The Maintenance Planning and Scheduling Handbook includes: The 6 Principles of planning; The 6 principles of scheduling; Extensive example work scenarios that illustrate each of these principles; Strategies for increasing your workforce without hiring-by implementing a new maintenance planning group or redirecting an existing one; A highly useful procedure for conducting an in-house productivity study; Appendixes that summarize key concepts, identify suppliers, show complete examplet work studies and planned work orders, and provide other valuable reference sources.
Reviews:
The most practical book I have ever read: The tips and guidelines of this book helped me not only to build a maintenance management system [aluminum rolling mills] from scratch but also to create a CMMS program (database) from where I could print many reports as well as work orders. Athough I have read many many books on maintenance and reliability topics, this particular book helped me to understand and apply the proposed theories focusing on details.
Doc the Guru, its not AMPSB: This is not AMPSB (another maintenace planning and scheduling book), when you read this book you can actually feel that you are in the real working world.Doc does not talk concepts he tells what happens in real Maintenance World and how to go to World Class Maintenance World using 6 principals of planning and scheduling.I will stick to this book as a reference in the process of continouse improvent.I will also recommend this book to Project Managers to see whats the real concept behind planning and scheduling not just a traditional name as done in most Project Management books. I you want to know why must you plan and schedule buy this book.Good job Doc. I the was a 10 star I would have given it a 10star, this is a unique book I have ever read.
It's Hard to Find Objection: Hand-on experience is crucial for performing successfull maintenance. It can be only your personal experience or, if you are dedicated to continual learning, you can "borrow" some of hard-to-gain experience from top-class professionals. Every sentence in this book is illustrated with very concrete examples from real life, and that makes it invaluable. Author has comprehensive knowledge of all aspects of maintenance, and that is visible on any page of this book, so although it is thematically concentrated on planning and scheduling, it can be used by anyone involved in structure of companies' maintenance organisation. From explaning overall corporate strategy regarding maintenance to decribing every particular day-to-day task of maintenance planner and scheduler, this book guides you through the whole process, in which planning and scheduling are vital subprocesses to bring anything else to life. Although the book is oriented to explain manual documentation system, you can easily bring described principles in very extensive use of CMMS practice. You can only benefit from broader view that can only tear you off "computer-will-solve-everything" dreams.
