This book also explains the deeper meaning of reliability and why achieving world-class reliability is more challenging than achieving a world-class maintenance level.

When I first published my first book on World Class Maintenance Management, the 12 Disciplines, in 2009, I thought I have written everything to achieve a level of World-Class Maintenance Management. Industries must understand that having World Class Maintenance is very different from achieving World-Class Reliability and why the latter is much difficult to achieve. There are also many developments and changes today in maintenance that we need to adopt. Writing this book is not only for the readers to understand the new trends in maintenance but also for them to understand the reason for using them. These strategies must be adopted by industries for their own advantage because, in today's phase, the law of the jungle applies, and that is, survive now or be left behind.
