Joe Kuhn, CMRP, former plant manager, engineer, and global reliability consultant, is now president of Lean Driven Reliability LLC. He is the author of the book “Zero to Hero: How to Jumpstart Your Reliability Journey Given Today's Business Challenges” and the creator of the Joe Kuhn YouTube Channel, which offers content on starting your reliability journey and achieving financial independence. In our monthly podcast miniseries, Ask a Plant Manager, Joe considers a commonplace scenario facing the industry and offers his advice, as well as actions that you can take to get on track tomorrow. In this episode, Joe discusses the importance of planned work coordination.

Join Jonathan Guiney and Brendon Russ on Reliability Radio as they speak with Peter from Hexagon, a company focused on Asset Information Management (AIM). The discussion begins with a look at a fundamental challenge facing every industry: the "silver tsunami" and the loss of critical knowledge. Peter explains how Hexagon's solution bridges the siloed gap between engineering and maintenance by creating a "smart digital reality"—a digital twin of a facility. This virtual map is created using drones, scanners, and cutting-edge technology, transforming old, paper-based drawings into an explorable, video-game-like environment. Peter outlines the immense benefits of this approach: it significantly improves technician safety, boosts efficiency by providing instant access to asset information, and helps attract and retain young talent who grew up in a digital world. The conversation concludes with a look to the future, where AI will become a standard feature, offering autonomous task suggestions before humans even have to ask.

Join Jonathan Guiney and Brendon Russ on Reliability Radio for a controversial debate with Tom Woginrich from IBM on "predictive maintenance vs. condition-based maintenance." Tom challenges the traditional view, defining the "predictive maintenance" of old as limited "univariate analytics" (single variables like vibration), often leading to frustration and missed failures. He then unveils the true power of multivariate analytics: high-frequency data from dozens of variables (amps, temperature, load, even time of day) analyzed by machine learning to predict problems long before they become potential failures. Tom shares a fascinating anecdote of how a simple window shade caused a multi-million dollar recall for an automotive manufacturer, a problem only uncovered through disparate data analysis. Learn how IBM Maximo's capabilities, including multivariable health scores, are building the foundation for this next-level prediction. The discussion culminates with a glimpse into the future, where AI-powered systems automatically suggest actions without human prompting. This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to move beyond guesswork and unlock the true predictive power of their asset data.

The Genius of What Isn't ThereJune 1, 2020 http://goodies.wizardacademypress.com/MMM20200601-GeniusOfWhatIsntThere.mp3 (Listen) https://www.mondaymorningmemo.com/heineken-beagle/ (A) Three friends, who have never met each other, all sent me the same advice last week. What makes this convergence particularly interesting is that there was no common trigger. Each of the three messages I received was prompted by something different. The essence of those messages? You've got to leave things out. Genius is rarely about what is there. Genius is about what isn't there. David Freeman is a world-famous coach of fictional character construction. His credentials and accomplishments are staggering. David read in my memo of May 18 that, “I am finally writing that screenplay I've been thinking and talking about for 15 years. It's a buddy movie about a guy with 12 friends. I plan to shoot it in New Orleans next year.” So he sent me an email from Hollywood. “If you're going to have 12 characters, the traditional wisdom is that 1, 2, 3, 4, and maybe 5 should be far more primary the others. The more characters we're supposed to know and care about, the less emotion the audience feels because we can't get deeply invested in any one character if our attention is split between too many. Characters require screen time for us to get emotionally involved with them. The more major characters, the less screen time for each.” According to David, a screenwriter has to choose which characters get fully realized. The others are effectively left out.Stephen Semple is a lifelong student of the sales process. He studies every aspect of persuasion, from advertising to lead generation to product demonstrations to sales presentations. Stephen wrote to me about how reading the transcripts of his Zoom conferences taught him how people speak differently than they write. “We repeat words, finish other people's sentences, and forget about grammar.” According to Stephen, when highly engaged in an inspired conversation, we leave out much of what we would have written.Tom Grimes is a scholar, a thinker, a philosopher and a friend, and the President Plenipotentiary of the Worldwide Worthless Bastards. Tom owns a booming business, but he is always available to take your phone call or respond to your email. So I asked him what he does all day. Tom replied, “Famous ‘leaders' are often very noisy people… or they were dealing with a crisis. We sometimes think leadership is about dealing with the aftermath when the sh#t hits the fan. We fail to appreciate that the real objective is to never let the sh#t hit the fan in the first place. One time I was at the water treatment facility of a large manufacturing plant. The place was eerily quiet. When I made the observation that it looked like the staff was doing next to nothing, the head operator explained that the secret to running a facility like his was a stringent Preventive Maintenance program. He said that if you see people running around it meant there was a problem. And the objective of the maintenance team was to prevent problems before they became problems. A quiet place was the sign of a well-run operation.” According to Tom, the secret of being a great leader is to leave out the emergencies.When asked the secret of writing bestselling novels, Elmore Leonard said, “I leave out the parts that people skip.” Impressionistic painters leave out the details, requiring us to supply them from our storehouses of imagination. Talented photographers leave out sections of what they photograph, requiring us to imagine the parts that extend beyond the framelines. When writing ads, if you try to appeal to everyone, you will appeal to no one. You've got to choose who to lose. Indy Beagle has some great examples of this in the rabbit hole. He suggests that you hurry. The rabbit is afoot. The adventure has begun. Roy H. Williams

