Reliability - A Shared Responsibility for Operators and Maintenance. 3rd and 4th Discipline of World Class Maintenance Management E-BOOK

This is the 3rd of a series of books on World Class Maintenance Management - The 12 Disciplines that discuss about creating a solid partnership with operators. This book had to be written for industries to realize what they are missing.  For as long as operators and maintenance in industries remain a separate function, Industries will continue to be reactive.  This book does not only cover the principles and concept of Autonomous Maintenance, but provides the nitty-gritty details on how it is implemented starting from Step 0 to Step 7 which took me years to understand.  My goal is to reach out to industries and convince them that these two cannot co-exists without each other and that it is time for both operators and maintenance to finally work together to improve not only the productivity but also the Reliability of their equipment and assets. Separating these two only creates feud and friction between them.  Some highlights of this book includes:
