236 – Machinery Installation: Planning with Roman Megela
Machinery Installation: Planning with Roman Megela
It’s a pleasure to have Roman Megela from Easy-Laser join us on this deep dive into Machinery Installation. He’s worked with rotating equipment for over 20 years, particularly in service, installation, assembly, and commissioning for gas compression, glass production, and stainless steel. So far, we’ve looked into how strategy and integrity fall into the Machinery Installation process. We’ll now get a look into the role Planning plays in Machinery Installation.
Roman will give us insights on:
- What is Planning?
- Are there technical specifications for planning?
- How does Planning impact installation?
… and so much more!

Reliability Engineering and Risk Analysis
Reliability Engineering and Risk Analysis
podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg
Risk is uncertainty. Will this work? How will this item fail? Is it safe? Risk is not limited to product failure, including brand topics such as market acceptance, regulatory approval, supply chain stability, international conflicts, and more. Reliability engineering tends to focus on product failure to perform as expected, and we must fit into the large context of risks facing any product or system. [Read more…]

RM 055: A Conversation with SMTA President Dr. Martin Anselm
A Conversation with SMTA President Dr. Martin Anselm
My guest today is Dr. Martin Anselm. Martin is a professor at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and is also the newly elected President of the Surface Mount Technology Association or SMTA.
Martin also worked for Universal Instruments. During his 12 year career at Universal Instruments, Martin was, among other positions, a Process Research Engineer and Manager of Failure Analysis Services.
Martin completed his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering through Binghamton University. His research topic involved Copper Nickel Tin intermetallic formation kinetics on electroless Nickel substrates. Martin also completed a Masters of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Clarkson and an undergraduate degree in Physics from SUNY Geneseo.
235 – Preparing for the CMRP with Bobby Lee
Preparing for the CMRP with Bobby Lee
We’re excited to welcome Bobby Lee on this episode. He started in the maintenance field in his early twenties. He got a two-year degree in Industrial Systems Technologies, after which he worked at Baxter Healthcare. He then proceeded to work for American Zinc Products as a reliability engineer for nearly one and a half years. From there, he joined Eruditio where he’s currently a reliability engineer. During those years, Bobby got involved with implementing reliability engineering programs, FMEAs, RCAs, among others. He’s also managed to get his CMRP, which is what we’d like to know more about.
In this episode, we covered:
- What is the CMRP?
- Why would you want a CMRP certification?
- Other Benefits of having the CMRP
- And much more!
SOR 599 Better Performance not Just Fewer Failures
Better Performance not Just Fewer Failures
Abstract
Chris and Fred discuss what performance actually means. When it comes to reliability engineering … is this simply having fewer failures? NO! There is plenty more to reliability engineering than simply taking a ‘thing’ and simply making it work for longer. How can reliability engineering make more appealing, more functional, and less expensive products? Listen to this podcast for more!

Shane Turcott Author
Tim interviews Shane about his new book, “Decoding Mechanical Failure”, how physical evidence from a failed part can suggest specific kinds of failures, and situations where the data might point in one direction but the physical evidence point in a different direction.
SOR 598 Standards and Intent
Standards and Intent
Abstract
Chris and Fred discuss how we use standards for reliability engineering, safety, and other similar fields. Standards have a place in everything we do. But issues come when we stop thinking about the thing we are creating and rely on the standards to guide really important decisions. Why is this silly? Listen to the podcast!

234 – In-House or Contracted Oil Analysis with Bryan Johnson
In-House or Contracted Oil Analysis with Bryan Johnson
We’re thrilled to have the chairman of ICML, Bryan Johnson, with us. He’s worked at the Palo Verde Generating Station for 30 nearly years as a lubrication engineer. Bryan’s also involved with ASTM, starting about three decades ago. That was due to the creation of an on-site oil testing lab. This became a subcommittee that deals only with the condition monitoring of lubricants.
In this episode, we covered:
- What are the benefits of on-site oil analysis?
- How do you know you’re getting consistent results from an analysis?
- What are the standards to follow?
- And much more!
