Reliability in All its Simplicity is Difficult but Possible to Achieve
When I first published my first book on World Class Maintenance Management, the 12 Disciplines, in 2009, I thought I have written everything to achieve a level of World-Class Maintenance Management. I learned that having World Class Maintenance is very different from achieving World Class Reliability, which is much harder to achieve through the years. There are also many developments and changes today in maintenance that we need to adopt. Writing this book is not only for the readers to understand the new trends in maintenance but also for them to understand the reason for using them. These strategies must be adopted by industries for their own advantage because, in today's phase, the law of the jungle applies, and that is, survive now or be left behind.
What makes these books special is two of the people I admired most in maintenance are part of this book. Mr. Joel Levitt, a veteran from maintenance and book author, has written a book review and my dear friend, the Godfather, R.Keith Mobley, for writing the foreword message of this book. These are two of the people I admired and respect in the field of reliability and maintenance. This book contains 15 Chapters.
This book is not only a sequel to my other books, but it is also an enhancement of my previous books. Industries must accept that they can not remain reactive forever, and much can be done to improve the maintenance function. I have also explained why it is important for c-level people in any industry to adopt these cutting-edge maintenance strategies for their benefit, why it should be done, and their role.
