Stop Cost-Cutting, Start Optimizing:
Strategic Blueprint for Operational Excellence
Overview
Most organizations try to cost-cut their way to prosperity, but you cannot shrink your way to greatness. If you are stuck in a cycle where Maintenance is blamed for downtime while Operations runs equipment into the ground and Procurement buys on low price, you have a system failure, not a repair problem. This book provides the specific models to align Marketing, Manufacturing, and Engineering into a single reliability strategy.
This is not a repair manual for fixing broken machines. It is a business strategy guide for fixing broken plants.
“It is the best book on the subject of manufacturing excellence that I have come across.”

What’s New in the 6th Edition?
- The "Soft Stuff" is the Hard Stuff: New strategies for mastering the cultural and leadership challenges that derail 70% of initiatives.
- The Brain Drain Solution: A specific framework for managing the risks of an aging workforce.
- Safety = Profit: A new chapter [Chapter 4] proving the direct correlation between reliability, safety, and cost-effectiveness.
-

“I’ve studied the book from cover to cover. It’s fantastic.”
Mike Webb, Division Manager – Gas Operations, Vector Ltd., New Zealand
What this Book will help you do
- Locate the "Hidden Plant": Capture lost capacity without spending capital by measuring losses against ideal, not budget, using the OEE/AU & Loss Accounting Model.
- Stop Defect Influx: Prove to leadership that you cannot maintain your way to reliability when defects are introduced upstream using The Reliability Process Diagram.
- Defend Your Budget: Justify the initial rise in costs required to implement reliability by showing Finance the "Bow Wave" Effect Graph.
- End the "Low Bid" Trap: Move Procurement from price-based buying to value-based buying using the Lifecycle Cost Commitment Curve.
-
Align the Boardroom: Stop the conflict between Sales promises and Production reality using the Marketing and Manufacturing Alignment Model.
Who is it for?
- The Plant Manager: Who is tired of arbitrary budget cuts that destroy long-term asset health.
- The Reliability Engineer: Who needs the financial language and business models to get buy-in from Operations and Engineering.
-
The Maintenance Manager: Who knows that "fixing it faster" is not a strategy.
“Ron Moore makes an eloquent argument for the strategic role that maintenance needs to play in modern manufacturing.”
Rick Dunn, Editor, Plant Engineering Magazine
“It’s a great book, a continuing tool for improvement.”

The Payoff Calculation (ROI)
The price of this book is negligible compared to the cost of a single hour of unplanned downtime or one poorly specified capital project. If this guide helps you prevent just one "low bid" purchase that would have caused years of chronic failure, it pays for itself 1,000 times over.
