This book contains real-life stories, struggles, and actual experiences of the author as he shares his passion and experience living with the day-to-day struggles of doing maintenance.

The book is easy to absorb as it is structured into three parts: the Basics, the Strategies, and the Advance Disciplines. The Twelve Disciplines are grouped accordingly into these three parts. The book's message is straightforward since there is no better way to start any maintenance strategy than by going back to the basic discipline which is often ignored. Big problems, unplanned breakdowns, and catastrophic failures are just an accumulation of small problems that have always been ignored and mostly neglected. The author strongly emphasizes the importance of operators' role in addressing these basic equipment conditions and why these people are very important in any reliability and maintenance strategy.
