky Smith, a renowned reliability expert shared nuggets of wisdom from his seasoned experiences. ᐅ Play Episode

RM 026 – An Interview with Ventec’s Technology Ambassador Alun Morgan
An Interview with Ventec’s Technology Ambassador Alun Morgan
My guest today is Alun Morgan, he is a Technology Ambassador at Ventec International Group.
Our conversation today is all about cars, and the increased reliability expectations associated with their electrical systems. The electronics in modern vehicles provide an unpresented level of safety, not just for the driver, but for those people and objects around the vehicle. Because our cars go in and out of harsh environments, the circuit assemblies within the car are subjected toheat, humidity (and other sources of moisture), which contribute to reliability and therefore safety.
We’ll discuss one of the primary failure mechanisms of circuit assemblies, an issue that can affect the operation of the safety systems within the automobile, it’s a real issue that for many is not well known.
I spoke with Alun from his office in Scotland.

180-Work-order Management with John Reeve
Work-order Management with John Reeve
Work-order management is the key for successful asset management programs. It is usually incorporated in the CMMS in its designing stages to obtain knowledgeable information out of the system. It can be defined as the process of tracking of all the maintenance activities from initiation to completion. Work orders are used to keep record of every task that is being carried in the facility. It can be planned—when you have bigger jobs to perform such as condition-based monitoring—or it can be unplanned in case of small corrective actions of simple fixes.
In this episode, we covered:
- What role does Work-order management play in asset management programs?
- Why are planned work orders a good idea when there are complicated tasks to be carried out?
- How can you save money even if you don’t have a formal work-order management process in place?
- And much more!

SMRP 01 – Role of Data in Reliability
Role of Data in Reliability
With the advent of Industry 4.0, data and connectivity have enabled equipment to become continuous factories of data. Whether process data, master data or realtime data, it has never been a more challenging time to adjust and harness the power of seemingly huge piles of potential information. Traditional maintenance and reliability are undergoing a tremendous shift as organizations become more data-driven. Sean Rosier and Nathanael Ince of PinnacleART are on the show to help us put in context, the relevance of data in reliability.

Maintenance Perfection with Joe
It’s hard to hear someone talk about maintenance without mentioning reliability, or the other way around. While these terms are similar, they are not the same. In this episode, Joe Lonjin of Cohesive Solutions helps us get a better picture of how these two practices are different, and how to create harmony between them. ᐅ Play Episode

179-Risk-Based Asset Criticality with Suzane Greeman
Risk-Based Asset Criticality with Suzane Greeman
Asset criticality plays a huge role in asset management. It is the ranking of assets depending upon the importance of every asset to the organization. When we talk about assessing that asset criticality, it means that we are determining that importance level of the assets within a particular organization. Once you know the criticality of each of your assets, you will be able to devise a methodology for risk based management of those assets. As it is a risk based process, everything related to that asset especially its history is very important for assessing the risk to that asset.
In this episode, we covered:
- What role does Asset Criticality play in asset management?
- What should we do once asset criticality is determined?
- What is value based asses determination?
- And much more!
SOR 464 The Gist of Reliability
The Gist of Reliability
Abstract
Chris and Fred discuss the ‘gist’ of reliability. Fred was recently asked to be part of a panel to a number ‘hardware startups’ and was asked … what is the ‘gist’ of reliability? We try and answer that question as simply as possible in this podcast. The thing is … reliability will happen. Ignoring it doesn’t mean it won’t happen. Reliability is an outcome of your decisions and the design choices you make. The harder you work on it, the closer reliability will be to what you expect. So do you want to learn what the ‘gist’ of reliability is? Well, listen to this podcast.

SOR 463 What is an Outlier?
What is an Outlier?
Abstract
Chris and Fred discuss the concept of an ‘outlier.’ Depending on the definition, an outlier is something that is different, non-representative or somehow separate from the ‘main body’ of something. We often use the term ‘outlier’ when it comes to statistical analysis of something – specifically when we see something that is beyond what we expect to see. So what do we do with ‘outliers’ … particularly when it comes to reliability analysis? It may be tempting to exclude them (particularly if it makes the outcome of your analysis ‘better’!). We have not seen the exclusion of ‘outliers’ have a happy ending when it comes to reliability. Would you like to learn more? Listen to this podcast!
