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.
The change dynamic portrayed by Thomas is linked through eight clear elements: Leadership, Work process, Structure, Group learning, Technology, Communications, Inter‐relationships, Rewards.
The author effectively demonstrates how managers and companies can break the cycle of failed improvement programs by using cultural change for significant and lasting improvements in plant performance.
