If your industry is in this condition, then you are not alone and there is a way out.
 
There are 12 Disciplines in World Class Maintenance which the author grouped into three categories which include the Basic Discipline, The Maintenance Strategies, and The Advance Discipline. Each of these disciplines is explained in detail.

This book is written for every maintenance leader and manager out there who want to improve the way they maintain their equipment and assets' reliability to maximize their operations efficiently and effectively where the bottom line is to reduce the cost of doing maintenance. Achieving a World-Class Maintenance level will not happen overnight, a week, or a month since this is a long-term strategy.  There is no Silver Bullet Solution to maintenance.  This book will provide the reader a better understanding and perspective on reaching a level of World Class Maintenance that every industry seeks.
 
The author shares the life experiences and day-to-day struggles of maintenance people in industries in seeking better ways to manage and maintain their equipment and assets. This book contains real-life stories, struggles, and actual experiences of the author as he shares his passion and experience living with the day-to-day struggles of doing maintenance.
 
The book is easy to absorb as it is structured into three parts: the Basics, the Strategies, and the Advance Disciplines. The Twelve Disciplines are grouped accordingly into these three parts.  The book's message is straightforward since there is no better way to start any maintenance strategy than by going back to the basic discipline which is often ignored.  Big problems, unplanned breakdowns, and catastrophic failures are just an accumulation of small problems that have always been ignored and mostly neglected. The author strongly emphasizes the importance of operators' role in addressing these basic equipment conditions and why these people are very important in any reliability and maintenance strategy.

World Class Maintenance Management-The 12 Disciplines: Many industries are looking for ways to achieve a World Class Maintenance Management Level. This book details the 12 Disciplines of Maintenance to achieve a level of World Class Maintenance. The book is easy to absorb as it is structured into three parts: the Basics, the Strategies, and the Advance Disciplines. This book aims to address the very basics first before doing the strategies and the more advanced disciplines. This book will help guide industries on how to achieve a World Class Maintenance level. If you have been living the day-to-day pressures and struggles of doing maintenance, then this is definitely a book for you. The life of a maintenance human being is typically a struggle, as most industries end up being reactive all the time. This is the first of a series of books I wrote and still writing about the 12 disciplines of maintenance.

You may consider your industry to have a world-class quality product, a world-class service, a world-class safety, or you can declare that your industry has world-class facilities, but speaking about world-class maintenance is a different story and only a few companies ever reach this stage. While many industries will try, only the thoroughbred will succeed. This book is for every maintenance out there who wants to improve their equipment and assets' reliability to optimize their operations and dramatically reduce maintenance costs. Let me be honest with you, achieving world-class maintenance will not happen overnight, a week, a month, or even a year. It will take time, but it is not impossible. Read this book. It will provide you a better understanding and perspective on reaching that level that every industry seeks. This book depicts the life and struggles of maintenance in seeking better ways to manage and maintain their equipment and assets. The author shares his passion and experience with the day-to-day struggles in a maintenance life. Interestingly, the author and his book are that even though he hails from the Philippines, the problems, issues, and struggles we face in maintenance are generic and can be felt by any industry from whatever place, race, and culture. This book contains real-life stories, struggles, and actual experiences by the author in his maintenance and current Reliability and Maintenance Consultant career. My intent in writing this book is to provide a strategic framework on what it takes for an industry to achieve a World Class Maintenance Management structure and let each one of us understand the role of maintenance in our industry. The role of the maintenance function is not about eliminating failures but understanding that each failure has its own unique and distinctive consequences. Maintenance is not about repairing and scheduling equipment for repair. It is much more than that and each of us who belongs to the maintenance function should stand proud because maintenance plays a major role in the success or failure of any industry.

From the Inside Flap

Foreword Message from Bob Nelms of Failsafe

Life is full of unexpected surprises. Rolly has been one of these surprises. I've known Rolly for about seven years - the last two years as a professional affiliate. In the beginning, our relationship was totally via email. Then, 2 years ago, we met face-to-face in Indonesia when he attended a Root Cause Analysis class I taught for one of my clients. Looking back on that initial encounter, it must have been very difficult for Rolly. As you will find out when reading this book, Rolly has a broad background in numerous industries, has experience with a diverse array of cultures, an incredible amount of professional contacts, and most importantly, some life-changing experiences that have molded him. He had to stifle what was inside him for 4-days while sitting in my class - a bundle of energy wanting to scream out to the humanity all around him.

About 6 months ago, Rolly announced that he was going to write a book. He asked if I could write an introduction. One month ago, I received an electronic copy of the book. It was 314 pages. My eyebrows rose a bit because of all the other work I wanted to do, but I opened the first page and started reading. Almost immediately, I knew this was going to be a different book. Rolly's introductory comments were a release of pent-up enthusiasm, bursting with credits, especially acknowledging his Maker. His preface started with a story called "Last Man Standing," a testament to those first experiences that significantly molded our lives. As it turned out, Rolly drenched this potentially dull book with many of these experiences, and in the process, introduced "Mang Tibo." You'll have to read the book to find out about Mang Tibo, but I assure you it will be worthwhile.

I should explain that I purchased a used backhoe to help me with where I lived six years ago. I had never operated a backhoe before and have more or less learned how to use it through trial and error. It is a sturdy piece of equipment powered by a diesel engine that drives a powerful hydraulic system. I use the backhoe an average of 50 hours a year, so maintenance has never been a significant issue. But the backhoe developed a leak in its hydraulic system this year that made me start to wonder: Shouldn't I be doing more to maintain this significant investment? As I began reading Rolly's book, I found myself thinking about my backhoe and then my automobiles, lawnmowers, house, and even myself. I've heard about things like "Autonomous Maintenance" before, but my mind would drift whenever I did. "That's just some Japanese stuff that would only work in Japan." As Rolly says, "How wrong I was!" After being fascinated by Rolly's description, I cleaned my backhoe as best as possible, read the owner's manual, purchased a shop manual, then hired a backhoe mechanic and asked him to take me through the Preventative Maintenance checklist, one thing at a time asking him questions at each point.

I learned from Rolly the importance of initial cleaning and routine inspection as part of my ownership duties. I learned to make all the lubrication points visible and not fix something unless I knew what I was doing. Although this might sound ridiculous, my backhoe and I have become partners. My mindset towards it has changed. After my backhoe, I moved to my riding lawnmowers. I cannot say I'm on top of everything because I've started so far behind. But I imagine that what I am going through is the same as anyone would go through in a complex industrial facility where things might have gotten a bit out of hand. Aside from the many interesting and engaging stories to drive home his points and his Philippine humor, which makes me smile when I think about it, you will also see that Rolly is a meticulous planner. His many detailed charts help suggest how to get where you need to be, wherever you might be starting. One final thought: Do NOT miss the last chapter and the story of Comia. Rolly knows how to begin and how to end.
