The very basis of communicating depends on agreeing on a meaning. If we show a 6 month-old child an orange and consistently call it a banana for the next 18 years of his sheltered life, he will not believe the person who tells him that what he calls a banana is, in fact, an orange. The point of this analogy comes into full focus as we consider what could happen with miscommunications in virtually everything we hear, do, say, or perceive. Whether it is conduct or behavior, designing, making, using, selling, or buying—we must agree on definitions.
In this second edition of a successful book, the father-daughter authors Michael and Emma Holloway maintain the spirit of this theme but update the long list of terms and items that require adherence to definitions. In the process of doing so, they often ask us to challenge our preconceived notions and opinions. One person’s preconceived opinions can be seriously at odds with somebody else’s opinions, unless an agreed-upon definition becomes the central core of our understanding.
This is of great relevance in the expanding Universe of Industry. The relevance of definitions becomes clear in hundreds of different pursuits and endeavors, although space and time available force us to verbalize a motto that, hopefully, is accepted by those seeking safety and reliability in work processes and asset management: “Discover Reliability Facts; Rethink Old Assumptions.” This book will prove helpful to those who seek to add value rather than engaging in dead-ended debates and flawed arguments.

There’s a story about when Spanish explorers first arrived in the Gulf of Mexico, they wanted to know what the name of the land was. They asked the first local that they encountered, “What do you call this place?” The Maya, who resided on the peninsula said, “Yucatan” which has been the name of the peninsula ever since. Unfortunately, Yucatan in Mayan means, “I don’t understand.” Oops.
Misunderstandings in the industrial place can have less comical outcomes. The first step in avoiding miscommunication is by having shared lexicon. Mr. Holloway and Ms. Holloways’ 2nd edition of the Dictionary of Industrial Terminology is the industry’s benchmark to standardize lexicon used across maintenance, engineering, and reliability disciplines. This literary tome is a must-have anchor on the bookshelf of any technician, engineer or thought leader in the industrial space.
Congratulations on amassing such a valuable document, which will be a guiding resource for years to come as the first line of defense against miscommunications in the workplace.

This is an often-repeated story by communication experts about an old lady who hoped to rent a room in Switzerland. She voiced her concerns regarding the availability of a commode that she referred to as WC (Water Closet). The recipient, the landlord, presumed WC to be a Wayside Chapel. His response is naturally hilarious.
