Rob Kalwarowsky joins CMMSradio to discuss his background, his recent TEDx talk in Japan, and much more.  What personal experiences lead him here and how does mindset, and leadership, play a role in best practices for maintenance teams?  What are some of the bad boss types and characteristics that negatively influence performance and well-being?

Rob discusses personal development, mindset, culture, and leadership within the context of maintenance and facilities management. Rob introduces the concept of internal family systems, explaining how different facets of the mind drive behavior and the role of protective mechanisms. The takeaway is the importance of authenticity, vulnerability, and empathy in leadership, highlighting how leaders who embody these qualities can drive positive transformations in both personal and organizational realms whether in maintenance or other aspects of operations and business with an emphasis on the impact of genuine connections, mindset shifts, and cultural transformations on teams and overall performance.

Rob discusses living abroad, his love for water polo and guitar, and his notable online presence across platforms like LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. He also provides a free eBook on effectively managing difficult bosses (a**hole bosses), along with an exclusive discount for his program for CMMSradio listeners.

Today, we're putting the spotlight on a critical component in surface mount technology, the stencil.

It’s been long said that reliability begins at the solder print, and the print begins with the stencil.

Joining us today is Elias Malfavon Jr, President of Metal Etch Services, Inc. a stencil manufacturer operating in San Marcos California. Metal edge services was founded 20 years ago in 2005.

We'll explore the fascinating journey of stencil production, from design and material selection to the advanced laser cutting technologies that ensure microscopic precision.

We'll also discuss the latest innovations in stencil technology, their impact on modern assembly processes, and how the industry is evolving to meet the challenges of ultra-high-density interconnects and miniaturization.

So, sit back, relax, and let's uncover the critical role of SMT stencils in today's electronics manufacturing landscape.

Thank you Cody Jackson, Founder of Effective PdM, for joining CMMSradio to discuss your IMPLEMENTATION Training programs teaching maintenance teams HOW TO EXECUTE predictive maintenance programs at their own facilities.  

Cody is presenting at the Reliable Plant conference (From Training to Triumph: Empowering Maintenance Teams through Infrared Inspections) on August 3.  The conference takes place July 31 – August 3 in Orlando Florida.

When did your journey into the world of maintenance start and how did that lead to the founding Effective PdM?

You understand the way predictive maintenance actually gets done – What is it that holds in-house maintenance teams back from optimal performance?

Can you give us a brief synopsis of what people can expect from your session at Reliable Plant on August 3rd?

I would imagine you’ve dealt with CMMS platforms over the years – Where do you see the challenges when it comes to predictive maintenance vs preventive maintenance?

You’ve trained a lot of maintenance teams – Do you ever hear about CMMS being a disruption or benefit to how teams really work?

How can maintenance teams better utilize their CMMS platforms for predictive maintenance best practices?

Where should folks start if they want to move toward a PdM process?

BTW everyone – The TMCC Slack channel is back and you can connect with people like Cody Jackson and several maintenance and reliability experts.  It’s free to sign up.  Just go to upkeep.org/CMMSradio to register and join the conversation.
