In this episode of Great Question: A Manufacturing Podcast, Thomas Wilk, chief editor of Plant Services, is joined by Brian Hronchek, principal trainer and consultant with Eruditio, to discuss a topic in the air these days: PM optimization.

Key takeaways- PM optimization starts with clear goals: inspections should yield identical results from both seasoned and new technicians.
- Many PMs lack value—use metrics like PM/PdM yield to identify and improve or eliminate ineffective tasks.
- Aligning maintenance with planning and scheduling reduces downtime and prevents reactive repair chaos.
- Trimming bloated PMs and focusing on useful inspections can boost uptime, cut stress, and streamline production.
