On this episode of Reliability Radio, hosts Jonathan Guiney and Brendon Russ welcome Allen Rienstra from SDT Ultrasound Solutions to discuss the biggest mistake companies make after purchasing new technology: undervaluing training.

Allen reveals that the failure rate for new monitoring programs that neglect continuous, hands-on training aligns perfectly with the 70% program failure statistic. The core problem is the confusion between certification training (learning physics and theory) and implementation training (learning the software, making real-life decisions, and applying it to your assets).

Key Takeaways:

  • The Cost of No Training: Learn why checking the box by buying the tool leads to it sitting in a closet, and how a single wrong call can kill a program's credibility forever.

  • The Power of Ultrasound: Discover why ultrasound is the most versatile condition monitoring technology, owning the apex of the P-F curve as the earliest detectable method, providing immediate ROI.

  • Solution for Budget Constraints: Allen shares a resource that provides thousands of instructional tutorials to help upskill your team, even if you can't get the training budget.

Never value engineer training—it is the difference between a successful program and a tool collecting dust.
