This could be the most important manual you ever buy! Here’s why:
While there are many good texts that describe Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) theory and strategy, little has been provided to stimulate the thinking and passion of the “people who do the work”. That is, until now. The purpose of this manual is to provide many examples of quick and often easy solutions that will nurture employee expertise and creativity, and encourage practice and sharing within your organization. “Seeing the Invisible” provides readers with an innovative and invaluable approach to equipment maintenance that builds productive capability, customer value, employee safety, engagement, and development.

"John’s structured maintenance system had a huge impact on the efficiency of our production lines. He does an excellent job explaining the basics, and has created a user-friendly set of tools that really had a profound impact on our equipment performance. By following his lead, our maintenance, engineering, and production teams were all aligned on a single goal. In fact, we were so successful in improving OEE, that we eliminated the need for redundant equipment. We used the extra floor space originally consumed by inefficient equipment to expand our manufacturing capabilities into new areas." Andy Johnson, Director of Operations, DENTSPLY Caulk
"A wise man once said that some of the best ideas are the simplest and John's "Seeing the Invisible" proves that. Single Point Lessons are a fantastic way to engage both machine operators and the dedicated maintenance staff in the plant so that together they both feel responsible for the equipment. The payoff is improved uptime, reduced breakdown cost, better quality product and a plant staff who feel better about what they do. Single Point Lessons worked in my plants and they can work in yours too." Bob Terhune, retired VP Operations, Masco Cabinetry
