148 – Leveraging Failure Data for Better Decision Making with John Reeve
Leveraging Failure Data for Better Decision Making with John Reeve
Failure data is very important for leaders to make effective and efficient decisions. That’s why they are always looking for industry best practices and new implementation techniques to understand failure codes and failure modes in a better way. The organizations always focus on understanding failure codes so that they can design their CMMS. They always configure their CMMS to better analyze the failure data. They have a process in place that allows them to run failure data against different fields based on the failure codes. Failure data must be synchronized to hold RCM analysis results. CMMS can be built in way that it perfectly serves the purpose.
In this episode, we covered:
- What is failure data?
- How can we get failure data out of the CMMS?
- What can we do with failure data?
- and much, much more!

As you will hear, Phil and Jim, while taking their customer’s problems seriously, don’t take themselves too seriously, which is one of the things I love about them.

SOR 399 Paths to Learning Reliability
Paths to Learning Reliability
Abstract
Chris and Fred discuss about how to learn to be a reliability engineer. And ‘learn’ means different things. It could be experiential learning. It could be academic learning. It could be instructional or ‘mentorship’ learning. And you tend to be a particular type of a reliability engineer based on how you learn about reliability. But there are pros and cons for each approach. And sometimes, you just ‘stumble’ into a learning process when a company sponsors you to become their expert. There are so many different ways to learn about reliability. This podcast talks about some of the more common ways, and how each tailors to a certain learning path.
