QDD 001 How to Choose the Right Improvement Model

QDD 001 How to Choose the Right Improvement Model

QDD 001 How to Choose the Right Improvement Model

You have a design you want to make better. Or you’re working within a designing framework that you think needs to be updated. Quality folks use and promote some standard problem solving and continuous improvement methods, and you’ll want to get started with the right one, or reference the right acronym when getting buy-in for your project.

You may have heard of PDCA, PDSA, and DMAIC. You vaguely know these represent improvement processes, but don’t really know what their differences are. When should you use which one, and for what? [Read more…]

MD 153 IoT Enabled Connected Breather with Roy Giorgio from Des-Case

MD 153 IoT Enabled Connected Breather with Roy Giorgio from Des-Case

MD 153 IoT Enabled Connected Breather with Roy Giorgio from Des-Case

Unlike any breather on the market, The Des-Case Connected Breather has eliminated the subjectivity of color-changing desiccant media, allowing you to know the exact moment your breather is fully spent and should be replaced. Sensors inside the breather provides a precise digital reading of remaining breather life, saturation direction and breather temperature so the breather is never replaced too early or left on an unprotected asset.

In this week’s episode on the Technology Innovation series of Maintenance Disrupted,  Blair Fraser talks with Roy Giorgio from Des-Case about a very important but often overlooked aspect of rotating equipment life by ensuring your lubricants are protected from harmful moisture and particulates with breathers. But can these seemingly simple devices become smarter? Yes, with the addition of key moisture, temperature, and battery sensors you can maximize the life of the breather and gain insights into your equipment health that was previously, not available.

257 – Reliability Misconceptions with Fred Schenkelberg

257 – Reliability Misconceptions with Fred Schenkelberg

Reliability Misconceptions with Fred Schenkelberg

Welcome Fred to today’s episode. Our topic will be the misconceptions surrounding reliability. What is reliability?

The English dictionary defines reliability as the characteristic of trustworthiness or being able to adhere to a schedule and deliver as needed.

On the other hand, reliability in engineering encompasses functionality, probability of success, duration of continued delivery of that success, and work environment.

Fred will give us insight on:

  • What is implementing reliability?
  • What is the disconnect between all these activities (tools) and decision making?
  • So does it require understanding the data and engaging the people?

… and so much more!

256 – Learning Communities with Ryan Chan

256 – Learning Communities with Ryan Chan

Learning Communities with Ryan Chan

It is my pleasure to welcome Ryan Chan who is the founder of Upkeep. Ryan has done a lot of work in building online maintenance communities..

He went to University of California Berkeley and graduated as a chemical engineer. His first job was at a manufacturing company where he noticed several opportunities for improvement in the technology that was being utilized at the time.

These gaps gave me the idea to build a software that could:

  • Assist maintenance engineers and facility managers
  • Improve workforce collaboration
  • Improve parts inventory management
  • And improve overall asset management

MD 151 Unlocking the value of Digital Transformation with a Unified Namespace

MD 151 Unlocking the value of Digital Transformation with a Unified Namespace

MD 151 Unlocking the value of Digital Transformation with a Unified Namespace

Scaling of Industrial IoT solutions requires a Unified Namespace, which acts as a centralized repository of data, information, and context where any application or device can consume or publish data needed for a specific action. A place where everything is a node within an ecosystem

Best described as “What one node knows, all nodes know”

If a Unified Namespace is so important, why do most of us not know what the heck it is and how to achieve it?

In this week’s episode, we talk about the concept of a Unified Namespace strategy early in our Digital Transformation journey to ensure the full potential of your investment and that it can scale. I am pleased to welcome David Shultz of G5 Consulting to discuss architecting a digital transformation solution.

MD 150 Allyson Hawley – Hazard Girl – Bonus Episode

MD 150 Allyson Hawley – Hazard Girl – Bonus Episode

Brought up in a mining family that had no time for gender stereotypes, Allyson Hawley, our guest on today’s show, was surprised when she began her mechanical engineering degree with hardly any fellow women students. Throughout her career in the male-dominated mining industry, Allyson has received a lot of support but has also experienced a lot of subtle and not-so-subtle discrimination based on the fact that she is a woman. As she explains, sometimes it’s difficult to identify discrimination, which is why it is so important to find a community that has your back. Allyson also shares the ways in which men in these fields can contribute to eradicating the issue of gender discrimination. We discuss how Allyson’s company is working towards increasing gender diversity in STEM fields, changes she has seen take place in her industry over the years, her take on the hiring process, and her thoughts about what it takes to create a sustainable future. Emily is joined by Blair Fraser and Charli K. Matthews as co-hosts and the combination of perspectives makes for an eye-opening discussion!
