211-Fleet Maintenance Software vs CMMS with Sean Eckersley

211-Fleet Maintenance Software vs CMMS with Sean Eckersley

Fleet Maintenance Software vs CMMS with Sean Eckersley

Sean Eckersley from Assetminder is today’s guest. He’s talking about fleet maintenance software versus the use of traditional CMMS’s.

Various assets can have different maintenance schedules. Fleet software is like CMMS but focuses on fleets of vehicles. These include trucks, trailers, and even plant machinery. A Computerized Maintenance Management System, or CMMS, focuses on assets like manufacturing equipment.

We will tackle:

  • Differences between a fleet software and CMMS
  • How does a CMMS fail to support fleets
  • Can you also add third-party vendors into the system
  • And much more!

SOR 548 Leaders, Champions, and Managers

SOR 548 Leaders, Champions, and Managers

Leaders, Champions, and Managers

Abstract

Chris and Fred discuss what a leader, champion and manager are. Many textbooks, guidebooks and so-called ‘domain experts’ tell us what (for example) a ‘reliability leader’ is. In some cases the ‘reliability leader’ is someone who has little influence, and is more of an ad hoc ‘doer.’ Not a leader. Why is this? Listen to this podcast to hear more about this?

SOR 547 When and Why Around Assumptions

SOR 547 When and Why Around Assumptions

When and Why Around Assumptions

Abstract

Chris and Fred discuss assumptions – and when you need to check if they are valid. And if you do need to … how do you check these assumptions? Reliability (and all sorts of other engineers) need to study variation and variance. We are often interested in when the first ‘5 percent’ of things will fail. So assumptions on the underlying failure (or random) process are crucial. Sound familiar? Listen to this podcast to learn more.
