Description
This is the 3rd of a series of books on World Class Maintenance Management which covers the partnership between operators and maintenance in industries and why this is important. For as long as operators and maintenance in industries remain a separate function, Industries will continue to be reactive. My goal is to reach out to industries and convince them that these two cannot co-exists without each other and that it is time for both operators and maintenance to finally work together to improve not only the productivity but also the Reliability of their equipment and assets. Separating these two only creates feuds and friction between them. In most cases, the problems in industries remain deeply rooted in their organization, from how their organization was structured, their policies, procedures they wrote, and the rules they imposed upon their employees. This book may sound contradictory to many of the policies industries imposed, and all I ask from the reader is to finish reading this book so that the reader can understand my reasons behind the contradiction. Some highlights of this book include:
- Why Operators are Important in the Reliability Strategy

One of the biggest problems in most industries is the separation between both operators and maintenance. Due to this, operators just remain switch flickers and are frequently provided with a job description to operate the equipment. This book explains that operators are always the first line of defense on any equipment-related failures and breakdowns since they are the closest people that will experience the failure first before maintenance. Operators need to understand the earliest symptoms of failures.
