Making Common Sense Common Practice 6th Edition

. The 6th edition includes several changes and additions, including a discussion of common sense, why it's not all that common, and how to make it so; a discussion of the "soft stuff", which is the hard stuff - leadership, alignment, teamwork, engaging the entire workforce, and managing cultural change - and how to make it easier; an entire chapter on reliability and safety, including data demonstrating that a reliable plant is a safe, and cost effective plant; a more detailed approach for the effective implementation of an Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) measurement; additional data on how poorly so many capital projects are implemented, along with case study data on two different approaches to avoid this - lowest installed cost vs. life cycle cost; a case study comparing the difference between destructive shift competition and constructive shift competition; additional discussion of the RCM graphs - age related vs. random failure curves, and some of the subtle, but important differences; a discussion of the "Golden Rules" for assuring machinery reliability; a discussion/case study on sustaining reliability once you've achieved a high level of performance (sometimes senior managers want to stop doing the things that got you there, putting your performance at risk); a discussion of an effective way to measure to measure so-called "wrench time", and using it to remove the obstacles from workforce success, as opposed to simply see if they're working; and, managing an aging workforce, something familiar to the author.
