Making Common Sense Common Practice: Models for Manufacturing Excellence

Ron Moore has broken the traditional mould of Maintenance manuals with this book! This is an all inclusive comprehensive guide to managing, operating and maintaining a production facility. I highly recommend this book for both Operations and Maintenance / Reliability professionals. Covers everything from business Key Performance Indicators (KPI) to establishing meaningful vibration alarm limits. The book relates information in a storybook fashion using several imaginary facilities as examples, which makes it much easier (and more entertaining) to digest.

Very good read for anyone who wants to improve the management skills and maintenance strategies

I am a training manager and purchased these for a course I teach. The books were delivered quickly and are a good read

Good comprehensive look at all aspects of what makes a reliable manufacturing/process company. Reads well with true to life examples. Good form all levels in the organization.

Books were what we needed to continue our plant improvements, they were given to managers to better understand the changes we are going through.

Ron's book is not only good for the Society of Maintenance and Reliability Professionals certification, it's great for educating upper management that cutting costs are not always the answer to driving improved capacity and plant reliability. Many times, investing in proactive behaviors outweigh saving our way to prosperity. When undergoing change efforts around reliability practices, I share this book with senior management, asking them to read the first two chapters if nothing else.Jeff Shiver, CMRP, CPMM

Mr. Moore knows his stuff, but his delivery is awfully dry. Each chapter somewhat repeats the highlights of the previous, for instance. In my opinion, his points are very important and can help your business greatly, but he could have gotten them across in a whitepaper.

Ron Moore's knowledge and passion for business comes out in his book "Making Common Sense, Common Practice". I give this book to supervisors as required reading material when they are preparing for the Society of Maintenance & Reliability Society's - Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional Exam.

I had the pleasure to sit into a 1 day session with Ron Moore. If you cannot experience him life you certeinly have to read this book from him. He found a way to make the common sense that is unfortunately not so common very obvious and shows the way to common practice.Life experience packed in this book to share with us. Must read for all maintenance and manufacturing people.

Great book...
