CR060: Skip The Shiny Technology to Focus Basic Fundamentals and What is Prescriptive Maintenance
Skip The Shiny Technology to Focus Basic Fundamentals and What is Prescriptive Maintenance
James Kovacevic returns as an expert guest on CMMSradio to discuss the pivotal role of mastering the basics in maintenance practices, particularly in achieving optimal Overall Equipment Effectiveness (#OEE) within the framework of Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (#CMMS). James stresses the importance of establishing a robust foundation, encompassing efficient work order management, spare parts optimization, and accurate asset hierarchy, before delving into advanced technologies like prescriptive maintenance.
Too often maintenance teams succumb to the allure of shiny new technologies, thinking it’s a magic silver bullet, without first ensuring the organization has the requisite data infrastructure and operational processes in place to succeed. Prioritizing the cultivation of a strong maintenance framework, and even stronger maintenance culture, aligned with overarching business objectives, and gradually integrating advanced tools such as prescriptive maintenance into the CMMS ecosystem, companies can bolster their OEE while sidestepping the pitfalls of hype-driven technology adoption!
Thank you, James, for joining us once again to help everyone on their CMMS journey with an eye toward maintenance and reliability best practices that make sense.
QDD 172: Uncovering Customer Desires: Understanding Benefits in Concept Development
Uncovering Customer Desires: Understanding Benefits in Concept Development
In product development, we often get caught up in the technical specifications and features we’re creating, forgetting the fundamental reason we’re building products in the first place: to provide benefits that improve users’ lives. This foundational concept of benefits versus features deserves revisiting regularly, especially when we’re deep in the weeds of development work.

What is Accelerated Life Testing (ALT)?
podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson
Well … it’s all in the name … isn’t it. Or is it? Do you know what the difference is between Highly Accelerated Life Testing or Accelerated Life Testing? Do you know what an ‘acceleration factor’ is? Do you know what a ‘failure mechanism’ is? If the answer is no … this webinar will help. Or perhaps you want to estimate the reliability of something that is supposed to last a long time, but don’t have a lot of time to test. Then this webinar can help. Or perhaps all this is good … but you’re scared of complicated equations. Again … this webinar can help!
