by Terry Wireman
"
In today's business environment, terms like "best practices," "bench-marking," "world
class," and others continuously bombard us...
From Book News, Inc.
A guide to applying performance measurement indicators to equipment and asset maintenance and linking these indicators to the long term goals
of an organization. A number of techniques and tools are explored,
including computerized systems, work flow programs, technical and interpersonal
training, total productive maintenance, inventory and procurement procedures, and operational involvement. Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR
Book Description:
This book presents a unique, detailed, and much-needed "road map" on
how to measure and then improve one of the most important functions in
today's modern organization: equipment and asset maintenance management.
The author presents an overview of what constitutes maintenance, how it's developed or evolved, and , finally, the performance measures that
can be used to effectively manage maintenance
Reviews:
This book is primarily a "directory" on how to measure and then improve equipment maintenance management. Mr Wireman describes the basic methods of maintenance with chapters on the pros and cons of preventative maintenance, RCM, TPM and computerized maintenance managing software. It then describes the performance measures that can be used to effectively manage maintenance. This is a very good book for engineers wanting to improve the maintenance function, but if you are after a handbook on how to set up a PM, RCM or TPM program then this isn't the book you want.
