SMRP 01 – Role of Data in Reliability
Role of Data in Reliability
With the advent of Industry 4.0, data and connectivity have enabled equipment to become continuous factories of data. Whether process data, master data or realtime data, it has never been a more challenging time to adjust and harness the power of seemingly huge piles of potential information. Traditional maintenance and reliability are undergoing a tremendous shift as organizations become more data-driven. Sean Rosier and Nathanael Ince of PinnacleART are on the show to help us put in context, the relevance of data in reliability.

Maintenance Perfection with Joe
It’s hard to hear someone talk about maintenance without mentioning reliability, or the other way around. While these terms are similar, they are not the same. In this episode, Joe Lonjin of Cohesive Solutions helps us get a better picture of how these two practices are different, and how to create harmony between them. ᐅ Play Episode

179-Risk-Based Asset Criticality with Suzane Greeman
Risk-Based Asset Criticality with Suzane Greeman
Asset criticality plays a huge role in asset management. It is the ranking of assets depending upon the importance of every asset to the organization. When we talk about assessing that asset criticality, it means that we are determining that importance level of the assets within a particular organization. Once you know the criticality of each of your assets, you will be able to devise a methodology for risk based management of those assets. As it is a risk based process, everything related to that asset especially its history is very important for assessing the risk to that asset.
In this episode, we covered:
- What role does Asset Criticality play in asset management?
- What should we do once asset criticality is determined?
- What is value based asses determination?
- And much more!
SOR 464 The Gist of Reliability
The Gist of Reliability
Abstract
Chris and Fred discuss the ‘gist’ of reliability. Fred was recently asked to be part of a panel to a number ‘hardware startups’ and was asked … what is the ‘gist’ of reliability? We try and answer that question as simply as possible in this podcast. The thing is … reliability will happen. Ignoring it doesn’t mean it won’t happen. Reliability is an outcome of your decisions and the design choices you make. The harder you work on it, the closer reliability will be to what you expect. So do you want to learn what the ‘gist’ of reliability is? Well, listen to this podcast.

SOR 463 What is an Outlier?
What is an Outlier?
Abstract
Chris and Fred discuss the concept of an ‘outlier.’ Depending on the definition, an outlier is something that is different, non-representative or somehow separate from the ‘main body’ of something. We often use the term ‘outlier’ when it comes to statistical analysis of something – specifically when we see something that is beyond what we expect to see. So what do we do with ‘outliers’ … particularly when it comes to reliability analysis? It may be tempting to exclude them (particularly if it makes the outcome of your analysis ‘better’!). We have not seen the exclusion of ‘outliers’ have a happy ending when it comes to reliability. Would you like to learn more? Listen to this podcast!

178-Risk with David Albrice
Risk with David Albrice
While doing asset management, the organizations are always keen to balance the outcomes between performance, cost, and risk. Risk is a huge part of asset management programs and can be defined as the uncertainty that an organizations faces to achieve its objectives. There are lot of things happening in an organization, so there are a lot of uncertainties all around. With innovation and growth opportunities, comes the risk as well. The risk is mostly considered in terms of negative experiences but it can lead to positive experiences too. Whenever you take a risk, there’s always a chance that things could go either way.
In this episode, we covered:
- Why is risk a huge part of asset management programs?
- Why is it important to manage risk with optimized trade-offs?
- What are the risk types and how can we manage them effectively?
- And much more!
