Asset Maintenance Management - A Guide to Developing Stratetgy and Improving Performance
"An excellent book that is used to support our own maintenance strategy and is also given to our Engineers to assist in developing their understanding of maintenance theory and practice. We would have no hesitation in recommending this book for use by Managers, Engineers and Maintenance practitioners alike". Mr Mick Williams, Maintenance Leader of Lever Faberge (Leeds) Ltd.
The themes of the book are threefold:
firstly - emphasising the need for developing an asset maintenance strategy.
secondly - Describing how maintenance managers should plan their resources.
thirdly - Determining how the organisation, and the individuals within it, will benefit from better maintenance practices.
The Guide is in two parts.
Part 1 - covers the issues and methods for developing the strategies and co-ordinated policies specific to maintenance.
Part 2 - deals with strategy implementation by considering the choice of the right options from the broad range of practices and tactics available to the maintenance manager.
The guide offers companies an opportunity to give better shape to their maintenance operation, show how maintenance is addressing the business performance targets and give confidence that the maintenance operation can and will deliver. It explains how the managers should involve their teams, and their customers, in auditing the current situation, and how they should involve their maintenance personnel in determining the future direction of the maintenance function.
The book is aimed at people who have responsibility for, or need to understand, maintenance management, and for those who approve budgets and monitor the costs of maintenance. Coverage extends to all industrial and property sectors, including manufacturing, oil and chemical processing, food and drink production, the military, the owners or occupiers of buildings, the health service, utilities (power, water and gas), metals refining, etc. It also extends to the providers of services for maintenance including outsourcing organisations, maintenance contractors, consultants and academia. People with a wide knowledge and experience of asset maintenance have contributed to the guide, not only with their own submissions but also in providing a range of opinions. The authors include engineering and asset maintenance managers (both from industry and commerce), experts in specific maintenance and management consultancy roles.
