## [FMEA, and RCA, Got You Overwhelmed, and Paralyzed?](https://blog.eruditiollc.com/fmea-and-rca-got-you-overwhelmed-and-paralyzed)

[![](https://blog.eruditiollc.com/hubfs/overwhelm.jpg)](https://blog.eruditiollc.com/fmea-and-rca-got-you-overwhelmed-and-paralyzed)

I get it, Failure Modes Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) are hard or at the very least hard to execute consistently. If you look at the amount of them that you need to do or should do, it can be quite overwhelming. Many sites get paralyzed by this and do very little or nothing with these very important tools. Just like many of the other elements we talk about that are needed...

Is your predictive maintenance program setup like a rifle or a shotgun? Would you say it is well thought out and directed at  a specific failure mode of a known risk or is it more of a shoot and scatter and see what I can hit approach?Over the last few years I have seen more sites that are the later more than the former. They hand out PdM tools to untrained or minimally trained technicians,...

## [Seriously, It Is Time To Plan](https://blog.eruditiollc.com/seriously-it-is-time-to-plan)

 Friday, 13 March 2020 by [Shon Isenhour](https://blog.eruditiollc.com/author/shon-isenhour)

 After the latest round of speaking engagements, conferences, and workshops where I have had the opportunity to poll the audience, I’m more sure than ever that we are leaving huge opportunities untapped in manufacturing. It is time for planners to plan and schedules to be executed. Planning helps a facility from multiple angles. If you need more uptime then planning gets the required work done...

I still remember the first time I ever saw a robot; it was love at first sight. Fast forward from that experience to present day and my love for automation has only intensified. When given the opportunity to share that passion with the young people that hold the keys to our future, I made myself available. The name of the most recent event I attended is BEST, which stands for Boosting Engineering...
