Ever feel like you're constantly putting band-aids on the same problems in your plant? Ed and Alvaro tackle one of your most requested topics: root cause analysis. They share real shop floor stories, including a $6,000 gearbox that didn't need replacing and why throwing more glue at a packaging problem isn't always the answer.
Whether you're tired of the blame game between maintenance and operations or just want practical tools you can use tomorrow, this episode delivers. From the simple "five whys" method to how AI helps uncover the root cause of problems, we cover what actually works on the plant floor.
What You'll Learn:
-
Why root cause analysis isn't just another step - it's a complete game changer
-
The difference between using a shotgun vs. a sniper rifle approach to problem solving
-
How to get maintenance and operations working together instead of against each other
-
Real examples of problems solved in weeks instead of months
-
How AI tools are taking root cause analysis to the next level
