Synopsis

Although Reliability is defined as the probability that equipment or asset will operate without failure throughout a prescribed interval. This book explains a much deeper meaning of reliability and why achieving World-Class Reliability is more challenging than achieving a World-Class Maintenance level. Every industry needs to survive and level up with its competition if they still want to operate and remain in business.

Here are just some of the highlights of this book:
- Why Maintenance Cannot Improve Reliability
- Changing the Maintenance Culture
- The Concept of Life Cycle for Industries
- The Importance of Life Cycle Costing in the Reliability Strategy
- The Concept of Early Equipment Management
- Cost Cutting the Wrong Way to Save on Maintenance Costs
- From World Class Maintenance to World Class Reliability
- The Need for a Structured Asset Management System ISO 55001
- Extending the Life Cycle of Equipment
- Can Failures and Breakdowns be Totally Zero Out as Others Claim?
- Why Reliability is Everybody's Responsibility
- Precision Maintenance Explained
- Requirements for Precision Maintenance
- Other Applications of Precision Maintenance
- Why are Operators Important in the Reliability Strategy?
- What Empowerment can do to Operators?
- Selecting the Correct Interval for Maintenance Tasks
- The Need for Spare Parts Management
- The Most Important KPI in the Storeroom
- Step-by-Step Activities to Improve your Storeroom
- Point by Point Comparison between RCM and TPM
- Requirements for TPM JIPM Certification
- Are Industries Ready for Maintenance 4.0?

Industries must understand that having World Class Maintenance is very different from achieving World-Class Reliability and why the latter is much more difficult to achieve. There are also many developments and changes today in maintenance that industries 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 adopting them. These strategies must be adopted by industries for their own advantage because, in today's generation, the law of the jungle applies, survive now or be left behind.

What makes this book special is two maintenance heavyweights are involved in this book whom I admired and respect dearly. 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 cannot remain reactive forever, and much can be done to improve the maintenance function.

• 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.

• Maintenance-Roadmap to Reliability: This is a sequel to my first book on World Class Maintenance Management the 12 Disciplines. This book provides a detailed systematic roadmap on how to achieve a high level of reliability for industries' equipment and assets. There is no better way to start the journey to reliability other than to go back to the basics and address the very small problems we have in our plant. Big problems, unplanned breakdowns, and catastrophic failures are just an accumulation of small problems that have always been ignored in the first place.

• Reliability-A Shared Responsibility for Operators and Maintenance: This book is a sequel to my first and second book and speaks about the importance of having an operator and maintenance partnership for industries. The message of this book is simple and straightforward industries cannot escape the vicious cycle of being reactive unless they realize the importance of operators in the reliability strategy. It is time for the separation between operators and maintenance to end and finally a partnership to begin. Improving reliability is not the sole responsibility of the maintenance function. The message of this book is straightforward. Industries will continue to remain reactive if operators and maintenance remain a separate functions. These two should remain partners. Remember that when a failure happens, it is the operators that will experience the failure and not maintenance. These people are the first line of defense against equipment failures and breakdowns.

• Cutting-Edge Maintenance Management Strategies: This book also a sequel deals with the different cutting-edge maintenance strategies that must be adopted by industries for them to survive their competition. In industries today, the law of the jungle applies, survive or be left behind. Learn how these strategies can link together in building a solid maintenance structure in the plant. Finally understand Learn these cutting-edge maintenance strategies in helping build a reliability culture for industries.

Foreword Message by R. Keith Mobley

Rolly is totally unique and perhaps the most passionate person I have met, especially when it concerns reliability and maintenance. We have been sharing philosophies for the past year, and while I sometimes have trouble following his logic, it is clear we share far more than we disagree on. I admire his passion, his energy, and his absolute commitment to helping others in their journey towards reliability. At times, our philosophical discussions had become heated, but in the end, we have always come to a consensus that both could accept. This book can be difficult to follow at times, but there is knowledge to be gained when you take the time to really read and understand what he is trying to help you understand.

As you read his book, remember that reliability is more than mean-time-between-failure. Reliability is universal, dimensionless, and immeasurable; it either is or is not. It, or the absence of it, surrounds us every minute of every day and is ingrained into every facet of our personal, family, social, and professional or business life. Reliability manifests itself as the consistency of purpose, and dependability by always meeting commitments and the expectations of others; being steadfast and focused on goals, and objectives and creating a positive future, and being unfailing in meeting responsibilities. At first glance, these appear to be human characteristics, and they are, but they also apply to physical assets and the business and work processes that all enterprises depend upon each day.

Those that continue to believe that reliability only pertains to physical assets and is measured by mean-time-between-failures (MTBF) cannot see that the reliability of the processes, procedures and practices that govern asset design, procurement, operation, and maintenance are the variable that determinate that result in the measurable MTBF, which is really the symptom of unreliability. Without reliable business, work processes, and employees who execute them, physical asset reliability is impossible. Instead, the volatility and instability of the unreliability of the infrastructure, not the assets, determine their reliability.

Understanding the true magnitude of reliability defines a reliability leader. What differentiates reliable leaders from their peers and enables them to lead their organizations into a brighter future, one that would not have happened without their leadership? Reliability is an essential, foundational part of a viable enterprise's life cycle asset management process, but it must be more than just reliable assets defined by MTBF. Capital or tangible assets are the heart of any enterprise that relies on its ability to produce or manufacture products or, as in the case of facilities, to maintain conditions that occupants require. They are the engine that drives the revenue stream but can quickly become a demanding drain on the enterprise's cash flow and net operating profit when not effectively managed. Reliable processes, procedures, and practices are the framework, the infrastructure that binds the entire enterprise operations, including asset management, together. It provides stability, consistency, and dependability that are crucial to all aspects of the organization.
