In too many organizations, we hear about the need to align the goals to drive better value, but no one wants to change what they or what they are measured by. In this special episode of Reliability Radio, we sit down with Ron Moore and have a frank conversation about what works and what doesn’t work in the effort to achieve actual inter-department cooperation and partnership. Everyone on the reliability journey needs to tune in to this one!

What can it do for me in Reliability and Asset Management? There are a lot of solutions in the market to help leverage data to create information with context to make decision.

In the world of condition monitoring, we’ve come a long way to get our results better, faster, and more accurate. The advancement of technology has allowed all of us to self-perform just about every facet of condition monitoring and more importantly, leverage the results together to make decisions. However, there is one technology that most practitioners still don’t do themselves and is often disconnected, Fluid Analysis. Listen in as we talk with Jack Poley on state of fluid analysis in industry today, why it’s important to bring it into the fold with other technologies, and a clear vision of its future.

Performing self-assessments to gauge where you have been an important step in determining areas of strength and for identifying needs for improvements. Whether you are just starting your reliability journey, restarting a program, or just getting a grasp of the current status, assessments are crucial for awareness. Additionally aligning your programs to the Uptime® Elements gives them a parallel to a common understanding of reliability standards.

Were you aware that there are two assessments that give an organization's maturity, using the Uptime Elements?

We talk with Russ Parish of ReliabilityWeb as we go over the need for reliability assessments, the Asset Analytix RAM-GPS assessment, and the new Uptime Elements-GPS assessment.

When you go to a health care provider, hospital, or outpatient center, the reliability of the equipment should be the furthest thing from your mind.
