On this episode of Reliability 4.0, we chat with Matthew Knuth, Business Development Leader at SPM Instrument. Matthew discusses what he sees as the biggest challenge for the industry at the moment - the pace of technical innovation and top down implementations of condition monitoring (CM) programs without collaboration from the engineers and shop floor operators.
Matthew identifies root cause analysis (RCA) as indispensable for an effective condition monitoring program. He also emphasizes training, cross-team communication, and giving everyone a seat at the table as critical components of change management. If you want to build a CM and RCA program where people “step across the hall” and have cross functional teams and communications that keep operations running smoothly, this episode is for you!
