Author Stephen J. Thomas delivers attention‐grabbing and persuasive arguments in the Workbook for Improving Maintenance and Reliability Through Cultural Change.  This valuable reference text is directed at middle managers in the manufacturing and process industries who desire the improvement of maintenance and reliability performance at the plant level.   This is a must read.
