Join us #reliabilitygang on a journey to operational excellence with our latest episode, where you'll discover the secrets to forging a robust reliability strategy. We delve into the nuances of gap analysis, the creation of a dynamic reliability roadmap, and the instrumental role of data in pinpointing your organization's needs. We guarantee you'll walk away with a clearer vision and the practical tools needed to elevate your maintenance practices. This week's discussion isn't just about the what, but the how, as we share invaluable insights into implementing a reliable asset management strategy. Learn to build an effective asset list, appreciate the importance of a standardized coding system, and the transformative power of education in establishing consistency in asset naming. Aligning with ISO standards becomes less intimidating and more accessible as we break down the steps to remove bias from your reliability engineering efforts. Finally, we unravel the intricacies of maintenance management systems and the criticality assessment of assets, involving every department to reshape your priorities and ensure a holistic approach to plant operations. Discover how to harness the power of FMECA, Pareto analysis, and opportunity rankings to not just revolutionize asset management but to create a maintenance strategy that's as resilient as it is efficient. Join us for this strategic conversation, and understand why our listeners continue to make us a part of their reliability journey. Support the show

Hi #reliabilitygang ! Welcome to a brand new series called the Reliability Roadmap Series, this series focusses on the stages of the roadmap step by step to escape the reactive maintenance cycle. The first episode is the most important part of any journey, its about getting the buy in from all parties involved that allows the next steps to be effective. This is why the culture is so important as it is the basis of how our mindset and perception needs to change to adopt new techniques that may be very different to what has been done in the past. This week's candid conversation wades into the intricate dance of change management and communication. We trade insights on how to gradually introduce the concept of reliability to staff, championing incremental change to ensure a solid foundation of support. Dive into our personal takeaways from a DISC workshop, where we learned the art of tailoring dialogue to resonate with every unique communication style—because, at the end of the day, how you convey change can be just as pivotal as the change itself. We wrap up by highlighting the pivotal role of training and support in cultivating a rock-solid reliability foundation within organisations. Every organization needs its champions, and we stress the value of in-house heroes who can steer the ship away from the stormy seas of reactive maintenance. With a nod to the dedicated reliability engineers and the clear-cut roles they play, we share how to create a robust framework for impactful change. So, as we gear up for our next stage—strategy—we invite you to join us in not just learning but living reliability culture. Here's to a week of taking strides in the right direction!

Step into the realm of proactive machinery care with the #reliabilitygang as we reveal how condition-based maintenance strategies can revolutionise the way you approach maintenance. Unlock the power of letting your equipment's condition prompt maintenance actions, mitigating the risk of 'infant mortality' in new parts and steering clear of the pitfalls inherent in traditional preventative practices. Our conversation is rich with insight on the unpredictable nature of failure modes—bearings being a prime example—showcasing the necessity of vigilant monitoring to ensure longevity and reliability in your machinery. Will Crane and Will Ocean talks about the dance of vibration analysis and ultrasound monitoring. We dissect the complexities of machine 'heartbeats,' learning to interpret these vital signs accurately with the different technologies available and how to use them with precision for measuring different parameters . Our discourse isn't complete without delving into the heat of things; thermal imaging stands as a pillar of our discussion, where we unpack the nuances of emissivity values essential for precise temperature assessments. Armed with a multitude of monitoring strategies, from oil sampling to motor current testing, this episode is your guide to a comprehensive approach to fault detection and the maintenance of industrial equipment. Join us for a deep dive into the technologies that maintain the pulse of our machines. Support the show
