Alumni Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS), Ahmad Rifa’i Rif’an, menerima penghargaan dari Museum Rekor Indonesia (MURI) sebagai sarjana teknik yang menghasilkan buku motivasi Islami terbanyak di Indonesia. Lulusan teknik mesin ITS ini telah menulis lebih dari 200 judul buku.

Perjuangan Rifa’i sebagai penulis bukanlah proses yang singkat. Perjalanannya menulis telah dimulai sejak masih kuliah. Di antara kesibukan tugas-tugas akademik, Rifa’i menyempatkan untuk menulis. Tidak hanya itu, saat masih berstatus mahasiswa, Rifa’i juga mulai merintis bisnis penerbitan.

“Menulis menjadi cara bagi saya untuk berbagi pengalaman, pemikiran, dan wawasan yang saya dapatkan,” kata Rifa’i.

Bagi Rifa’i, menulis tidak hanya soal menghasilkan karya, tetapi juga menciptakan dampak bagi pembacanya. Itulah sebabnya, buku-buku yang dia tulis memiliki pesan yang kuat dan menggugah jiwa pembaca untuk lebih mendalami kehidupan, meresapi setiap proses, dan menjalani hidup dengan penuh makna.

Kecintaan Rifa’i pada dunia literasi terus berlanjut sampai lulus dari ITS. Meskipun sempat berkarier sebagai mechanical engineer, dia terus menulis di waktu luangnya. Sampai akhirnya Rifa’i memutuskan untuk meninggalkan pekerjaannya dan fokus pada dunia literasi.

“Saya merasa ada sesuatu yang lebih besar yang menunggu saya di dunia penulisan. Keputusan untuk fokus penuh di bidang ini adalah salah satu keputusan terbaik yang pernah saya ambil,” ungkap pria asal Lamongan ini.

Keputusan Rifa’i untuk fokus di dunia kepenulisan mulai membuahkan hasil. Selain telah menerbitkan ratusan judul buku, beberapa karya Rifa’i juga berhasil masuk daftar buku terlaris di toko-toko besar seperti Gramedia.

Di antara buku-buku Rifa’i yang terkenal adalah Selesai dengan Diri Sendiri, Menikmati Hidup, Hidup Sekali Berarti Lalu Mati, dan Tuhan, Maaf, Kami Sedang Sibuk. Buku-buku tersebut banyak diminati karena mampu memotivasi sekaligus mengemas pesan-pesan Islami. Bahasa yang digunakan ringan, tetapi menggugah, sehingga bisa diterima semua kalangan.

Rifa’i mengakui bahwa latar belakangnya sebagai mahasiswa teknik memberikan fondasi berpikir yang kuat dalam setiap tulisannya. Untuk menyusun argumen dan narasi yang sistematis dalam bukunya, Rifa’i menggunakan pola berpikir kritis dan analitis yang dia pelajari selama kuliah di ITS.

“ITS mengajarkan saya bagaimana berpikir secara sistematis dan kritis, dan saya merasa kemampuan itu sangat berguna ketika saya menulis. Dunia literasi memberi saya ruang untuk mendayagunakan proses berpikir itu agar bisa dinikmati oleh masyarakat luas,” jelas Rifai.

Rektor ITS, Bambang Pramujati, S.T., M.Sc.Eng., Ph.D., mengapresiasi prestasi yang diraih oleh Rifa’i. Dia menyebut Rifa’i sebagai alumni yang unik karena mampu menyeimbangkan kemampuan teknik dan literasi. Hal ini sangat jarang dimiliki alumni jurusan teknik.

“Kami bangga melihat alumni unik seperti Rifa’i, yang membawa nama baik ITS melalui kontribusinya di dunia literasi. Ini menunjukkan bahwa lulusan ITS memiliki kapasitas untuk berkiprah di berbagai bidang,” ujar Bambang.

