Campbell outlines a blueprint for a world class maintenance program by examining, piece by piece, its essential elements - leadership (strategy and management), control (data management, measures, tactics, planning and scheduling), continuous improvement (RCM and TPM), and quantum leaps (process reengineering). He explains each element in detail, using simple language and practical examples from a wide range of industries. This book is for every manager who needs to see the "big picture" of maintenance management. In addition to maintenance, engineering, and manufacturing managers, all business managers will benefit from this comprehensive and realistic approach to improving asset performance.
Reviews:
The book does not live up to its title - most of its information is theoretical and uses examples not relative to the person who would read this book - i.e. smaller business owners. It is a scholarly overview of the process but for a do-able, step by step approach, I found it highly inferior to John Gross's "Fundamentals of Maintenance" - just because it is written in more difficult language does not make it a better book. Gross pointed out, and I agree, that people talk ABOUT preventative maintenance and the benefits for your company, but no one tells you how to actually set up a department or actual procedures. This is that type of a book - all research and very little actual, personal experience. Bypass this one.
