This book is a "how-to" generic approach with minimal theory by a
well-known and very active participant in the leading maintenance
organizations and conferences. The book offers a fundamental, common
sense understanding of RCM. A significant portion is dedicated to SAE
JA1011 compliant RCM. The book presents detailed processes that can be
used when RCM is not applicable and presents a total solution for
implementing RCM for any organization.
The primary market for this book is anyone responsible for Physical
Asset Management within an organization, at any level of authority. The
material will be just as valuable to an organization's maintenance
manager as it would to the organization's leader. The book's principles
will be presented generically so they are equally applicable to any
industry in the world that has assets to care for - military,
manufacturing, mining, plastics, power generation, etc. There is also a
secondary market for this book at colleges and universities teaching
reliability engineering.
