Quest for Defect Elimination

By Joel D Levitt

What if you could train your entire maintenance team - and actually have them enjoy it?
Quest for Defect Elimination is unlike any maintenance training book you've seen. Written as a full-color graphic novel, it delivers the fundamentals of defect elimination in a format your team will actually read, remember, and use.
In manufacturing and equipment maintenance, defects are the enemy of reliability. Fewer defects mean better quality, higher yield, more energy efficiency, and far fewer unexpected breakdowns. Nearly every major improvement program of the last 40 years, from TPM to Six Sigma to RCM - shares one common thread: they eliminated defects.
Inside this book you'll learn: How to launch and sustain a steady pipeline of small improvement projectsWhy defect prevention beats defect correction every timeHow to overcome the passive and active resistance every reliability initiative facesThe mindset shift that separates world-class plants from average onesPerfect for: Maintenance supervisors, reliability engineers, plant managers, and anyone preparing for CMRP or CPMM certification. Also ideal for onboarding new technicians who need foundational knowledge fast.
Joel Levitt has trained over 17,000 maintenance professionals across 39 countries. His books are part of the SMRP Body of Knowledge. This is his most accessible work yet.
