It’s my pleasure to welcome Thomas welcome back to the podcast.
In this episode we covered:
There is a rather large family of test methods associated with Qualitative Accelerated Tests. They’re also known as RETs (or Reliability Enhancement Tests).
Today, we’re focused on the models that are used to help us with the design. Awareness about these methods will help us with future test plans and project management. We talk about environmental stress testing and remind ourselves a little about HALT.
It’s my pleasure to welcome back Andrew Jordan to the podcast, the Managing Director and CEO of Extivity.
In this episode we covered:
In this episode Derek Scott, Director at Paragon Process Improvements, joins us to share his thoughts on where he sees quality as a discipline develop amid current technological changes, what will become increasingly important and who might be the leaders of the future.
We’re developing requirements for our product, including setting reliability requirements. Or we’re setting acceptance criteria for our test plans.
What confidence levels do we choose? We don’t have to blindly set them – we can base it off the risks of failure, using our FMEA (failure mode effects analysis).
You may have heard of Statistical Process Control (SPC), 6-sigma, Shewhart, the Japanese Economic Miracle, X̅ – R Charts … or perhaps none of them. So, if you have heard of these things (and are confused by them) or if you are involved in ‘processes’ (especially manufacturing), then this webinar might help you out. [Read more…]
It is my pleasure to welcome back Paul Daoust to the podcast.
In this episode we covered:
We’re starting to populate an FMEA table with our team. We get it started, but then we get stuck in disagreements. Or we think we finish it and then we don’t know what to do with it.
We can avoid these headaches with a little planning (or maybe a lot of planning – it depends on the project). We talk about risk management planning as it relates to FMEA.
It is my pleasure to welcome Jorg Albrecht to the podcast, the managing director of Heavy Technologies.

In this episode, I am joined by the mighty David Langer, who is the founder of Dave on Data, an education company focused on teaching the world the 20% of analytics that drive 80% of ROI. Having worked for companies such as Microsoft, Data Science Dojo and Schedulicity, Dave is considered a veteran in the data science and teaching space; what really makes him stand out from others is his unique and very effective approach to teaching. Get ready as Dave and I take you on an informative and fun chat about essential data analysis skills, R programming, Process Behavior Charts in non-manufacturing environments and other pieces of his great wisdom.
We talk about the 8D methodology, describe situations where we could benefit from it, list each of the 8 Disciplines, and compare it to PDSA and DMAIC.
It is my pleasure to welcome our panelists today, Eric Elder, Maureen Gribble, Jenna Johns, and Shon Isenhour.
In this episode we covered:
You may fondly, or most likely not fondly, remember your undergraduate course on probability and statistics. The calculations of various winning hands with card games were interesting and connected to the early ‘invention’ of probability and statistical methods. Yet, the jar with colored beads was rather boring. [Read more…]
In this episode of the Women in Maintenance Podcast, we have the Data Analyst and Program Manager Assistant at Wearcheck USA, Angela Borella, on the show! Angela started her career in maintenance and reliability as a technician in 1995 and has since then specialized in oil analysis and lubrication, assisting many organizations to reach a world-class lubrication design. Hear what Angela has to say about whether or not certifications or hands-on experience matters more in a maintenance and reliability role and learn about her journey throughout her career as a woman in the field.
