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. | ||
