This comprehensive guide focuses on the optimal maintenance of industrial systems, emphasizing the importance of efficient operations and minimal downtime in today's competitive marketplace. It is the first book to approach maintenance and repair from an engineering viewpoint, leveraging the innovative concept of total productive maintenance (TPM). Authored by three experts in statistics, operations research, and engineering, it serves as a vital resource for planning maintenance systems through statistical and optimization techniques to prevent equipment failure. Targeted at engineers, managers in capital-intensive industries, and both graduate and undergraduate students in mechanical or industrial engineering, the book covers a range of topics. These include statistical models for load forecasting, capacity planning, productivity measurement, and quality control. It also addresses maintenance materials control, the design of training programs, maintenance audits, and continuous improvement plans, supported by numerous case studies. Additionally, it thoroughly explores computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS), offering insights into designing and evaluating such systems. Guidelines for monitoring equipment with diagnostic technology and integrating preventive maintenance into busy production schedules are also provided, making this a crucial resource for effective maintenance management.
