Some References

I have just purchased your books and they are fantastic, John Ewen, New Zealand 19 July 2010.

On a side note, just some feedback on your book on Basic RE. Although I was quite sceptical initially, this is a great book for people who are
'new starters'. Much clearer than some other literature that I've read in the past. My plan is to show this to our factory reliability manager
as we are working on some basic RE training for our technical support guys. Tom Spiranac, Queensland, 19 July 2010.

I am pleased to inform you that 'RDAM' has completely changed the way I look at maintenance. It is an excellent book and I've read quite a few on RCM (those by Bloom, Hinchcliffe/Smith and Coetzee all of these are very good too) but I have to say your book is much more coherent, is easier to read and provides a more structured and logical methodology. So I lookforward to your AM book.

"I enrolled in your MRE5004 unit. I borrowed your "How to improve Asset Operability & Maintainability" book from Monash Library and found it to be quite informative. I am interested to purchase all the books written by you. Guan Ming Wong, Western Australia 26 February 2010

"One more thing I want to say. When I got your "books" in March I tought "What did I pay $200 for.....some workshops materials?" Now, after I have read them and worked through them, I can say this is money well spent" (Ross Kolomichuk, Australia, 20 November 2007).

"Oh, before I forget, your books are lifesavers!!! I love them. What really helped me the most is the real world examples. I would have been so lost without them, you'll see when you get my project."  (Todd Wilen, ND USA)

"Thanks for your assistance. Your books have been very easy to follow and as such I thought that the LCC part would be interesting and informative" (Shailendra Ray, Australia, 13 November 2007)

"I must say how much I have enjoyed your book "RDAM formerly RCM".  I found it interesting and informative.  It is compact and has clarity, content, completeness, utility, and understandable format. (Allan Barry, Canada, 20 June 2006)

"Two of the manuals that I have recently used are the revised 2006 editions of Asset Output Optimization – Formerly Total Productive Maintenance and Reliability Driven Asset Management – Formerly Reliability Centered Maintenance.  Both have concise, compact style and content that enables immediate use in a very practical way.  A thorough background is presented to ensure the reader places the instruction in proper context.  Frequent use is made of figures and diagrams to re-enforce important items.  The author has an ability to present complex ideas in a clear, straightforward format that is easy to understand.  An organization's overall objectives of asset optimization in safety, efficiency, cost, and output are threaded throughout the texts.  Regardless of your asset management background, you and your organization will gain by use of these thoroughly usable manuals.  Highly recommended." (Allan Barry, Canada, 21 June 2006)

"So far I've only managed to have a quick look through the five books but the content and writing style is absolutely brilliant. I am confident that I will be a significantly more knowledgeable operation/maintenance employee after I've read
these books! " (David John Hughes, UK, 15 March 2006)

"I have also enjoyed your books, money well spent when I compare it to "Uptime" (by John Dixon)" (Chris Gripton, Australia, 14 Feb 2005);