[spp-player] WHAT MIKE AND JENNIFER ARE UP TO THIS WEEK [spp-timestamp time="1:09"] We just returned from a great experience at the Owner's Academy, held last week for three days by Roadtrek and the Erwin Hymer Group of North America's headquarters in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. We were there to talk about our style of Serendipity Travel but we found the presentations by the factory staff so helpful that not only did we stuck around and listen but we did this week's podcast interview on the preventative maintenance tips we learned. It really was a lot of fun. People came from all over North America and everyone left so much more confident about handling the preventative maintenance things they were taught. They are doing two more Owner's Academy this year and we look forward to attending them, too. Both, though, are sold out but based on the great reception to them I'm sure there will be others scheduled. When they are, we'll let you know as soon as we do. We've been working hard on videos these past few weeks. We have a whole bunch in the hopper and you can see new ones on our RV Lifestyle Channel on You Tube. New videos are released every Thursday morning. Best way to know about them is to go to the channel and subscribe. Then you can clock on a a bell icon and every time a new one is ready, you'll get an immediate notification. But we have travel videos coming, a review of a new cellular booster system we're trying out, RV model walk-throughs and all sorts of other surprises. Here's the RV News of the week… Colorado Wildlife officers using social media to track people who harass moose Colorado wildlife officers are using social media to help them track down people who take pictures of themselves standing near and otherwise harassing moose. The desire to take a selfie near wildlife has been a growing problem at national parks and federal lands throughout the country, putting the wildlife and people at risk. In Colorado officers are using pictures, posted on social media, to successfully track down wildlife harassers to either issue tickets or issue warnings. RVs on fire filled last week's news; Take steps to stay safe Last week's RV news was full of what felt like an unusual number of RV fire reports. There was the story of a fifth wheel trailer fire in Arizona that reportedly appeared to start near the refrigerator. A woman and her cats were inside an RV in Florida when it caught aflame, apparently because of an electrical problem. A trailer was being towed in North Carolina when it caught a blaze, cause not immediately known. In Virginia an RV was parked in the owner's driveway when it caught on fire, spreading to the owner's home. All of these stories, and a few others, got me thinking back to an interview we did last year for the podcast on fire safety with Mark Polk of RVEducation101.com. Folks, it is important to do everything you can to stay safe. Click here to review that conversation and hear Mark's helpful safety tips.
