RCM - Gateway to World Class 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 organization 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, the use of software in the system analysis process, and a specific recommendation on a software product to use.
Additionally, this volume has an appendix devoted to discussing an economic model that has been used successfully to decide the ost cost effective use of maintenance resources.
Top level managers, engineers, and especially technicians who rely on PM, Preventive Maintenance programs in their plant operations can't afford to miss this valuable guide to Reliability-Centered Maintenance.
