Praise for Maintenance and Reliability Best Practices by Ramesh Gulati
“The standard for maintenance and reliability.”
“I have been in the business for over 40 years and still picked up a lot of great information from this book. Wish I would have been able to get it years ago. While it has a lot of facts and data, it is still written in a format that does not put you to sleep.”
“Wow! By far the best book on the subject I’ve ever read. The author is, thankfully, ageless.”
“This book encompasses everything it takes to be world class. I’ve been in manufacturing for 20 years. I learned more from this book than I did throughout my career in maintenance and production!”
“Best info on reliability I have found in one book.”
“I’m the Senior Advisor of service and asset management implementations and have often thought about writing a maintenance primer to help with my implementations. But upon reading Mr. Gulati’s book, I don’t need to anymore. It’s a perfect guide for setting up a maintenance program. I have and will continue to recommend it to my customers and colleagues.”
“Good reading for the maintenance professional. Lots of case study type examples. Perfect tool to prepare for CMRP certification testing.”
“Covers a wide range of topics from measurement and analysis techniques, to management strategies. Great read and reference.”
“As a practitioner and consultant in all the areas covered by this book, I am always interested in reviewing and using good references. This book covers all the important areas of the field without resorting to opinion rather than information. This is a good addition to any EAM professional’s library.”
“Provides a very understandable and commonsense approach to improving maintenance performance.”
“The best technical book I have read in recent years. It is filled with practical information. It’s written in an easy to understand format with real-life scenario discussion. It is a great book to comprehend all practices in maintenance and reliability areas. You need to read only this book if you want to take a professional certification, such as CMRP, or update your maintenance and reliability best practices.”
“This is absolutely the best Reliability book I have ever read. It is truly priceless.”
“The text was uniquely organized. Short questions tied to the previous chapter, which helped to emphasize and highlight important principles. I liked the author’s fresh approach. Good man.”
“This is a great book for anyone who wants to understand how to improve your equipment’s reliability and help your company drive down the cost of operating. Getting to a Reliable State in your plant is hard, continuous work that is necessary to be competitive. This material applies to any industry, and Ramesh does a great job of explaining the sections in easy to understand language. This book is for everyone in industry from Engineering, Purchasing, Finance, Maintenance, Production, and Senior Management.”
“A must read for anyone in the maintenance and reliability field. It is a comprehensive guide to understanding how M&R affects the bottom line.”
“Very easy to read. A great read for those in or going into this field.
“Great book to develop a road map for effective and efficient reliability.”
