What sets this book apart is the focus on how to engage all employees in the TPM cycle of improvement, not just the maintenance team or engineering. It is a foundational system that should be at the heart of every manufacturing and utility operation as it provides the reliability and stability required for successful and profitable value adding performance.
The book also acknowledges that the digital and technologically driven Industry 4.0 revolution is an important enabler, but it is the individual and team skills that will continue to make the difference, through top-down proactive and visible leadership to deliver bottom-up engagement
