Everyone talks about "proactive maintenance," but what actually makes it stick? In this episode, Pete and Sarah dive into the real engine of reliability: operational discipline and culture.

We break down why routines—like a disciplined shift start meeting—are anything but boring, and why they are essential for protecting multi-million dollar mobile mining assets. Discover how small daily rituals build a proactive culture, how to fight the "good enough" trap of complacency, and why reliability is truly a team sport driven by mutual accountability between Operations and Maintenance.

🎯 Key takeaways:

• Why operational discipline is the foundation of reliability, not just a nice-to-have.

• How rituals like shift start meetings drive accountability and visibility.

• The "good enough" trap and how to empower operators to fight complacency.

• The power of collaboration: why shared risk between Ops and Maintenance builds reliability.

This episode is for anyone who’s tired of watching great maintenance strategies fail due to poor execution. Whether you're in the pit, the workshop, or the office, this will help you shift your team from reactive chaos to disciplined success.

💡 Takeaway Tip: Turn a commonly missed check on your critical fleet into a non-negotiable ritual this week.
