    Episode 12: Making Sense of Sensors in Manufacturing with Fred Schenkelberg

    In this episode I got to interview the amazing Fred Schenkelberg, who is a reliability expert at FMS Reliability and the owner of the super popular reliability and quality engineering professional development online platform, Accendo Reliability (make sure to check it out if you haven't already!).  The episode centers on using and making sense of sensors in manufacturing. The application of sensors in manufacturing has become quite widespread. The goal is to collect large amounts of data from manufacturing equipment with the goal for those data to become information, knowledge and aid decision making. Potential areas are equipment maintenance/reliability, product performance and reliability, quality, efficiency, traceability, regulatory etc. Fred shares with us his experience and wisdom on - Misapplication of sensors in manufacturing - How experimentation prior to setting up a sensor is critical for understanding what you need to (and more importantly, what you don't need to) collect data on - Merely looking at sensor data doesn't replace hands-on, in-person interaction with manufacturing equipment    - Strategies for deciding on what is important to collect data on

    Episode 11: What is the Future of Quality? with Dianna Deeney

    In this episode, I have Dianna Deeney join us, with whom I unpack in detail the question: “What is the future of quality?”. Dianna recently posted an online article with the same title, and since it really resonated with me, I thought she and I could talk through her excellent findings on the show. Dianna is a mechanical, quality, reliability engineer, consultant and fellow podcaster. She advises engineers in product development. Her work includes consulting and training on how quality and reliability engineering methods can be integrated early into the design process. She believes that the chance of design success is improved through increased collaboration with cross-functional teams, data-based decisions, and application of risk-based analyses – all of which she has seen to be capable through quality thinking. She consults under Deeney Enterprises and is founder of Quality during Design (https://www.qualityduringdesign.com), an online platform that shares resources, practical advice, and problem-solving techniques to strategically apply quality and reliability engineering methods to product design. Episode highlights: - Trends that have shaped the voice of the customer in recent years - Thoughts on the use big data in quality; challenges and opportunities - Recent trends in product development and innovation - How does the quality function best fit within the organization? - Dianna's practical advice as to how quality professionals can navigate the ever-changing landscape and essentially the future of how we do business

    We’re back with a brand new episode that is also the very first episode of 2022. My guest on this episode is Tim Sheehan. Tim is an extremely well-rounded quality engineer with significant experience in many facets of quality. More importantly, he has recently learned a set of skills that really makes him stand out from his peers and capable of designing, developing and delivering complete data solutions at his company.

And that’s exactly what Tim did; he took the initiative and picked up these skills and ended up delivering a much-needed custom data solution at his company essentially closing the gap between IT and the quality function. In this episode we cover in detail: - The details of and learnings form the data project Tim has been working on - The difference between purchasing an off-the-shelf data solution from a vendor and being able to develop one in-house - How the digital revolution is not necessarily just about data; it is still very much about people, for people. - What a great data analytics solution looks like - Why having the technical skills to develop a data solution AND the domain knowledge to know what to build may be the best of both worlds - Tim also shares his advice with quality folks wanting to become more data literate and gain tech skills so they themselves can design and deliver data solutions at their companies

    Episode 7, Part 1: How To Cultivate Skills That Stick Through Active Learning with Keith Fong

    In Part I of Episode 7, my recurring guest, the phenomenal Keith Fong and I take you to a chat that will be worth your time! Learning is an essential activity for any individual or organization; it is through learning that you develop skills you don't currently possess or develop a higher level of competency in a given skill. Yet, one wonders why conventional training methods organizations typically utilize (classroom-type, lecture-type or through consultants) don't deliver on their promise of making the participants competent in the subject matter. Episode summary: Training in organizations Why is the lecture-type (a.k.a. industrial) approach to education and training not effective and is really "the easy way out"?  What is the active learning model? Leadership's reponsibility; everyone is a leader. "If the student doesn't learn, it is the teacher's fault" An example of a successful active learning program implementation (featured in Part 2 of the episode)
