Touted by maintenance and reliability professionals around the world as a "must-read for anyone who wants to stay competitive in today's industrial environment," and "By far the best book on maintenance management," Maintenance and Reliability Best Practices is an even more useful resource in its new 3rd edition.

Now in 2-colors to clearly identify main ideas and emphasize important data in illustrations, the book also includes additional self-assessment questions in each chapter. The entire work has been updated to reflect the latest developments in technology and thinking, with innovative material related to leadership, change management, ISO standards, maintenance optimization, and communication, while sticking to the practical, common-sense approach that led readers to call it "a great book for developing a road map to reliability," and "the perfect guide for setting up an effective maintenance program." For anyone in the fields of engineering, purchasing, finance, maintenance, reliability, or production, and especially for those preparing to sit for a professional maintenance and reliability certification, there's simply no better tool or resource than renowned Ramesh Gulati's Maintenance and Reliability Best Practices, 3e.

"I have been a student of M&R for many years, though always in non-technical positions as a professional marketer for products and services companies in the industrial space. I realized whenever I studied Maintenance and Reliability Best Practices in preparation for the CMRP exam, that I was on the right track. Thank you for allowing me to successfully pass the exam as a result of your book on top of the nearly eight years I've been in the industry. I appreciate you very much. I just received notice that I passed the CMRP from The Society for Maintenance and Reliability Professionals! Thank you for the opportunity to learn from you and for your encouragement. I'm very proud to be a CMRP!"

-Amy Campbell, CMRP
