A BIG thank you to Shaon Isenhour of Eruditio for joing CMMSradio to discuss his recent learning session at the Reliable Plant Conference 2023 in Orlando. This episode has numerous insights and guidance for maintenance professions, CMMS users, and the like to understand a bit about work management and the best practices behind how teams can get moving. We discussed the services offered by Eruditio, including the Inspired Blendded Learning Curriculum and the RMIC certification offered at The University of Tennessee Knoxville. We get into the skilled trades gap, ADKAR, and RASI + the importance of building a job plan library, into your CMMS, for PM (Preventive Maintenance) and CM (corrective maintenance) to upskill and guide incoming employees for proper execution of said tasks as the folks with tribal knowledge retire. This is 20 minutes of pure gold for anyone wanting to learn from a maintenance and reliability professional that knows how to get tyhings done and create sustained reliability within organizations of all types. Thank you to Noria Corporation, Reliable Plant, and Machinery Lubrication for making it all happen. See you in Chicago in June 2024 for the next one!

Rob Kalwarowsky joins CMMSradio to discuss his background, his recent TEDx talk in Japan, and much more. What personal experiences lead him here and how does mindset, and leadership, play a role in best practices for maintenance teams? What are some of the bad boss types and characteristics that negatively influence performance and well-being? Rob discusses personal development, mindset, culture, and leadership within the context of maintenance and facilities management. Rob introduces the concept of internal family systems, explaining how different facets of the mind drive behavior and the role of protective mechanisms. The takeaway is the importance of authenticity, vulnerability, and empathy in leadership, highlighting how leaders who embody these qualities can drive positive transformations in both personal and organizational realms whether in maintenance or other aspects of operations and business with an emphasis on the impact of genuine connections, mindset shifts, and cultural transformations on teams and overall performance. Rob discusses living abroad, his love for water polo and guitar, and his notable online presence across platforms like LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. He also provides a free eBook on effectively managing difficult bosses (a**hole bosses), along with an exclusive discount for his program for CMMSradio listeners.

Cody is presenting at the Reliable Plant conference (From Training to Triumph: Empowering Maintenance Teams through Infrared Inspections) on August 3. The conference takes place July 31 - August 3 in Orlando Florida. When did your journey into the world of maintenance start and how did that lead to the founding Effective PdM? You understand the way predictive maintenance actually gets done - What is it that holds in-house maintenance teams back from optimal performance? Can you give us a brief synopsis of what people can expect from your session at Reliable Plant on August 3rd? I would imagine you've dealt with CMMS platforms over the years - Where do you see the challenges when it comes to predictive maintenance vs preventive maintenance? You've trained a lot of maintenance teams - Do you ever hear about CMMS being a disruption or benefit to how teams really work? How can maintenance teams better utilize their CMMS platforms for predictive maintenance best practices? Where should folks start if they want to move toward a PdM process?

This episode features Joe Serwinski, Founder and Presdent of FSI, discussing the journey to building a purpose-built CMMS for healthcare maintenance management. Hospitals, and healthcare facilities of any kind, need the right software that follows their process. Joe built it and tells us about the journey. A 35 year journey during which Joe launched Facility Survey, in 2002, to help hospitals collect and load the right data into their CMMS platforms. FSI was launched later based on a specific CMMS build out for a hospital system with 17 locations. Other hospitals wanted to use the same platform, so they entered the market with one of the first SaaS based healthcare specific CMMS platforms. Turns out it is CMS, rather than just CMMS, which stands for Cutom Maintenance Software with a mind towards including the right flexibility needed to help varying types, and sizes, of hospitals and healthcare facilities keep moving foward instead of trying to adapt some other CMMS to their working style. This episode covers: The journey to creating FSI and Joe's background Worrisome trends in CMMS and maintenance Trends that are net positive (good) for the industry The importance of standardization (ASHE, etc.) Data for the next generation The role of AI Integrations now and in the future - WHy they matter Tune in to listen and let us know how you liked this episode.
