In this book Anthony Kelly explains the unique procedure he's developed
for auditing the management of the maintenance of both productive plant
and infrastructures: for example, of petrochemical processing
installations and of vehicle fleets. Case studies demonstrate the
application of this procedure to comprehensive audits of several weeks
duration, to 'fingerprint' audits taking perhaps a day or so, and to
benchmarking exercises.
Industrial managers absorbing the ideas and procedures presented in this
book will be better able to audit for themselves their own maintenance
departments, or to specify such audits when they are to be undertaken by
external consultants. Such investigations will highlight existing
problems and identify their causes - a necessary process before
embarking on major organizational or system change.
- Extensive use of case studies
- Contains a structured questionnaire of over 1,000 questions that is
based on the ideas and concepts of business centered maintenance.
- Provides a template for the auditing or maintenance management
departments through the aide memoir.
