About the Book

This book was created to assist those who have to deal with intermittent engineering faults and have the time to write down all the possible 'cause and effect' actions and conditions and make decisions with others on the best possible solution to a problem. It was also created to assist personnel who are at the 'coal face' of the plant's large industrial equipment day in, day out, where they have to 'think on their feet' and sometimes have to make quick decisions in stressful and potentially hazardous situations. Above all else, no matter what situation you may find yourself in, it is vital before you take any steps to resolve a problem, stop, think and remind yourself of your intended actions, what do you want to achieve and ultimately consider the outcomes of those same actions.

About the Author :
Brendan Shine has 30 years experience (including electrical, electronic, pneumatic and hydraulic qualifications) in the industrial engineering industry. He qualified as an industrial electrician in 1984, from there moved into a maintenance and operational role for many years which involved maintenance and operations of all on site equipment, then in 1992 moved into the calibration and industrial automation side. Returned to college in 1998 and qualified as an electrical engineer, moved into a project engineering role in a technical services division and then onto Facilities Management.

Review :
I found this book to be an excellent engineering resource guide that can be read again and again. In my 15 years of college, courses and industrial experience, this is the first book I have come across that provides the 'missing information link' and fills the gap that exists between engineering theory and practice. It should be recommended reading for all apprentices, budding engineers and students alike and also it is an opportunity for more experienced people to unlearn the bad habits picked up throughout the years. Conleth O'Sullivan, Facilities Engineer This book provides the basic building blocks to good engineering practices, I wish I had it when I first started out my career, I will continue to reread this book regularly to remind myself of the engineering discipline I need to maintain to ensure I do my job right 'first time, every time' and always in a safe and conscientious manner. Daryl Gaughan, Fitter An essential read to all, whether you are 16 years old, starting out on your career or 66 years old, just settling into your retirement. Peter Morriss ey, Aircraft Engineer This book provides a very good guide to the engineering back ground knowledge and advanced skills that people should try to attain regardless of the persons chosen engineering discipline before entering or whilst in the workforce as future or current employers will appreciate such versatility in a person and the initiative shown in trying to further expand their knowledge management base. Chris Speirs, Chemical Engineer
