Book synopsis

In "Improving Maintenance and Reliability through Cultural Change", Steve Thomas explains to middle managers in the manufacturing and process industries how to improve maintenance and reliability performance at the plant level by changing their organizations culture. In so doing, he demystifies the concept of organizational culture and links it with the eight elements of change: leadership, work process, structure, group learning, technology, communication, inter-relationships, and rewards. He goes on to effectively demonstrate how to break the cycle of failed improvement programs and instead use cultural change to help make significant and lasting improvements in plant performance. It contains exercises that will provide an in-depth understanding of the material as it relates to the specific circumstances of your organization. It is logically organized, so that the workbook chapters complement the corresponding chapters in the book.

It contains numerous writing exercises, checklists and work activities, helping to clarify the issues that exist within your organization.
