Training From the Quest for Defect Elimination
Transform your team’s approach to reliability with this engaging, full-color graphic novel designed as an effective defect elimination and reliability training resource. Perfect as an onboarding tool or as part of a maintenance supervisor training program, this highly visual guide delivers practical maintenance defect elimination training in an accessible format that technicians will actually read, remember, and use.
Lubrication – The Key to Machine Immortality
Lubrication is the absolute bedrock of asset longevity, and this colorful, witty guide transforms a traditionally dry subject into an engaging maintenance skills training program. Masterfully blending real-world stories with maintenance humor training concepts, world-renowned expert Joel Levitt delivers practical preventive maintenance best practices training that covers everything from the science of tribology and viscosity to avoiding the dangers of under- and over-lubrication.
Quality is Not an Accident
Plant-floor mistakes cost money and risk lives, but this eye-opening guide provides a transformative blueprint for building true craftsmanship and operational pride. Moving far beyond traditional textbooks, Joel Levitt utilizes compelling maintenance storytelling training methods to deliver high-impact maintenance quality improvement training that exposes the 7 barriers to quality and the 7 sustainers of excellence.
The Elements of Great Maintenance Management
Stop fighting daily breakdowns and start eliminating the planning chaos that drains morale, risks safety, and torpedoes workforce productivity. Serving as an exceptional maintenance fundamentals training resource, this book covers basic maintenance ideas and the core fundamentals of maintenance and reliability through a witty, relatable narrative packed with graphic illustrations.
Training From the Stories of PM
What if one of the most technically dense subjects in industrial maintenance could be taught through a comic book? Joel Levitt bets it can, and wins. Stories of PM strips away the jargon and intimidation surrounding Preventive Maintenance and rebuilds it from the ground up in a vivid, full-color graphic novel format that speaks directly to the people who actually turn the wrenches.
CMMS — Friend or Foe?
Most CMMS implementations underperform not because of software flaws, but because of how they are utilized by the team. In this highly engaging graphic guide, internationally recognized expert Joel Levitt strips away the complexity of modern systems, making it an invaluable asset for CMMS and maintenance training.
The Battle for Reliability: Fundamentals Win the Day
Plunge into the heart of operational excellence with a unique blend of storytelling and virtual simulations designed to rescue your plant’s performance from constant machine failures. As a cornerstone of a maintenance reliability training program, this strategic playbook guides teams through a hands-on maintenance journey to reliability training, demonstrating how the simple, disciplined habits of Tighten, Lubricate, and Clean (TLC) can transform workplace chaos into consistency.
Training From the Small Improvement Project Manual for Practitioners
Most maintenance teams fail because they try to change everything at once. Joel Levitt’s The Small Improvement Projects Playbook is a refreshing antidote to that trap. Levitt argues that the most powerful engine of reliability isn’t the massive capital project or the sweeping organizational overhaul; it’s the quiet, disciplined elimination of one defect at a time. Grounded in scientific modeling, the book introduces the elegant “1% Rule,” where channeling just one in every hundred corrective work orders into a targeted improvement project can wipe out more than half of an organization’s recurring defects within three years.
