So for the past three years people have asked for a course on how to become a site reliability engineer, and I ignored these requests because I assumed people could figure it out on their own. If you’re actually interested in this, let me know by interacting with this post

As a Reliability engineer and health advocate, I conceptualize my body as a manufacturing facility. To ensure that this facility can meet daily demands, it is imperative that it remains available and reliable-dependable. It is essential to minimize unnecessary downtime and ensure that all critical systems, particularly those in the Golden Line such as the Brain-DCS, Heart-critical pump, Stomach-process house, lungs-air compressors, etc., are functional. For critical equipment with no standbys where failure could lead to severe consequences, I implement a condition monitoring system that runs on a quarterly basis just to keep pump operating pressure in check as per OEM requirements. I also have a PM plan that runs every other day—jogging/walking—and one that runs every other week—hiking. Proper utilization of stop days and shutdowns—long weekends and holidays to upgrade and reboot my DCS. All of this to say, optimal physical, mental and social well-being are the biggest drivers to work productivity and quality of life.

Finally - I completed Reliability Engineering course from NPTEL. As a Fatigue Expert - knowing Reliability Engineering will be an added advantage. I would strongly recommend the course for people wanting to know Reliability Engineering. Amandeep Nagpal, Sauradeep Datta - Thanks for all the guidance over past few years and sharing your experience on Reliability

What does a Reliability Engineer do?  Reliability Engineers make sure maintenance plans include tasks to adequately test and to maintain critical assets.  One example is fire systems including assets like Diesel fire pumps.  Hopefully they will never be needed, but we do help to ensure they will startup and perform.   #maintenance #reliability #reliabilityengineering #safety

Fleet surveys from ATA's TMC, Motive, and IMR found that top-ranking concerns for commercial vehicle maintenance industry leadership included technician staffing and the parts supply chain. Of the list, technician staffing and aftertreatment were the topics which worried respondents the most—stating that 45% found labor shortages and talent retention to be among the top concerns throughout the year.... Here are the top 5 concerns: 1) Inflation (Economic) 2) Brakes and Cost Containment (tie) 3) Technician Training 4) New Technology Challenges and Labor (tie) 5) Technician Retention and Technician Staffing (tie) To read more, check out the article published in Fleet Maintenance magazine: https://lnkd.in/gPHP_a5a

Hi Process Safety Professionals, I am here to initiate a discussion on Pressure Safety Valves (PSVs), an essential component in ensuring the safety of pressure systems. Below are a few topics and questions I would like to explore 1.   What are the implications of including ALL PSV in the Safety Critical devices list in terms of maintenance, inspection, 2.   Are there any significant benefits or challenges associated with this classification? 3.   Is redundancy necessary for all PSVs, or are there specific conditions where redundancy becomes critical? 4.   What factors should be considered when deciding on the need for redundant PSVs? 5.   Which standard provides us with the guidelines regarding the PSV?  I am very interested in hearing your perspectives, experiences, and any relevant insights you might have on this topic. Your contributions will help in understanding the diverse approaches and considerations involved in implementing redundant PSVs.

Very interesting piece of work in the area of reliability engineering.
