There he was contracted by four additional management consulting firms as they continued to seek Don’s unique guidance, experience, and expertise.

Industries that he has touched, in order of heaviest experience and influence, include food, primary metals, paper, chemicals, utilities, government, financial, education, and healthcare.
Don is now retired and resides in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina. Although retired, he remains active and continues to share his knowledge through writing books and articles, continuing contact with associates, and consulting for MVP One.
Recently, Don Nyman partnered with Bill Mountjoy, MVP One’s VP of Reliability Engineering, to write the book, Maintenance & Operational Reliability: The 24 Essential Building Blocks (published October 2021).

When organizations achieve maintenance and reliability excellence, they gain a competitive edge and sustain long-term business viability. However, achieving maintenance and reliability excellence is no easy feat. Even if an organization understands the benefits and the commitment, it has no idea where to start. Lucky for us and the rest of the world that Don and Bill have shared not only where to start, but the entire secret sauce of how to achieve maintenance and reliability excellence in their insightful book.
MVP One is more than excited to announce its latest blog series, "The Secret Sauce of Maintenance & Reliability Excellence" authored by legendary Don Nyman. Don will walk the observer through each of the 24 building blocks that make up "The Pillars of Maintenance & Reliability Excellence”.
