104 – What’s a Process Engineer with Fred Schenkelberg

What’s a Process Engineer with Fred Schenkelberg

The organizations that are more innovative and have a mark in the industry tend to do things that others don’t. So, what are those things and how do they do that? This is an area where process engineers play their role to increase the production and solve problems that come along the way. Sometimes they have to experiment using different chemicals, use the calculations, and use the recorded data to come up with processes that can increase the yield of a product without compromising the quality. Their job is to come up with the best ways to quantify product.

103 – Leadership with Bill Leahy

Leadership with Bill Leahy

If there are a couple of things that pops to mind when talking about leadership is that leaders are made not born and that all leaders shared the same set of qualities that make them as such (think about John C. Maxwell’s book “The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader”). These two statements seem to complement each other and reflect the general tone of today’s podcast episode.

Reliability with a Best Practice Organization with Heinz Bloch, Part 1 of 2

The leap towards becoming a best-in-class company is challenging. If you’re like most people, you might have wondered the difference between best in class companies and typical companies as far as reliability practices are concerned. While it’s true that there are other elements that are at play that make for a best-in-class company, one can’t deny that maintenance and reliability is one differentiating factor and a critical element at that.
