I wrote the book, "Maintenance Reinvented and Business Success," (https://analytics4strategy.com/mntcreinvented) when it had become possible to improve operational processes by tapping into the data (https://analytics4strategy.com/train-builddatatables) captured by operational systems (e.g., CMMS), but access to the knowledge, skills and software for data analytics had not yet emerged. If I were now writing the book, I would weave into it all that is explained at the website https://analytics4strategy.com/.
The following three website tabs provide the pathway to the papers and slides, as content, that would appear in the post-emergence version of the book:
- Training Sessions: What an organization "must know it must know" to bring its operations data-driven along with references for moving from knowing to ability.
- New-Age Five Questions: Explains data analytics as being five types of questions that can be asked and answered of any operation, but we could not ask and answer until the emergence of data analytics.
- Cost Control and Finance: Explains dual-dimensional workload-based budget and control for maintenance operations, preceded by introducing a financial framework so serve as the North Star.

Subject: Free pdf-book, "Maintenance Reinvented and Business Success"
I self-published the subject book so that I could make it available to download as a free pdf-book. Once you have a publisher, this ceases to be an option.
The free pdf-book can be downloaded at https://analytics4strategy.com/mntcreinvented If you wish, an almost free bound paperback copy can be purchased via Amazon.
If you are thinking about writing a book, consider self-publishing. We all get so much free knowledge from the work of others, it's an opportunity to give something back.
You can self-publish a book using MS Word and Adobe Acrobat. The outcome Adobe file can be made available by free pdf-book download and concurrently placed on Amazon, paid for with a small percent of the price at each sale. There is no inventory cost because each order can be fulfilled by firms such as Ingram's Lightning Source® print on demand service. Instructions to the process of self-publishing is available from the internet.
