Reliability Radio EP 344: IS YOUR HAND CALIBRATED? Matt Vilardebo - JLL

Join Hosts Jonathan Guiney and Brendon Russ on Reliability Radio as they welcome Matt Vilardebo from JLL. Drawing on four decades of experience—starting with his father's early work in vibration analysis—Matt discusses the surprising persistence of reactive maintenance. He explores the "million dollar question": Why do maintenance teams still walk by known asset failures? Matt shares real-world stories from power plants to the Middle East, highlighting the constant battle against the mentality of running assets to failure and the critical need for maintenance professionals to communicate the true cost of downtime and subsequent equipment damage.
