If you want reliability in your process plant or manufacturing operation, you have to start at the beginning. No, not THAT beginning, THIS beginning:

When your buildings are still under construction, if not before, you should be specifying the equipment that will be installed for your operations. This is point of greatest leverage, where you can get the greatest gains in inherent equipment reliability at the lowest spend. We will cover this, and many other topics over the coming weeks and months.

I hope you’ll join me as we cover the ins and outs of reliability and maintenance excellence in manufacturing and process operations. My name is Michael Meehan and I have 40 years of experience in plant maintenance, condition monitoring, supervision and management of service and maintenance operations, and reliability engineering in a variety of industries and manufacturing industries. I have achieved a number of certifications including Certified Maintenance and Reliability Professional, Certified Reliability Leader, and Six Sigma Green Belt over the years.

I have shared my experiences at a number of maintenance and reliability oriented conferences including Machinery Lubrication, Reliable Plant, The Reliability Conference, and the International Maintenance Conference. Join me as I share some of that information with all of you. I hope it inspires you to learn more, and to make your plant more reliable too.
