Reliability Leader with Adam Bahret

Reliability isn’t just about machines—it’s about understanding how things work in the real world. In this episode of the Reliability Leader Podcast, I share why defining "reliability" clearly is the key to success. Whether it’s a car, a medical device, or even a product you use every day, knowing how it’s meant to be used, where it’s used, and how long it’s expected to last makes all the difference.

I also talk about real-life examples—like how a simple cleaning product caused unexpected failures in a medical device. It's these little things that can make or break a product.

This episode is all about making sure everyone—engineers, managers, and even executives—are on the same page when it comes to reliability. Let’s dig into how we can design products that last and keep customers happy.

Welcome back to the Reliability Leader Podcast! In this episode, I’m talking about Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), a number we use a lot but might not actually need. MTBF sounds useful, but it often just creates more questions than answers. I’ll share why we still use it, the problems it can cause, and some simpler ways to measure success.

Hey everyone, Adam here! I'm excited to share the latest episode of the Reliability Leader Podcast, where I dive into why HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Testing) isn’t just about testing—it's about learning from failure. In this episode, I talk about why I think of HALT as "Highly Accelerated Failure Exploration" because it’s not about passing or failing a test. It's about pushing products to their breaking point to see how we can make them stronger and more reliable.

This week, I’m excited to welcome back Nancy Regan, a reliable center maintenance expert with decades of experience. We dive deep into how Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) plays a crucial role in the design process. Nancy shares incredible insights from her work with the US Navy and why RCM should be implemented as early as possible in a product's lifecycle.

We discuss practical strategies for improving reliability and how a multi-disciplinary approach can lead to better designs and maintenance processes.

Tune in now to explore how reliability can be built right from the start!
