Season 3 Episode 3 of Get Smartr Podcast – an LCE Podcast
Strong, resilient manufacturing operations start long before a facility goes live. They’re the result of thoughtful planning, skilled teams, and the smart integration of technology. In this episode, host Tara Holwegner is joined by Mike Smith, CMRP, Manager of Reliability Engineering at LCE, to unpack what it really takes to achieve operational readiness in today’s manufacturing landscape. From avoiding early missteps to building systems that support long-term performance, Mike shares lessons learned from years of supporting capital projects.
Listeners will walk away with insights on how to apply risk-based asset management, prepare the workforce, and implement technologies like AI and sensors in a way that truly supports long-term reliability. Whether you’re standing up a new facility or optimizing an existing one, this conversation offers expert guidance on building a smarter, more resilient operation.
