“The more we can show that our equipment is in tolerance, or pull it into tighter specs, the more chance we have of making a new discovery or making an improvement. If I can add more precision, more accuracy, give them an extra decimal point, that might be the difference between making a discovery or not. Once I was able to prove that through better standards and better calibration, they might be able to find that thing they’re looking for, that’s when things turn around. So I’m always trying to drive toward that goal.”
"I have a report set up to go out to my facilities team every week on Monday morning of all the preventative maintenance activities that they are responsible to complete before the end of the month. Knowing that report is always current really helps make sure that they’re not missing something by accident."
