Examines the strengths and weaknesses of traditional Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM), including comparisons of aircraft vs. military vs. industrial, functional vs. hardware, and classical (thorough) vs. streamlined and "lite" versions
Provides a framework for achieving reliable equipment, establishing the economic life of physical assets, optimal inspection policies, and appropriate resource levels
Highlights Balance Scorecard and shaft-alignment case history as effective examples for strengthening performance at macro and micro levels
Discusses critical functions of Computer Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) and Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) systems, and key selection and implementation criteria
Describes fundamentals of maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) materials and develops a five-step cycle procurement process
Considering maintenance from a proactive, rather than reactive, perspective, Maintenance Excellence details the strategies, tools, and solutions for maximizing the productivity of physical assets-focusing on profitability potential. The editors address contemporary concerns, key terms, data requirements, critical methodologies, and essential mathematical needs. They present maintenance in a business context, review planning, measurement, feedback, and techniques related to cost, efficiency, and results, and summarize applications of tools and software from statistics and neural networks to cost-optimized models.
