Although Reliability is defined as the probability that equipment or asset will operate without failure throughout a prescribed interval. This book explains a much deeper meaning of reliability and why achieving World-Class Reliability is more challenging than achieving a World-Class Maintenance level. Every industry needs to survive and level up with its competition if they still want to operate and remain in business. Here are just some of the highlights of this book:

- Cost Cutting the Wrong Way to Save on Maintenance Costs
- From World Class Maintenance to World Class Reliability
- The Need for a Structured Asset Management System ISO 55001
- Extending the Life Cycle of Equipment
- Can Failures and Breakdowns be Totally Zero Out as Others Claim?
- Why Reliability is Everybody's Responsibility
- Precision Maintenance Explained
- Requirements for Precision Maintenance
- Other Applications of Precision Maintenance
- Why are Operators Important in the Reliability Strategy?
- What Empowerment can do to Operators?
- Selecting the Correct Interval for Maintenance Tasks
- The Need for Spare Parts Management
- The Most Important KPI in the Storeroom
- Step-by-Step Activities to Improve your Storeroom
- Point by Point Comparison between RCM and TPM
- Requirements for TPM JIPM Certification
- Are Industries Ready for Maintenance 4.0?
Industries must understand that having World Class Maintenance is very different from achieving World-Class Reliability and why the latter is much more difficult to achieve. There are also many developments and changes today in maintenance that industries 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 adopting them. These strategies must be adopted by industries for their own advantage because, in today's generation, the law of the jungle applies, survive now, or be left behind.
What makes this book special is two of the people I admired most in maintenance are part of this book. Mr. Joel Levitt, a veteran from maintenance and book author, has written a book review, and my dear friend, the Godfather, R.Keith Mobley, for writing the foreword message of this book. These are two of the people I admired and respect in the field of reliability and maintenance. This book contains 15 Chapters. This book is not only a sequel to my other books, but it is also an enhancement of my previous books. Industries must accept that they cannot remain reactive forever, and much can be done to improve the maintenance function.

Rolly previously worked with Amkor Technology Philippines as a TPM Senior Engineer, an industry engaged in manufacturing Integrated Circuit products and spearheaded their Planned Maintenance organization, composed of maintenance managers and engineers. He was also responsible for dramatically reducing unplanned breakdowns in their TPM Journey and RCM implementation on their Facilities AHU units and substation equipment.
Rolly is currently working as an independent reliability and maintenance consultant. Rolly is a graduate of Mechanical Engineering from Mapua Institute of Technology in the Philippines, batch 1985, and passed the licensure board examination the following year in 1986. With 30 years of solid experience, he had worked in various industries from shipping, woodworking, foundry, cast-iron machining, assembly lines, semiconductor manufacturing, and the mining industry.

He provides in-house training, consultation, and facilitation to different maintenance and reliability best practices.
R. Keith Mobley in my honest and humble opinion is probably one of the prophets on reliability and maintenance and has written more than 20+++ books on this subject. I am lucky that he is one of my connection on Linkedin and consider him as a dear and wonderful friend. 50 years of combined business, finance, engineering and consulting experience. He is one of the main Principal Consultant of Life Cycle Engineering, Inc. He have written 25 textbooks including McGraw-Hill's Maintenance Engineering Handbook and Elsevier's Plant Engineering Handbook, Total Plant Performance Management, as well as a comprehensive plant engineering book series.
