The quest for reliability is long overdue! In the case of many
operations, realization of sustained reliability is still a work in
progress. Very few organizations have completed the journey to
world-class reliability. The vast majority still operate within a
reactive culture, allowing response to repetitive failures to consume an
excessive proportion of already limited maintenance resources, and
leaving too few for performance of any proactive activities.
In today's competitive international environment, enterprise survival is
a battle of the fittest. To survive, organizations must achieve
"world-class" stature, characterized by wellness, readiness, and
application required for a company to successfully compete globally.
That's why Maintenance and Operational Reliability is so important.
This work is organized by the foundational requirements and 5 Pillars of
Maintenance/Reliability Excellence that contain the 24 Essential
Building Blocks, as depicted throughout the book. This pillar graphic
shows the functions, management techniques, systems, information sources
and performance management vital to the maintenance and reliability
process, and also serves as an important visual aid for the education of
the entire organization.
So, how is the ultimate, but challenging reliability goal to be
achieved? Are you prepared to manage, support, process, and interpret
the magnitude of information in real time, critical to making the right
business decisions to achieve a competitive advantage? The authors, two
veteran maintenance and reliability experts, have collected all the
essentials leading to reliability here, in one practical resource,
connecting and sequencing the integral pieces for world-class
reliability.
