cómo dice el título, muchas cosas son de "sentido común". Pero como muchas veces se dice, el sentido común es el menos común de los sentidos. Da buenas ideas para el mundo fabril. Recomendado tanto para los ingenieros que se inician en este mundo, como para séniors que ayudará a portar claridad en ciertas ideas.

A solid addition to CMRP certification studies. First, read Maintenance and Reliability Best Practices, then this book which applies best practices in practical applications and examples.
