This book depicts the life and struggles of maintenance in seeking better ways and means in improving how to manage and maintain their equipment and assets. The Author shares his passion and experience about the day to day struggles in the life of a maintenance. What is interesting about the Author and his book is that even though he hails from the Philippines the problems, issues and struggles we face in maintenance is generic and can be felt by any industry from whatever place, race and culture. This book contains real life stories, struggles and actual experiences by the Author in his career in maintenance and currently as a Reliability and Maintenance Consultant. The book is easy to absorb as it is structured into three parts which are the Basics, the Strategies and the Advance Disciplines. The Twelve Disciplines are grouped accordingly into these three parts. Maintenance often time seek for advance ways in dealing with their everyday problems and issues. The message of this book is simple and straightforward, that there is no better way to start by going back to the "Basics" and addressing these very small problems we have in our plant. Big problems, unplanned break-downs and catastrophic failures are just an accumulation of small problems that has always been ignored and mostly neglected in the first place. The Author strongly emphasize the importance operators play in addressing these basic equipment condition and is considered a partner with maintenance on this shared responsibility they have towards their equipment. It is very difficult or impossible for maintenance people to transcend from a reactive to a proactive mode if operators will not be involved along the way. When the Basics had been set and well established, then maintenance can move on with the different maintenance and reliability strategies which are explained in detail on this book. Each Chapter covers a specific maintenance discipline. Chapter 14 of this book covers an implementation pla

Reliability-Centered Maintenance provides valuable insights into current preventive maintenance practices and issues, while explaining how a transition from the current "preserve equipment" to "preserve function" mindset is the key ingredient in a maintenance optimization strategy. This book defines the four principal features of RCM and describes the nine essential steps to achieving a successful RCM program. There is an easy to follow example illustrating the Classical RCM systems analysis process using the water treatment system for a swimming pool. As well as the use of software in the system analysis process, making a specific recommendation on a software product to use. Additionally, this new edition possesses an appendix devoted to discussing an economic model that has been used successfully to decide the most cost effective use of maintenance. Top Level managers, engineers, and especially technicians who rely on PM programs in their plant operations can't afford to miss this inclusive guide to Reliability-Centered Maintenance. - Includes detailed instructions for implementing and sustaining an RCM program for extremely cost effective manufacturing - Presents seven real-world cross-industry RCM sucess case studies that have profited from this plan - Provides essential information on how RCM focuses your maintenance organization to become a recognized "center for profit" - Offers over 35 accumulated years of the authors' experiences in Lessons Learned for the proper use of RCM (and pitfalls to avoid)

Productivity and Reliability-Based Maintenance Management, Second Edition is intended to provide a strong yet practical foundation for understanding the concepts and practices of total productive maintenance (TPM) management—a proactive asset and resource management strategy that is based on enhancing equipment reliability and overall enterprise productivity. The book is intended to serve as a fundamental yet comprehensive educational and practical guide for departing from the wait-failure-emergency repair cycle that has plagued too many industries, instead advancing a proactive and productive maintenance strategy. It is not intended to be a how-to-fix-it manual, but rather emphasizes the concept of a world-class maintenance management philosophy to avoid the failure in the first place. Universities, junior and community colleges, and technical institutes as well as professional, corporate, and industrial training programs can benefit by incorporating these fundamental concepts in their technical and managerial curricula. The book can serve as a powerful educational tool for students as well as for maintenance professionals and managers. In addition to updating the previous historical and statistical data and tables, the second edition expands on and adds to case studies based on current maintenance-related events. Several numerical examples and explanations are revised in order to enhance the clarity of the methodology. The second edition introduces the readers to the state-of-the-art concepts of the Internet of Things (IoT), smart sensors, and their application to maintenance and TPM.

To be able to compete successfully both at national and international levels, production systems and equipment must perform at levels not even thinkable a decade ago. Requirements for increased product quality, reduced throughput time and enhanced operating effectiveness within a rapidly changing customer demand environment continue to demand a high maintenance performance. In some cases, maintenance is required to increase operational effectiveness and revenues and customer satisfaction while reducing capital, operating and support costs. This may be the largest challenge facing production enterprises these days. For this, maintenance strategy is required to be aligned with the production logistics and also to keep updated with the current best practices. Maintenance has become a multidisciplinary activity and one may come across situations in which maintenance is the responsibility of people whose training is not engineering. This handbook aims to assist at different levels of understanding whether the manager is an engineer, a production manager, an experienced maintenance practitioner or a beginner. Topics selected to be included in this handbook cover a wide range of issues in the area of maintenance management and engineering to cater for all those interested in maintenance whether practitioners or researchers. This handbook is divided into 6 parts and contains 26 chapters covering a wide range of topics related to maintenance management and engineering.
