First Sentence:
Increased competition and customer demand for the timely delivery of high-quality products have forced manufacturers to adopt "automation."
Book Description
The ultimate guide to optimal maintenance of industrial systems. In an era where the timely delivery of quality products is crucial to success in the global marketplace, the maintenance of systems involved in production processes must be carried out with maximum efficiency andmdash;and minimum downtime. Planning and Control of Maintenance Systems is the first book to address maintenance and repair from an engineering perspective. Using the innovative concept of total productive maintenance (TPM) and written by three renowned experts in statistics, operations research, and engineering, it is an essential tool for planning a maintenance system using statistical and optimization techniques in order to avert equipment failure. Suitable for engineers and managers in capital-intensive industry, as well as for first-year graduate students and undergraduates in mechanical or industrial engineering, this book offers: A presentation of statistical models for load forecasting and capacity planning, productivity measurement, and quality control Discussions of maintenance materials control, designing a maintenance training program, performing maintenance audits, developing a continuous improvement plan, and more, using many case studies and examples A complete exploration of computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS), with details on designing and evaluating information systems Guidelines for monitoring equipment using diagnostic technology, and how to fit preventive maintenance into a busy production schedule.
