Editorial Review:
Make more money in the manufacturing business - but not through cost-cutting and employee layoffs. This book clearly describes how you can turn common sense into common practice to achieve superior manufacturing performance and low-cost production.
Presenting the best practices of the best manufacturing companies in the world, this book presents proven models for achieving world-class performance. Using a fictional company called Beta International, the book illustrates the success and failures of the world's premier manufacturers, illustrating a stable path of growth for almost any manufacturing company.
Through the experience of Beta International, you'll see how to increase uptime, lower costs, increase market share, maximize asset utilization, apply benchmarks and best practices, and improve many other aspects that ultimately raise your company's performance to the level of world-class. 'Making Common Sense Common Practice' takes a good, hard look at plant design, procurement, parts management, installation and maintenance, training and even offers a chapter on how to implement a computerized maintenance management system.

Making Common Sense Common Practice, models for manufacturing excellence Reviews:
Forward to the Fundamentals 
2008-06-20 - Ron's book is not only good for the Society of Maintenance and Reliability Professionals certification, it's great for educating upper management that cutting costs are not always the answer to driving improved capacity and plant reliability. Many times, investing in proactive behaviors outweigh saving our way to prosperity. When undergoing change efforts around reliability practices, I share this book with senior management, asking them to read the first two chapters if nothing else.

Great career development material
2007-01-11 - Ron Moore's knowledge and passion for business comes out in his book "Making Common Sense, Common Practice". I give this book to supervisors as required reading material when they are preparing for the Society of Maintenance & Reliability Society's - Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional Exam.
