Customer Reviews

Best all-inclusive Maintenance and Manufacturing reference!

Ron Moore has broken the traditional mould of Maintenance manuals with this book! This is an all inclusive comprehensive guide to managing, operating and maintaining a production facility. I highly recommend this book for both Operations and Maintenance / Reliability professionals. Covers everything from business Key Performance Indicators (KPI) to establishing meaningful vibration alarm limits. The book relates information in a storybook fashion using several imaginary facilities as examples, which makes it much easier (and more entertaining) to digest.

Forward to the Fundamentals

Ron's book is not only good for the Society of Maintenance and Reliability Professionals certification, it's great for educating upper management that cutting costs are not always the answer to driving improved capacity and plant reliability. Many times, investing in proactive behaviors outweigh saving our way to prosperity. When undergoing change efforts around reliability practices, I share this book with senior management, asking them to read the first two chapters if nothing else. Jeff Shiver, CMRP, CPMM

Great career development material

Ron Moore's knowledge and passion for business comes out in his book "Making Common Sense, Common Practice". I give this book to supervisors as required reading material when they are preparing for the Society of Maintenance & Reliability Society's - Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional Exam.
