Welcome the #Reliabilitygang Podcast! I would like to welcome you all to my reliability journey. I am passionate about reliability and I want to share as much as I can with everyone with my experiences. Stories are powerful and my aim of this outlet is to gather as many insights and experiences and share them with the world. Thanks for joining the #reliabilitygang.
If you’ve ever thought, “We’ve got condition monitoring, we’ve got a CMMS, so why are we still firefighting?”, you’re not alone and you’re not imagining it. We talk about the uncomfortable gap between doing “the right activities” and actually getting reliability results, and why so many plants stay trapped in reactive maintenance even when the data is screaming for change.
We break down why benchmarking is the starting line. Until you can compare your current maintenance practices to a recognised standard, you cannot see the real opportunity or even agree on what “good” looks like. That’s the thinking behind the MRL Core Audit we’ve built at Maintain Reliability: an external, honest assessment aligned to the EFQM framework and the key elements of maintenance practice, designed to give a true baseline that often mirrors what you see in OEE.
From there we get practical. An audit is pointless if it lands on a desk and dies, so we explain how findings turn into a roadmap built around the biggest gaps, quick wins that keep momentum, and clear roles and responsibilities so actions get finished. We also talk ROI, because culture change and proactive maintenance cost money up front, and leaders need to understand what they get back in reduced downtime, higher availability, lower maintenance cost and lower risk.
We finish by challenging a common trap: adding sensors, online systems or AI “because we can” instead of fixing the upstream causes. Design for reliability, acceptance testing, maintainability and better cross-team communication can reduce failures and mean time to repair in ways monitoring simply can’t.
