RM 187: Readiness Through Repair: How the U.S. Military is Strengthening Capabilities with Right to Repair

Readiness Through Repair: How the U.S. Military is Strengthening Capabilities with Right to Repair

If a $26,000 drone repair can be done in the field—but policy says it has to be shipped back to the manufacturer, do you really have a reliability problem… or a repair access problem?

Today on the show, I’m joined by William Santos, International Sales Manager at ABI Electronics and a global advocate for the Right to Repair movement.

William recently wrote a compelling article titled “Readiness Through Repair: How the U.S. Military is Strengthening Capabilities with Right to Repair,” where he explores how repair access—or the lack of it—directly impacts mission readiness, lifecycle cost, and operational resilience within the U.S. military.
For decades, highly trained military technicians have been prevented from repairing mission-critical equipment due to restricted access to diagnostic tools, software, and spare parts. That model is now being challenged.

In April 2024, the U.S. Army announced plans to embed Right-to-Repair provisions into both new and existing contracts—a major shift with enormous implications for reliability, sustainment, and cost control.

Today, we’ll unpack what this policy change really means, why repair capability is inseparable from readiness, and what lessons commercial industry can learn from the military’s pivot toward repair empowerment.

SOR 1151 Why Your Product Requirements are Slipping (and How to Fix Them)

SOR 1151 Why Your Product Requirements are Slipping (and How to Fix Them)

Why Your Product Requirements are Slipping (and How to Fix Them)

Abstract

Mojan and Dianna explore the often-murky transition from vague product “needs” to actionable engineering requirements. They discuss where the communication gap typically develops between product management and engineering and how to close it using tools like System and Concept FMEAs. By defining failure as the “loss of key characteristics,” teams can better understand customer impact and “lift the fog” of ambiguity early in the design process.

CR162: Get Your House in Order Before CMMS Deployment with Joe Anderson on CMMSradio

CR162: Get Your House in Order Before CMMS Deployment with Joe Anderson on CMMSradio

Get Your House in Order Before CMMS Deployment with Joe Anderson on CMMSradio

Joe Anderson returns to CMMSradio to dissect the real keys to CMMS implementation success. He emphasizes that leadership, team buy-in, and cultural alignment outweigh any software feature. Drawing from hard-earned lessons and case studies, he lays out a practical, no-nonsense blueprint: from training and data cleanup to PM planning and asset hierarchy. AI may be buzzy, but Joe argues it’s culture and discipline that move the needle.

Key Bullet Points:

  • CMMS success depends on leadership, culture, and team buy-in — not just the tool.
  • Admins must be well-trained to lead coaching and involve operators early.
  • Data migration should focus on clean, relevant legacy data and solid PM foundations.
  • AI in CMMS is overhyped; disciplined culture and sound data come first.

Reliability in Motion: Ed Welch’s Journey Through Toyota

In this episode of Reliability Hero, host Andrew Daddo interviews Ed Welch, an adjunct instructor at the University of Kentucky and former engineering and maintenance manager at Toyota. Welch shares his journey from being laid off during the oil and gas crisis to his transformative career at Toyota. He discusses the cultural shift he experienced, moving from a ‘me first’ American mindset to Toyota’s team-first, consensus-driven Japanese approach. Key topics include the importance of continuous improvement, developing a ‘Kaizen eye’ for inefficiencies, the role of maintenance in modern industry, and fostering a cooperative work environment. Welsh’s insights highlight that maintenance is not just about machines, but also about people and culture.

CR161:  The AI Hype Train Derailed CMMSradio Live Panel at MCL Houston TX 2025

The AI Hype Train Derailed CMMSradio Live Panel at MCL Houston TX 2025

This episode is loaded with gold!  A real, raw, and unscripted on-stage event with two heavy-hitters in the maintenance industry.

We’re joined on stage, by Howard Penrose (MotorDoc) and Kevin Clark (Nanoprecise), at the recent Mobius Connect Live tour kickoff in Houston TX on April 7, 2025!