Penghargaan MURI yang diterima Rifa’i menjadi bukti bahwa teknik dan literasi dapat berjalan beriringan. Ia berharap, prestasinya ini bisa menginspirasi banyak orang, khususnya generasi muda, agar berani mengejar passion mereka meskipun tampak berbeda dari jalur karier yang umumnya dipilih.

“Apa pun latar belakang kita, jika kita sungguh-sungguh, totalitas dalam menjalani dan fokus berkontribusi, percaya, deh, kita bisa menciptakan dampak positif yang besar bagi masyarakat.” Rifa’i menyimpulkan.

Boost asset performance, cut downtime, and stay ahead of competitors with PetroSync Reliability & Maintenance training for business leaders. In today’s competitive industrial landscape, asset performance is no longer a technical concern—it is a business imperative. If your competitors can maintain higher equipment availability, reduce downtime, and respond faster to failures, they gain an advantage that directly affects market share, profitability, and customer trust. As a business leader, you may already sense this pressure. The uncomfortable question is not whether reliability matters, but whether your organization is moving fast enough. When Your Competitors Fix Assets Faster Than You Can Imagine two companies operating similar assets in the same market. One experiences frequent unplanned shutdowns, while the other maintains steady production with minimal disruption. The difference is rarely luck—it is capability. Organizations that invest in reliability and maintenance competencies empower their teams to detect issues earlier, prioritize the right tasks, and execute maintenance with precision. Studies consistently show that mature reliability programs can improve maintenance productivity by 15–25%, simply by reducing reactive work and improving planning accuracy. While your team struggles with fire-fighting mode, competitors with structured reliability frameworks move faster, recover quicker, and deliver more consistent output. Over time, that performance gap becomes impossible to ignore. The Hidden Cost of “Business as Usual” in Reliability and Maintenance Many companies underestimate the cost of maintaining the status quo. On the surface, operations may appear stable—but beneath it lies inefficiency. Unoptimized maintenance strategies often lead to: Excessive overtime and labor waste Spare parts overstocking or critical shortages Repeated failures that erode asset life According to industry benchmarks, poor maintenance practices can consume up to 30% of total operating costs. Meanwhile, organizations that adopt reliability-centered approaches typically achieve 10–20% operational efficiency improvements, freeing capital for growth rather than repairs. If competitors are already operating leaner and smarter, continuing “business as usual” is not neutral—it is a risk. How Smart Reliability Leaders Turn Technology Into a Competitive Weapon Forward-thinking leaders understand that reliability excellence is no longer driven by people alone—it is amplified by technology. AI-powered maintenance tools, including intelligent chatbots, are increasingly used to support frontline teams. These systems help technicians access procedures, historical failure data, and troubleshooting guidance instantly. The result is faster decision-making, fewer errors, and reduced dependency on limited expert resources. Organizations implementing AI-assisted maintenance solutions report: Faster issue resolution and improved team productivity Reduced training time for new technicians Operational cost savings of up to 20–30% by minimizing downtime and unnecessary interventions However, technology only delivers value when paired with strong reliability fundamentals. This is where professional capability development becomes critical. Programs such as CMRP Training and CRE Training equip professionals with the strategic and analytical skills needed to turn tools and data into real performance gains. Staying Relevant in an Era Where Asset Performance Defines Market Winners The reality is simple: markets reward organizations that can sustain asset performance under pressure. Those that fail to evolve risk falling behind—not because they lack assets, but because they lack reliability leadership. Reliability-centered methodologies help businesses shift from reactive maintenance to structured decision-making. Programs like ARCM Training enable teams to align maintenance activities with business risk, ensuring resources are focused where they matter most. Meanwhile, RCA Training helps organizations break the cycle of recurring failures that quietly drain profitability. For business leaders, investing in reliability and maintenance capability is not just about equipment—it is about protecting competitiveness. When your competitors can deliver faster, cheaper, and more reliably, the cost of inaction becomes far greater than the cost of transformation.
