Description
This book details the step by step activities in achieving a World Class Maintenance level . This book depicts the life and struggle of maintenance in seeking better ways and means to improve the equipment and assets' Reliability. The author shares his experience on how to achieve such a feat. Transitioning from a reactive to a proactive maintenance stage is not an easy task, but it is not also an impossible task. The author believes that the key to everything is educating the maintenance people on what maintenance is all about. Training is where we acquire knowledge to develop the skills required to do our job right. This book contains real-life stories, struggles, and actual experiences by the author in his maintenance and current Reliability and Maintenance Consultant career. Every industry must change their paradigm and realize that maintenance are not repair people. Some highlights of this book include:

The meaning of the word maintains simply to preserve our equipment and assets. And we can only preserve our assets if maintenance is equipped with the right knowledge on how to perform their jobs right the first time around. I have written this book to reach out to industries in search of discovering ways to improve not only their equipment and assets but also their maintenance human resources. Remember that maintenance is not a department; it is not a function or organization, but rather maintenance are humble and down-to-earth human beings; hence, let us provide them with the respect they truly deserve because that is all they ask for. The message of this book is straightforward. There is no better way to start the journey to Reliability than to go back to the basics and address these very small problems in our plant. Big problems, unplanned breakdowns, and catastrophic failures are just an accumulation of small problems that have always been ignored in the first place. Maintenance is always shared responsibility for operators and maintenance working together in complete harmony. It will be difficult for maintenance to transition from a reactive to a proactive mode if operators will not be involved in doing maintenance since maintenance is always shared responsibility for operators and maintenance. This book explains how to proceed with the 4 Phases of Planned Maintenance and how to integrate RCM into the TPM process. It also covers the importance of Autonomous Maintenance and Spare Parts Management which is believed to be the missing link theory on any reliability and maintenance strategy. Chapter 11 is a classic case study on what maintenance can achieve if there is a clear roadmap to follow. The last chapter states that maintenance is just human like you and me. What is important is not to blame them for every failure in the plant but for both operations and maintenance to work together on the problem. Each chapter begins with a quote on maintenance wisdom and will be a quiz for you to answer at the end of each chapter.
