Podcast with Materials.Business by Infinity Growth
In this episode of the Material Business Podcast, host Monica Hernandez speaks with Sanya Mathura, a trailblazer in the field of lubrication and reliability engineering. Sanya shares her journey from being the only female in her engineering class to becoming the CEO of Strategic Reliability Solutions Limited.
The conversation delves into the importance of reliability in engineering, the critical role of lubrication in rotative equipment, and the challenges faced by women in STEM. Sanya emphasizes the need for collaboration and knowledge sharing in the industry, as well as the significance of empowering the next generation of female engineers. In this conversation, Sanya discusses the critical aspects of lubrication, emphasizing the importance of viscosity, the selection of appropriate lubricants, and the cost implications of lubrication choices. She highlights the need for effective communication across departments to ensure operational efficiency and reliability. Sanya also shares insights into future trends in lubrication technology and encourages new talent to explore opportunities in this field. The conversation concludes with a focus on the value of hands-on experience and mentorship in the industry.
Join Greg Christensen and Sanya as they talk about key strategies for implementing a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), with a focus on gaining leadership support and maximizing efficiency. They also dive into actionable advice on documenting operational issues, quantifying costs, and linking CMMS benefits to business objectives. The importance of financial justification and preparation for organizational change and, as an UpKeep Ambassador, Sanya discusses how leveraging UpKeep can enhance your CMMS experience and drive better maintenance results.
Sanya chats with Shannon Bumgarner about breaking barriers in the STEM world and how this sets the tone for our future generations. We need to get more women involved in these STEM fields to bring more diversity of thought into what we're doing to create more innovative solutions. This is all needed to ensure that we can evolve as a society and truly make a difference.
They also chat about some barriers that still exist for women in these male populated environments and things we need to start thinking about differently.
REDLIST - Is my oil Degrading, what can I do?
In this episode, we will talk about ways to identify if your industrial oil is degrading. The first step towards understanding this is to be able to identify the various degradation mechanisms and how they can occur. We will cover all the 6 mechanisms (oxidation, Thermal Degradation, Microdieseling, Electrostatic Spark Discharge, Additive Depletion & Contamination) and tell tale signs of what you can do to identify if any of these mechanisms are present in your oil.

Steven Dobie & Sanya had the treat of being able to sit with Shane Turcott of Steel Image!
Steven & Sanya both attended Shane’s “Introduction to Examining Fractures” course recently and we got to talk a bit about the different types of fractures and the material that he covers in the course.
It was very exciting as Shane delved into some of the ways to identify certain types of fractures. He also gave us an insider’s experience of the most common types of fractures and what he has seen over the years in this industry.
Sanya & Blair discuss the Lubrication and Reliability Virtual summit and her topic of, "Exploring the root causes of microdieseling".
They discuss getting past the physical roots and into the human and systemic / latent roots which once solved can prevent the failure from recurring.
They also chat a bit about the activities and some of the featured speakers for LRVS 2021.
Sanya and Steven Dobie of Maintenance Disrupted talk about the evolution of Strategic Reliability Solutions Ltd, the response to Sanya's book Lubrication Degradation Mechanisms: A Complete Guide and a couple of other things she's working on!
