“Don't tell me I can't do it. Tell me what I have to do so I can do it.” – Dick Hoyt It’s possible to achieve incredible things in life simply by making up your mind.

From that first race, when Dick pushed Rick in his wheelchair and his son confided how he didn’t feel disabled when they ran together, they went on to complete over 1,000 races, including marathons, duathlons and triathlons. Topics discussed include: How their running journey evolved, how they broke new ground and barriers together and how they overcame the criticism and negativity they encountered.   YOU WILL LEARN: How Dick always maintained a positive mindset.

Our guest today has been at the forefront of operational reliability improvement in various industries around the world for many years. Dick Pettigrew joins us today, sharing from his extensive experience as we discuss his integrated approach to design, maintenance and operations.   With a degree in Chemical Engineering and a love for machinery, Dick started out working in process engineering support. As he progressed into design and project management, Dick began to observe fundamental issues surrounding the approach to reliability improvement and maintenance operations. In this episode, Dick shares about his career journey, some of the major learnings of his experience thus far and his holistic approach to problem solving on site, not just within maintenance reliability.   We discuss how output improvement is more valuable than maintenance cost reductions, how there’s a difference between the problem and the cause and that taking a broadened approach from reliability improvement into total manufacturing improvement is what will create sustainable improvements.   Dick talks us through some of his experiences improving outcomes and how the assessment process itself isn’t as important as the commitment from the leadership team and people on site to implement the improvements. We discuss the importance of establishing a good culture and how working with people directly on the floor brings the plant up to standard and restores pride in the operation.   Dick has spent a lot of time creating measurement systems and writing books to take a systematic approach to output improvement. He discusses his asset utilisation model and how combining this with the theory of constraints enabled him to improve the output of many plants he’s been involved in.   We discuss using RCM not as a project but as a way of thinking about plant reliability and how it can make a real difference when utilised this way. Dick shares his advice to aspiring maintenance and operational managers, honing in on the vital component of the human aspect. TOPICS DISCUSSED AND WHERE TO FIND THEM [2:00]: How Dick started out as a chemical engineer and worked in process engineering support, moving into design and project management [3:30]: How Dick became frustrated by the fact that the chemical plants he built weren’t being operated and maintained in the way they were intended to and that they needed an integrated approach to design, maintenance and operations [4:30]: As he moved into maintenance management, Dick discovered there wasn’t a logical approach or codified practises as there were in design [6:00]: How Dick was asked by the vice president of a large plant to discover ways to improve the maintenance and how they hired a maintenance consultant, wrote a book, developed a bench-marking process and performed many assessments on their plants [8:00]: How all problems flow down to maintenance but they developed a measurement system and philosophy that went back to the source of the problem. [10:30]: Combining the asset utilization model with the theory of constraints enabled them to start improving the output of their plants [11:20]: How output improvement is 5-10 times more valuable than maintenance cost reductions [12:30]: The opportunities that exist within the unscheduled operational downtime [14:00]: How Dick retired from the chemical business in 2003 and established his own consulting business which led him to work with an Australian mining company. He rewrote the chemical plant assessment book into mining terms. [16:45]: How they implemented a successful process where the site took ownership for the outcomes of the assessment [18:50]: Relialitics Equipment Condition Supervisor software [21:00]: The assessment process itself isn’t as important as the commitment from the leadership team and people on site to implement the improvement [22:16]: How any errors should be classed as unscheduled downtime, regardless of the source of the problem because there’s a difference between the problem and the cause. [23:00]: How often maintenance and operations are at odds but working together is essential [25:00]: A successful plant that changed to become much more reliable, largely due to the local management and their focus on teamwork. [27:15]: How the state and size of the storeroom is a good indicator of the success of the plant [28:30]: How the commitment from local management and the people on site is what really makes change possible [32:00]: How senior managers understand how difficult improvement can be and have been more understanding of the process than Dick himself [34:20]: How the culture of a place with the right people, attitudes and standards create sustainability [39:00]: Working directly on the floor in clean and tag operations brings the plant up to standard and restores pride in the operation [42:10]: planning and scheduling is there to improve the efficiency of scheduled maintenance downtime but doesn’t actually improve reliability if the quality of the work isn’t there [43:30]: Dick’s advice to aspiring maintenance and operational managers - the human aspect has to be at the forefront of your thinking and the technical aspects of RCM, importantly addressing functional requirements not the machine itself How you think about failures and manage them through the RCM mentality   BOOKS MENTIONED: The Goal by Eliyahu M.

When we were just a few episodes into #ProudToBeKinky, Dick_Wound reached out to us on Fetlife and offered podcasting camaraderie. We were genuinely touched, even more so when we asked for advice on guest episodes and they not only gave advice, but were active in getting us in contact with people who became future guests. [caption id="attachment_1251" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Off The Cuffs Podcast[/caption] When the conversation turned to possibly doing each other's shows we were very excited. I know we have our own podcast, which is brilliant, but going on someone else's show, well that’s a whole different ball game. So it was decided we would fire up Skype and each do a recording for the other podcast. I am happy to say we were not disappointed. Despite the geographical distance between us, it very much felt like making new friends.   Topics covered in this episodes are:   How Dick and Max got into kink What made them start a podcast together What current dynamics they are enjoying What kind of kinks and fetishes they have   You can hear more from them on their podcast which can be found on iTunes and most other podcast apps.

Stuck On You She’d been following him around all day, and it was getting beyond a joke.             Mick had first noticed her in the bar as he had breakfast. Had she been on his tail all night? And, more to the point, why him? It wasn’t as if he had the most exciting of lives, spending as he did most of his waking day running up and down corridors and stairs, nipping out for the occasional coffee between classes. Couldn’t she have picked on Dick rather than Mick? To Mick’s knowledge, Darkhorse Dick spent his life roaming down back alleys, nipping in for the occasional class between coffees and goodness knows what else. How Dick spent his working day was a complete mystery, and surely deserving of further investigation.             Mick had hoped to shake off his stalker at lunch-time, so he was rather peeved to find her waiting patiently for him as he parked his car. Sooner or later Mick was going to have to confront her; it would be later rather than sooner, however, as he was running late for his next class.             I don’t know about you, but I’m with Mick on this one: they should have called it shoeing gum.
