CR181: Reimagining Maintenance and Reliability at The Mainstream UK Summit 2025

CR181: Reimagining Maintenance and Reliability at The Mainstream UK Summit 2025

Reimagining Maintenance and Reliability at The Mainstream UK Summit 2025

The Mainstream UK Summit is coming to Birmingham, England!

This episode features Steve Morris of the Mainstream Community, discussing the power of community learning, practical problem-solving, and a human-centric approach to maintenance and reliability. With the upcoming Mainstream UK Summit as a backdrop, the conversation emphasizes the importance of reimagining maintenance and reliability by focusing on people, shared knowledge, and core fundamentals.

Mainstream Community supports professionals through learning, advisory boards, and summits. A people-first mindset—technology is a tool, not the focus.

CR180: CMMS Friend or Foe with Maintenance Industry Veteran Joel Levitt

CR180: CMMS Friend or Foe with Maintenance Industry Veteran Joel Levitt

CMMS Friend or Foe with Maintenance Industry Veteran Joel Levitt

What happens when you mix nearly five decades of maintenance experience with a sharp sense of humor and a passion for teaching? You get Joel Levitt—trainer, author, board member at Reliable, and the mind behind the comic book series “CMMS: Friend or Foe.”

In this episode of CMMSradio, we sit down with Joel to ask the real questions:

Why does CMMS still frustrate so many teams? Why do vendors overcomplicate simple problems? And what can we learn from a real-deal pro with 50 years in the industry?

Tune in and find out.

MMS isn’t just about software—it’s about people, processes, and how data actually gets used on the shop floor.

Joel’s comics are a fresh way to capture decades of lessons—and keep them alive for the next generation.

We also get into the promises (and perils) of AI in maintenance, and what we risk when we lose sight of the fundamentals.

Key points from the episode:

  • Humor helps address serious maintenance challenges.
  • CMMS struggles with data quality, interpretation, and trust.
  • Standardization resistance still holds many teams back.
  • AI may accelerate problems if fundamentals aren’t in place.
  • Storytelling tools like comics can improve knowledge retention.

Listen now and hear why Joel says, “The more things change in maintenance, the more they stay the same.”