It goes back to 1954 – Artificial intelligence, oops we mean Machine Learning, goes back that far and now it is a hype train like no other!  Get ready for a wild ride through the buzzwords and related technologies, like sensor monitoring and how not to mount sensors!  We get a little CMMS in there.  This is all to get a real view on how this tuff works – Where it does, and does not, make an impact on the outcomes.

We talk about drift (AI Drift), hallucination, and more!  Set it and forget it is NOT a thing!  All of our people, process, and technology needs to itself be maintained!  Load in your comments to keep this conversation going!  Let’s gather, preserve, and pass on this tribal knowledge.  It is not about agreeing or disagreeing – we want to get everyone thinking, critically, about all of these technologies and always remembering the basics and foundational elements will serve us well to better leverage technology.  Share this with your network.

CR160: The Predictive Monitor Journey – Built, Merged, Reclaimed – with John and Laurie Masiello

The Predictive Monitor Journey – Built, Merged, Reclaimed – with John and Laurie Masiello

John & Laurie Masiello from Predictive Monitor join CMMSradio to share their incredible journey—from building MASY from the ground up to reclaiming a powerful predictive technology the industry almost lost. This episode is about grit, innovation, and refusing to settle for “good enough.” If you’re in life sciences, maintenance, or care about uptime in GMP environments… this one’s for you.

Key Takeaways:

  • Built from the ground up: From machining parts in the basement to running one of the most respected names in validation and calibration (MASY).
  • Predictive Monitor was born from belief: After a merger deprioritized it, John & Laurie bought it back and brought it to life.
  • Overshield is the game-changer: Smart predictive alerts shift maintenance from reactive chaos to proactive wins.
  • Excellence through culture: Passionate people + continuous improvement = their leadership formula.
  • Why “good enough” isn’t in their vocabulary: They set the bar—and keep raising it—for the entire industry.

Connect with Predictive Monitor https://www.predictivemonitor.com/ and ;let us know how it all works out! They’re serious about delivering results!!

Fundamentals of Supplier Reliability

Fundamentals of Supplier Reliability

Fundamentals of Supplier Reliability

podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg

Many products include items designed and manufactured by another company. Few is any make their own screws or capacitors found in their product. We rely on our suppliers to create items we can incorporate into our product offerings.

When a supplied item fails, say a power supply, the customer notices the product is not working, your product, not necessarily the faulty power supply. Your brand takes the hit and pays the price of the failure.

Let’s explore how to work with suppliers to ensure the supplied items will meet or exceed your reliability expectations. It’s not as simple as requiring a set of tests or warranty contracts; it is the relationship you build with the supplier and understanding the supplier’s reliability, maturity, and capability.

QDD 188: Constraints Unlock Creativity: Why Frameworks Beat Blank Slates in Product Concept Design

QDD 188: Constraints Unlock Creativity: Why Frameworks Beat Blank Slates in Product Concept Design

Constraints Unlock Creativity: Why Frameworks Beat Blank Slates in Product Concept Design

Too many product teams spend months chasing ideas that feel safe, generic, or simply “meh.” They brainstorm with no direction, leaving a blank canvas that overwhelms participants. Or they wait until a prototype is already built, causing “fixedness” where people can’t unsee the existing design. The result? Stagnant concepts, wasted time, and missed market opportunities.

In this episode, Dianna shows how the right frameworks act like a drum‑less track for a drummer: they provide structure, genre cues, and sections to focus on, yet leave the creative freedom to craft something new.

By applying the Goldilocks principle (neither too little nor too much guardrails) and using the Concept Space Model (inputs, process, outputs), teams can hit the sweet spot after business approval but before detailed design to generate high‑impact ideas that are both feasible and market‑loving.

You’ll walk away with a clear method to set up constrained‑creative sessions, concrete examples of how to map customer experiences into design inputs, and actionable steps to run your own framework‑driven brainstorming without it feeling like another status meeting.
