RELIABILITY MENTORSHIP - THE SOLUTION FOR THE SKILLS...

Reliability Gang Podcast ·

2026/02/18

Mentorship beats tools. Full stop. I’ve been on the road with Maintain Reliability across food factories, metal plants and logistics sites, and the pattern is the same everywhere. Companies invest in systems before they invest in judgement. They gather more data before they build the confidence to act on what they already know. Then they wonder why the breakdowns keep coming. The issue is rarely a lack of information. It’s a lack of guided decision making. Training gives knowledge. Mentoring ...

FIX THE SYSTEMS NOT THE SYMPTOMS

Reliability Gang Podcast ·

2026/01/18

What if the problem isn’t your data at all but the way you’re trying to use it? Too many plants are stacked with sensors dashboards and alerts yet they are still fighting the same fires every week. I see it constantly. Technology gets layered on top of a weak maintenance strategy and everyone is surprised when nothing really changes. In this conversation I speak openly about an uncomfortable truth. Sensors do not fix broken thinking. Structure does. Planning does. Stopping defects before they...

HIDDEN ELECTRICAL TRUTHS, MCA AND MCSA - MARK GURNEY

Reliability Gang Podcast ·

2025/12/16

Ever wondered how a “high-efficiency” motor can start wasting energy and damaging bearings before it’s even been switched on? We did too. So we tested it. Using offline motor circuit analysis alongside online motor current signature analysis, we inspected brand-new IE4 motors still sitting in their crates. What we found changed the conversation completely. Critical impedance imbalance straight out of the box. One motor already showing early winding defects before it ever saw load. That’s the ...

Reliability doesn’t fail because the maths is wrong. It fails because of people. That’s where we begin this straight-talking conversation with Steve Morris, the driving force behind Mainstream. For more than 30 years he has been building something different: a movement that puts real maintenance leaders on stage, replaces the hero firefighter with predictable performance, and keeps the community alive all year round so practitioners can share what actually works without the sales pitch. We lo...

Electric Motor Management Revolution

Reliability Gang Podcast ·

2025/09/23

When most people think reliability, vibration analysis is the first thing that comes to mind. But what about the electrical side of your motors. That’s where a lot of hidden damage is happening and it’s often ignored. In this episode we get into shaft current. It’s been around since variable speed drives first hit the scene but it’s still not well understood and definitely not well managed. These stray electrical currents eat away at bearings and windings, quietly cutting motor life down by d...

In this episode, I sat down with Joseph Anderson from Reliability X for one of the most honest and refreshing conversations I’ve had on reliability. We didn’t just talk tools, data, and KPIs… we talked about what really matters: people. Joseph shares his own journey, from what he calls being a “defect initiator” (yep, he says he would’ve fired himself back then!) to becoming a leader who changed plant performance by focusing first on the people behind the machines. What really hit me was when...

The Real Value of Reliability

Reliability Gang Podcast ·

2025/04/14

What’s the real value of reliability in your organisation? It’s a simple question—but one that’s often overlooked before businesses jump into big investments in technology or strategy. And yet, it’s the question that sits at the heart of effective asset management. Over the years, working closely with a wide range of organisations, we’ve seen a common pattern: many skip the most important first step—getting crystal clear on what reliability actually means for their business. Without that alig...
