Book Synopsis

Considering maintenance from a proactive, rather than reactive, perspective, Maintenance Excellence details the strategies, tools, and solutions for maximizing the productivity of physical assets—focusing on profitability potential. The editors address contemporary concerns, key terms, data requirements, critical methodologies, and essential mathematical needs. They present maintenance in a business context, review planning, measurement, feedback, and techniques related to cost, efficiency, and results, and summarize applications of tools and software from statistics and neural networks to cost-optimized models.

Thirteen chapters written by associates of PricewaterhouseCooper's global practice in Physical Asset Management present strategies for maximizing the productivity of physical assets, focusing on profitability potential. A sampling of topics includes: managing equipment reliability, computerized maintenance management and enterprise asset management systems, assessing risks, managing to international standards, and using statistics and asset life cost in maintenance decision making. The strengths and weaknesses of traditional Reliability-Centered Maintenance also are discussed. Appendices (24 in number) provide additional information on such topics as fuzzy logic, neural nets, the economic-life model used in PERDEC, confidence intervals, and the three-parameter Weibull function.
