Reviews

I have been a student of M&R for many years, though always in non-technical positions as a professional marketer for products and services companies in the industrial space. I realized whenever I studied Maintenance and Reliability Best Practices in preparation for the CMRP exam, that I was on the right track. Thank you for allowing me to successfully pass the exam as a result of your book on top of the nearly eight years I've been in the industry. I appreciate you very much. I just received notice that I passed the CMRP from The Society for Maintenance and Reliability Professionals! Thank you for the opportunity to learn from you and for your encouragement. I'm very proud to be a CMRP!--Amy Campbell, CMRP

All you need to do is open this book to any page, and the powerful wisdom of Ramesh Gulati is readily available! Make sure you get the new third edition loaded with bonus knowledge and experience.-- Terrence O'Hanlon

I enjoyed your book tremendously and after reading it several times (along with 20 years of maintenance experience), I was able to take and pass the CMRP certification. Thank you!--Steve J. Firko, CMRP
