Keeping up to date with many fields of study
Just got this in the mail recently. In order to understand criticality rankings, its good to get a good grasp on Reliability as a whole.
In the next couple of years I need to have a strong base on all of these fields:
- Thermography
- Vibration
- Ultrasound (All 8 application pillars: Steam, Mechanical, Electrical, Tightness testing, Leaks, Hydraulic, Valves, and Bearings)
- Reliability Maintenance
- Energy Auditing
- Power Quality
- Motors
- Pumps
- HVAC systems
- Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA)
- Solar O&M
If I know all of these then I can always be needed anywhere.
Finding Motor Doc LLC has been one of those gems of a find. There is nothing better than finding someone who actually has full knowledge of a particular field, and Howard has a podcast to boot.
