Читать книгу The ''Maintenance Insanity'' Cure: Practical Solutions to Improve Maintenance Work - Roger D. Lee - Страница 10

Acknowledgments

Big thanks go to Jerry Wilson, a longtime friend, who wrote me a letter of introduction to Terrence O’Hanlon at ReliabilityWeb. Terry accepted my article that became the starting point for The Maintenance Insanity Cure. Terry connected me with Sean Flack, who helped me publish “A Glimpse at the Future” in their Uptime Magazine. After hearing the concept for this book, Sean recommended me to Judy Bass at Industrial Press, Inc. That article is now part of the last chapter of this book.

It has been a great honor to work closely with my editor Judy Bass at Industrial Press and compositor Patricia (Patty) Wallenburg at TypeWriting to make a collection of success stories and maintenance processes into the final version of The Maintenance Insanity Cure and make my dream come true. Without your guidance, this book would not have been possible.

Richard Rossow, thank you for graciously agreeing to write the Foreword for my book. I am grateful for your friendship and mentoring.

Special thanks go to Mike Peterson for all his computer knowledge and IT support to make all the files and figures meet the required specifications for all the readers to be able to enjoy and use.

My sincere thanks and appreciation go to Tom Ewing, Mark Bogle, Jeff Davis, Jerry Wilson, Ron Turner, Ron Broadwater, Mike Warner, Doug Brittain, Jeff Lee, and J. T. Pundt for sharing their insights; serving as mentors; testing, applying, and refining these processes; and being there for support as friends always are.
