    Our first interviewee was Rick Baldridge, Chair of SMRP. Rick, who is also the Corporate Reliability Excellence Process Leader at Cargill Incorporated, answered a number of though-provoking questions, including:

    • What commercial trends are steering the maintenance function?
    • Which legislative moves is SMRP watching in 2011?
    • What can organizations do to recruit new talent for maintenance and reliability?
    • What fraction of the plant budget should the maintenance function represent?
