Season 3 Episode 6 of Get Smartr Podcast – an LCE Podcast
Legacy thinking is draining value from capital assets.
In this first of a two-part conversation, R. Keith Mobley, a globally respected voice in industrial maintenance and reliability, joins us to reframe how organizations view maintenance. With over 60 years of experience across engineering, finance, and executive leadership, Keith brings a powerful message: maintenance isn’t just about keeping things running, it’s about creating long-term value.
Drawing from the newly released second edition of his book Maintenance Management Re-envisioned, Keith explains how reactive mindsets, vague mission statements, and misaligned priorities continue to undermine asset performance. He introduces the principles of life cycle asset management and outlines how organizations can begin shifting toward a more strategic, sustainable model, without increasing costs or relying on technology as a quick fix.
This episode is packed with insights for plant managers, reliability engineers, and executive leaders ready to challenge the status quo and unlock the full potential of their maintenance strategy.
