QDD 025 Do you have SMART ACORN objectives?
Do you have SMART ACORN objectives?
Objectives are goalposts of what it is we’re trying to accomplish. Though they’re only a part of planning a project, if we don’t have well-defined and clear objectives, it could lead to us not having the stellar project results we want. Our objective should be a SMART ACORN. We review these two, complementing acronyms as ways to check that we’re setting up our project for success.
MD 185 Are We Overcomplicating Asset Criticality? With Paul Daoust from SCIO Asset Management
MD 185 Are We Overcomplicating Asset Criticality? With Paul Daoust from SCIO Asset Management
Are we doing a disservice when talking about asset criticality to include anything other than the consequence? In this week’s podcast, we welcome Paul Daoust from SCIO Asset Management to discuss how we always use asset criticality with another variable, and because of this, the use of likelihood of failure in the asset criticality process could be added work for very little value.

Reliability and Pumping Water
Abstract
Chris and Fred discussing service reliability based on a listener question where we don’t just look at reliability as it applies to an item, product or device. Instead … we look at ‘reliability of a service’ … or system, … or process. How can this help a farmer who is trying to work out how to best supply water to his cattle?

QDD 024 Why Look to Standards
Why Look to Standards
Standards are everywhere, and lots of organizations are sourcing and creating them. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission held a workshop 2019 that recently made the news, again, in July 2021. It was called “Nixing the Fix: a Workshop on Repair Restrictions”. Here’s what it’s about: manufacturers are not creating products with standard parts, or their design is created so its difficult for consumers to repair.
Are standards part of the answer? How can we proactively use them for design? Why should we?
Reliability Life Models
Reliability Life Models …
how do you describe your system dying?
podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson
OK … that is a little macabre. However, reliability engineers need to ask themselves this question a lot. And there are a lot of wrong answers out there. Some textbooks say that it is ‘commonly accepted’ to use this thing called the exponential distribution. Other books say that if the ‘Weibull shape parameter is 6 or greater … redesign!’ Do you have any idea what this means? If not, this webinar will be a nice little introduction for you!
