Maintenance system planning and scheduling now in it's 2nd Edition
The aim of an effective maintenance system is to maximize production equipment effectiveness in terms of economic efficiency and profitability. The maintenance system is effective if every effort is applied to eliminate the cause of lost production due to equipment failure or to maximize equipment effectiveness. The most efficient way of achieving this goal is through proper maintenance scheduling and planning. Hands-on experience is crucial for performing successful maintenance. Yet, many new engineers lack the experience to successfully manage a program. This is why so many readers regard the Maintenance Planning and Scheduling Handbook as the chief authority for establishing effective maintenance planning and scheduling in the real world. The Second Edition adds new sections and further develops many existing topics to make the handbook more comprehensive and helpful. 544 pp.

These new sections are:

  • New chapter (or section) on the "people side" of maintenance planning and work execution. Considerations include how and why you should treat technicians as adults and give them as much information as possible.
  • New discussion on why effective maintenance needs scheduling in terms of using a standard for control.
  • New discussion about protecting the schedule against false emergencies.
  • New detailed aids and barriers analysis that improves the appendix on setting up a planning group.
  • New "cause maps" illustrating problems with priority systems and schedule compliance
