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 is developed or evolved, and, finally, the performance measures that can be used to effectively manage maintenance.
From the Back Cover Written by a "nationally recognized expert" (Plant Engineering, January 1990), this book is designed to help managers focus on specific indicators that will enable them to maximize their company's equipment assets. For the first time, the author connects typical functional maintenance indicators to a company's strategic indicators. Besides assisting managers in developing performance indicators for maintenance management, Terry Wireman goes on to show how to improve low-performing indicators. The detailed table of contents helps readers quickly find specific indicators while the glossary of maintenance terms provides a useful ready reference.

Reviews:
A good starting point: 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 computerised 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.
