Reliability Hero Podcast

Hosted by Andrew Daddo, the Reliability Hero podcast is brought to you by the MAINSTREAM Community. We’ll have conversations with maintenance and reliability practitioners. Whether you take Iron Ore out of the ground, keep Power plants running, or fix Aeroplanes, Trains, Conveyor Belts, or Turbines – few things excite YOU more than making equipment and machines do more than they were ever designed to do – faster, safer, longer, and more efficiently. Let’s just say that YOU are keeping economies moving!

RH002: Cliff Williams | Good Maintenance is about Good People and Good Culture

RH002: Cliff Williams | Good Maintenance is about Good People and Good Culture

Cliff Williams | Good Maintenance is about Good People and Good Culture

Cliff Williams is a highly regarded Maintenance thought leader, and most recently – the Corporate Maintenance Manager at Erco Chemicals.  According to Cliff, the greatest maintenance and reliability challenge remains the same: Leadership, People and so Culture!

From apprentice to the ‘exalted’ position of corporate maintenance manager and every step in between Cliff has a confession to make. “The machinery I have met along the way, whilst impressive, has been forgetable. The people I have met …. well – the good the bad and I’m sorry to say the ugly, are what I remember. They are the ones who made my life interesting, rewarding and from a career perspective, successful”.

As we talk about the techniques and tools available to maintenance managers, let’s not forget the best two – the human brain and human initiative. Cliff  firmly believes if you can cultivate those two – the rest is easy.
