Editorial Reviews
Product Description
"Plant engineers and maintenance managers know from experience: All manufacturing equipment will break down, often at the worst possible moment. To survive in today's lean-and-mean manufacturing environment, companies must head off these breakdowns with a preventive-maintenance management program that is both systematic and flexible -- and geared toward minimizing downtime and maximizing equipment life. Fundamentals of Preventive Maintenance provides readers with an easy-to-follow, economically sensible maintenance and workorder management program. This results-driven guidebook outlines a 7-step process for designing and implementing the program, describing what needs to be done -- and why. Designed to transform an often unwieldy program into one that can be effectively managed, it provides hands-on techniques for: * Establishing critical scheduling protocols * Managing the daily workorder schedule * Developing and issuing preventive maintenance workorders * Monitoring the program and making improvements"

Author's comment on CD ROM Availability, 2008-01-06
The Paperback version does not contain the CD ROM. I apologize for the omission. The omission was a decision by the publisher.

If you purchase the book and would like the CD, then send me an email and I will forward the files to you. (I only have the files in Adobe format at the moment.)

I can be reached at Jgross5050@yahoo.com.

Excellent book that covers the fundamentals of PM. Easy to read, simple, and based on practical experience. Every plant manager should read and keep as a reference. Currently, i am in the process of setting up a maintenance program for 11 plants. I found this book helpful.
