130 – The Link between Reliability and Safety with Ron Moore

130 – The Link between Reliability and Safety with Ron Moore

The Link between Reliability and Safety with Ron Moore

The link between reliability and safety cannot be overstated, especially since injuries to the technicians and engineers are very common mostly in manufacturing industries. These workplace injuries can have a severe impact on the organizational resources. Notwithstanding, there are still organizations that are not sold to the idea of creating a reliable plant. These organizations consider reliability as just a way to maintain the machines. What they fail to understand is that safety can only be achieved through reliability.

SOR 366 The Soyuz Rocket Failure and What We Can Learn

SOR 366 The Soyuz Rocket Failure and What We Can Learn

The Recent Soyuz Rocket Failure and What We Can Learn

Abstract

Chris and Fred discussing the recent Russian Soyuz rocket failure. With the retirement of NASA’s space shuttle fleet, the Soyuz rocket and spacecraft are now the only viable way to launch humans into space. The 1960s Soyuz rocket propels the 1960s Soyuz spacecraft into orbit … and to be clear it is only the rocket that failed. The Soyuz spacecraft successfully aborted the launch keep the crew safe. The Soyuz rocket has long been the yardstick of rocket safety – it easily has the most impressive reliability track record. But should this recent failure change that perception? And how can the Soyuz system still be operating when other programs have come and gone, primarily due to safety and reliability? This podcast attempts to answer some of these questions.

Enhancing Manufacturing with PdM with Saar Yoskovitz

There are organizations who have taken advantage of the new technologies like machine learning and methodologies such as data analytics. These have made it easier for reliability engineers to focus more on Predictive Maintenance rather than traditional maintenance and uptime increase. Now, the companies are growth-oriented and they want to enhance their manufacturing. They are practicing Predictive maintenance on a much wider scale. What they do is that they take machine data from the sensors, analyze it, and then catch a failure before it starts to develop. By doing this, they are able to mitigate an issue before it can cause any damage to an asset.

128 – How to Deal with the Top 5 Most Frequent Pump Failures with Heinz Bloch

128 – How to Deal with the Top 5 Most Frequent Pump Failures with Heinz Bloch

How to Deal with the Top 5 Most Frequent Pump Failures with Heinz Bloch

In the first part of this podcast episode, we covered the state of pumps in facilities and process industries and the top 5 pump failures and their causes. What’s the best way to deal with these? Is it proper design specifications, proper engineering upfront? Is it a maintenance program? Or is it a combination of the two? In this second and last part of our podcast episode with Heinz Bloch, we are going to find out what has been implemented to address these failures.

127 – The Top 5 Most Frequent Pump Failures with Heinz Bloch

The Top 5 Most Frequent Pump Failures with Heinz Bloch

Being one of the most important parts in automotive and aircraft industries, pumps are no exception to failure modes. The reason why pump failures exist is because either people think the pumps are not that important or they just know it and simply don’t want to take enough time to fix the problems. They just go about either replacing the pumps or just relying on the reserved pumps. They don’t even bother to eliminate the repeating failures by finding the root cause.

RRP 021 Wireless Vibration Sensors with John Bernet

This week’s episode is sponsored by Fluke and my guest is John Bernet. We talk about the benefits of using wireless vibration sensors compared to traditional vibration routes, why we need to start with an understanding of our equipment before rolling out new technologies and why full vibration analysis isn’t always necessary.

To learn more about Fluke’s vibration sensors go towww.accendoreliability.com/go/fluke I would appreciate it if you checked that site out!
