Implementing Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) in Mehr Petrochemical Company (MHPC
Introduction This paper is about implementing CMMS in MHPC when I was working there as maintenance planning and Inspection Head....
Reliability Engineering Decoded.
Practical insights, proven frameworks, and real-world experience — for maintenance and reliability professionals who want to do the work right.
I'm Mike Maleki — a Maintenance Planner and Asset Management Expert
with over 17 years of hands-on experience across petrochemicals, polymer manufacturing, food production, and nuclear mining. I hold a BS in Industrial Engineering and MSC in Finance. I have a PMP® and CMRP designations, and I’ve spent my career turning complex reliability challenges into practical, measurable results.
From designing risk-based maintenance strategies for uranium mining operations to leading teams through major turnarounds in polymer petrochemical plants — I’ve done the work, written the procedures, and built the systems. Reliability Decoded is where I share what actually works.
Reliability Decoded is where I translate that experience into practical knowledge you can use. Whether you’re a practitioner sharpening your toolkit or an organization that needs consulting support — you’re in the right place.
Systems-Level Expertise
I don't just know reliability theory — I've authored asset management plans, maintenance procedures, and work instructions that are live in operating facilities today. My frameworks are drawn directly from ISO 55000, SMRP best practices, and 15+ years of field experience.
End-to-End Program Development
From asset criticality analysis and PM strategy selection through CMMS master data setup, KPI tracking, and continuous improvement — I've built complete programs from the ground up for organizations preparing for first production, and for mature operations looking to optimize.
Accessible, Applied Knowledge
Reliability engineering has a reputation for being dense and academic. My mission is to change that — translating industry standards, RCM principles, Weibull statistics, and predictive maintenance frameworks into clear, actionable guidance that practitioners can actually use.
Plugging a leaking tube isn’t a fix — it’s a deadline.
Look at this tube sheet. Those sealed tubes weren't fouled; they were plugged. Each one was leaking, so it was...
The vessel gets maintained. The system protecting it doesn’t.
We Maintain What We Can See. We Ignore What We Can't. That's the Real Risk. Look at the photo as...
