Reviews:
This book will not help you to solve the most complicated and advanced problems in maintenance management, but usefulness exists with no doubt.
- If you are inexperienced it will do a very good job in introducing you to many features of maintenance management.
- Even if you do complex maintenance management tasks it can serve as reminder to bring you from deep-diving into some task back to overall common sense of maintenance management. Good book structure helps in that.
- It gives you useful and backed data about trends, common thinking in field of maintenance. You allways think about that when you are maintenance practicioner.
- It is great book to be borrowed to your colleague - technical or non-technical but technically inclined manager. If you persuade your colleagues to read it they will have much better overall understanding of your work, they can buy these idea expressed in authoritative bu simple manner. Their better understanding of your work will make your job easier, no doubt.
This book contains very little information on benchmarking and even less on best practice. I have also read "developing performance indicators for managing maintenance" by the same author - equally poor. In summary, if you want a VERY broad overview and currently have NO experience then this book may represent some value - otherwise look elsewhere.
I was drawn to this book by the promise of a 'benchmarking database from more than 100 companies'. There is no database and very little useful information other than elementary waffle. Effective Maintenance Management by Narayan is a far better investment and suited to all readers not just learners.
