Then later on, when he retired from Cargill, we worked together at Allied Reliability. So I’ve known Tim for gosh, going on 20 years now. I had started the company Reliability Solutions and was offering RCM Blitz and was training facilitators and facilitating RCMs for Cargill when I met Tim. So Doug, why don’t you … For those in the audience who don’t know you yet, let them know who you are and what you’re about.ĭoug Plucknette: Oh, good afternoon. Doug Plucknette, I know that both of you have worked together in the past, and we’re very fortunate to have both of you as an advisor. So, it’s great to be joining you, Chris.Ĭhris Pepin: Yeah. Chris and I have been working together since that. I ran into Chris maybe a year ago through an acquaintance of mine. Then I took an early retirement, left and went to a company called Allied Reliability who’s been in the business for over 20 years of consulting in reliability, condition monitoring, and maintenance improvement, and just recently retired from them. Of that 30 years, I probably spent 20 years of that in the corporate reliability and maintenance improvement efforts on a global scale. My background is, first 30 years of my career spent with Cargill. I’ve spent 40 years in industrial plants and in engineering and reliability and maintenance. Tim Goshert: I’m a chemical engineer by trade went to Penn State University, graduated a long time ago.
Tim, tell us a little bit about yourself and how we came to meet. And we are doing this first podcast in the work-from-home era, so excuse any other additions that may come through.
So for me, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for giving this podcast a try and we look forward to hearing how it works for you.
WOW OH THE INSTANITY HOW TO
This is our first podcast series, so we welcome any and all feedback as we’re learning how to do this thing as we go along, but really just want to provide some value and want to make sure it’s worth your time of investing. We understand thoroughly how difficult it is being short-staffed, having people out sick, having a myriad of other challenges to worry about that you’re all facing out there. We’re going to draw on their experience and find some ways through and see what the opportunities are. They’ve seen a lot, although of course, in reliability and industrial, we never see it all.
So, where can we pull from the past to find ways through? Where can we pull from experience?Īnd fortunately, Tim and Doug have 30-plus years of industry experience. So we want to give you some really great takeaways, some good ideas, and frankly, we’re pulling from other downturns in tumultuous times with the knowledge that even though history doesn’t repeat itself, and what we’re going through has never necessarily been done before, it does echo.
We’re coming at the close of 2020 into 2021 currently, and things are still looking every bit as difficult. And in this first series, we’re going to work with Tim Goshert and Doug Plucknette on a lot of the opportunities, challenges, and frankly, how to get through the COVID dilemma we’ve been going through for the past year. I’m the founder of Progressive Reliability. I’m going to be your host here on the podcast. Chris Pepin: Good day, ladies and gentlemen.
