What does it take for industries to achieve a level of World Class Maintenance? This book is written to answer that question. While many maintenance people in industries are struggling with the day-to-day pressures of doing maintenance as breakdowns are widespread, seem to be uncontrolled, and spreads like wildfire which ends up in soaring the cost of doing maintenance. 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. Some of the interesting highlights of this book include;¿ Why Are Most Industries Reactive?¿ Can Equipment Failures Be Eliminated?¿ The Need for a World-Class Maintenance Management¿ Basic, Intermediate, and Advance Disciplines¿ How to Make Training Work for your industry¿ Selecting the Right KPIs for maintenance¿ Why OEE Is Not a Perfect Measurement¿ An Inconvenient Truth about Preventive Maintenance¿ Survey on Top Problems in Preventive Maintenance¿ Why Autonomous Maintenance Is Important¿ RCM vs. TPM (which is the Best lb. for lb.) Improvement Strategy¿ Integrating RCM into the TPM Process¿ Why TPM is Hard to Implement¿ My TPM Experience - A Successful Failure¿ Why Many Root Cause Initiatives Fail?¿ The Lifeblood of Root Cause Failure Analysis¿ Where Do We End Our Probe in Root Cause Analysis?¿ What Will It take for the Maintenance to Get There?¿ What Does It Take to Change People? And many more.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 time strategy. Reading this book will provide the reader a better understanding and perspective on reaching that level that every industry seeks.The author shares life, pressure, 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. This 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 operators play in addressing these basic equipment conditions and why these people are very important in any reliability and maintenance strategy. Found out why.

Examining the potential benefits and risks of using artificial intelligence to advance global sustainability.Drones with night vision are tracking elephant and rhino poachers in African wildlife parks and sanctuaries; smart submersibles are saving coral from carnivorous starfish on Australia''s Great Barrier Reef; recycled cell phones alert Brazilian forest rangers to the sound of illegal logging. The tools of artificial intelligence are being increasingly deployed in the battle for global sustainability. And yet, warns Peter Dauvergne, we should be cautious in declaring AI the planet''s savior. In AI in the Wild, Dauvergne avoids the AI industry-powered hype and offers a critical view, exploring both the potential benefits and risks of using artificial intelligence to advance global sustainability.Dauvergne finds that corporations and states often use AI in ways that are antithetical to sustainability. The competition to profit from AI is entrenching technocratic management, revving up resource extraction, and turbocharging consumption, as consumers buy new smart devices (and discard their old, less-smart ones). Smart technology is helping farmers grow crops more efficiently, but also empowering the agrifood industry. Moreover, states are weaponizing AI to control citizens, suppress dissent, and aim cyberattacks at rival states. Is there a way to harness the power of AI for environmental and social good? Dauvergne argues for precaution and humility as guiding principles in the deployment of AI.
