133 – Detecting the Most Common Motor Faults with John Bernet

Detecting the Most Common Motor Faults with John Bernet

 

 

 

In this episode, we covered:

  • Know how to detect the most common motor faults
  • Learn what is vibration analysis
  • How to determine and diagnose machine faults
  • What are the mechanical components
  • And much more!

Vibrational analysis has widely used applications in the maintenance and reliability industry. It is a very effective tool in detecting an imbalance in the machine components by monitoring, comparing, and then eliminating any issues that can wear the machinery down. It can also be used for dealing with mechanical faults in the motors. For the detection and elimination of […]

132 – 5 Habits of an Extraordinary Reliability Engineer with Peter Horsburgh

5 Habits of an Extraordinary RE with Peter Horsburgh

In this episode, we covered:

  • What Extraordinary Reliability Engineer(RE) is
  • The 5 Habits of an Extraordinary RE
  • How to identify consequences (safety, environmental, operational, and non-operational)
  • The best practice for engineers to provide the best resolution

As a reliability engineer, you have to come in contact with failures that repeat over and over again. Sometimes you can t find the best solution to solve a problem because there are other people involved in the issue as well. It might be due to the lack of communication because reliability engineers are not always […]

131 – RCM Principles with Nancy Regan

RCM Principles with Nancy Regan

In this episode, we covered:

  • What Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) is
  • The 7 Principles of RCM
  • How to identify consequences (safety, environmental, operational, and non-operational)
  • PdM, CBM, FMEA, FMECA: Are these all related to RCM?
  • How are we successful with processes such as maintenance task analysis or PM Optimization, etc. if we don’t have these same set of principles that build off of each other?
  • The principle that organizations tend to struggle with the most
  • The principle that makes the biggest impact on a successful RCM analysis
  • Examples of ideal reliability function statements
  • What is the right level of detail […]

130 – 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.

In this episode, we covered:

  • What reliability […]

129 – Enhancing Manufacturing with PdM with Saar Yoskovitz

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 […]
