|Excellent Guide for Maintenance Improvement,
This book is packed with common sense approaches to improving maintenance programs and enabling maintenance support of traditional operations lean programs. After reading this book, I had a better idea how I could implement maintenance department practices to support the plant operational excellence programs. I found this book important enough to purchase one for each of my supervisors and am making it required reading for this year. I highly recommend this book if for no other reason than for reference. It is a must-have in today’s production environment.
