The 15 Most Common Obstacles to World-Class Reliability by Don Nyman

The 15 Most Common Obstacles to World-Class Reliability identifies and explores fifteen cultural obstacles commonly encountered by most organizations in their pursuit of World-Class Reliability.

In The Fifth Discipline, Senge describes how companies can rid themselves of the learning “disabilities” that threaten their productivity and success by adopting the strategies of learning organizations—ones in which new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, collective aspiration is set free, and people are continually learning how to create results they truly desire.

Lights Out, a behind-the-scenes exposure of why our electricity system is headed for a state of emergency-and what can be done to head it off. 

This work by Ricky Smith and David A. Martin is written in a format that allows you to quickly read and absorb the lessons in a couple of hours.  After the initial read, it automatically converts into a KPI reference manual you can use time and again as you work to improve performance.
Ricky Smith and Jerry Wilson have produced a second edition of this quick, easy read for any organization looking for a number of focused, easily implemented actions which can be expected to produce big improvements in effectiveness.
