8 books in 1, 2008-05-10
Buckle your seat belt and hang on - Ricky and Keith have packed at least 8 books in 1 with Rules of Thumb. If you want a wide angle view of what elements you need to build a reliability based maintenance program, this book will be a great resource for you. Highlights include a very good section on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and a long list of which indicators are lagging (looking in the rear view mirror) and which ones are leading (seeing out the windshield) so you can select the measures that will meet your needs.

The second half of the book includes great information on industrial machinery repair that make a great reference guide for bearings, chains, hydraulics, motors, compressors, gearboxes and more.

If that is not enough to get you to buy this book - the appendix is filled with checklists like a CMMS data collection form, a Lean Maintenance audit checklist, a Failure Modes and Effects (FMEA) worksheet with a comprehensive FMEA how-to guide and a Mean Time between Failure (MTBF) User Guide.
