Helping Someone in Reliability

Recently I met with a fellow AMRPP member, Jayson Carganilla. He is in between jobs but he is doing side work of making a Root Cause Analysis failure report of a motor shaft. He has experience in the petro and gas industry, specializing in corrosion control and reliability.

Currently 48 years old, he made a comment in our conversation that he is at a point in his career where he a bit hesitant in traditional employment. It makes sense. Getting older the job options get slimmer and being employed by Shell, the pay from other local companies doesn't seem worth the effort.

So i told him that perhaps he can learn how to do leak detection and make a business out of it. Of course Choy would help in the business aspect of this endeavor and I can do the technical learning, since I have the equipment.

I can say that there is a huge potential for an upside to this path. You can really help solve an issue in most industrial on leak detection/ energy waste, and make decent money. It wouldn't a stretch to say that you can earn P100,000 per job.

First, learn how to use the equipment. Learn the software. Learn how to calculate loss. Learn how to do a survey. Learn how to make a report. That should be it.

The best thought I had today is that being part of AMRPP is not only knowledge sharing but also giving people the opportunity to improve their livelihood. To do that we need to learn together, do things together, and build a fellowship. The journey has be taken with others. We don't have to live on an island alone.
