Why The 5 Whys

 
Most Engineers are logical, its in the genes.  
It therefore follows that there should be a formalized logical approach to the intangible process of analyzing and solving problems.  
A very simple and easy to use system is “The 5 Whys”.

The Computer Maintenance Management System (CMMS- is it working for you ?

 
If I've heard it once, I've heard it 100 times (and more)
“Well yeah, we run a CMMS but we don't use it the best”.  
It always amazes me that Engineers will freely come out with this statement and yet do nothing about it.
Invariably the company has made a significant investment in purchase, installation and at some stage training, but don't seem able to go the extra yard in order to get the full value from the system.

Bring Back The Slide Rule

 
 Old fashioned, dead, gone , quaint antiquity, confined to the museum of old technologies.
Well maybe, but maybe not.
I believe that use of the slide rule should be resurrected. Not only should it be a compulsory Engineering subject but Slide Rules should be an essential “tool of trade” for Engineers in the work environment.
Why would anyone want to use a slide rule with its approximation and need to think through the units and location of the decimal point when a simple calculator will give the answer to an accuracy to six or eight or 10 decimal points?

For that very reason - “A NEED TO THINK”

SLIDE RULE : THE LEGEND LIVES ON

 
Hi, Slide is the name, Slide Rule that is. For years I was the biggest thing in the world of Engineering, Science and Commerce, hey, there was hardly a calculation done which didn't involve me. I was the King, I'd been around for hundreds of years and I RULED (excuse the pun). My powers are based on a clever logarithmic scale and it was all me, Multiplication, Division, Involution, Evolution, Trig Functions, Logs, I did it all and I was loved by all.

Is Low Head Height Extraction Duct Causing A Problem ?

 
 Large diameter extraction ducting can often be a head height problem in areas with low roofs when the ducting can interfere with pedestrian or vehicular  access ways.
Typically the hazard will be painted a bright colour or marked with signage, tape or similar. But it will still be a hazard.
