Very interesting, very easy to read with a lot of wisdom. Overall, a lot of good information was presented in a very simple language. So, the challenge is how can you make professionals read this? play out of great value to the story. Your book Joel is a real piece of art. You wrote it in such a way that it is relatable to everyone. It didn’t hurt that I have a soft spot for superhero comics. 🙂 Thanks for sharing

Joel Levitt is one of the maintenance gurus I admire and have much respect for. I have purchased some of his books which I used for reference. There are many authors out there, which you will have a difficult time digesting the contents of the book. Joel has found a way of overcoming this by writing a book in an animated format where it is straightforward to understand.

Hey Joel, Thanks for letting me read this. You are one of my early career inspirations for helping people in maintenance. A long time ago, you sent me a cassette tape out of the blue that included “we remember Noah’s flood because we just think about disasters, not the work of keeping them from happening.” Many, many thanks

From a higher-level, I would say that I like the overall concept. I recall one of the presenters at the Las Vegas reliability convention saying that one of the biggest problems is that people are no longer readers. This approach might help solve that problem.
This is another great publication, Joel. What a great novel. With the challenges we have with getting new people into the trades and current trades retiring we are pushing fewer people to do more. Maintenance education publications that you create, with the great graphics you use, engage a variety of teaching methods that work for a broad spectrum of readers.

I really enjoyed the new book …once again you pointed how lubrication, tribology and maintenence work are important for ‘moviements of the world’ Here in the countryside often peasants say the ‘one who lubricates is the one who drives’.

I am really finding the books quite useful. I think they are good base line educators and for shop floor. simple easy to understand messaging and like the light read, comic book approach which seems to work to audience. We definitely have a battle for reliability on our hands! I really want to engage the shop floor and these books are useful for that. one key initiative this year is the TLC aspect which i am combining with 6 senses (5 senses plus intuition) to utilize while engaging with TLC once small pilot area at a time across couple of our plants. Will let you know how it goes!

Joel has a great way of making what seems mundane into fun. His latest illustrated guide “graphic novella” Lubrication: The Key to Machine Immortality” is a quick fun read that teaches many of basics with easy-to-understand explanations of the principles of lubrication and its application practices. The “dad jokes” (as my kids would call them) made me chuckle but also made me remember some of the key points Joel was trying to make. This is a great tool to explain the importance of good lubrication practices to your maintenance staff (and some of your managers too). I highly recommend it.
