Reliability Centered Maintenance (Paperback, 2nd edition)

Reliability-centered maintenance is a process used to determine, systematically and scientifically, what must be done to ensure that physical assets continue to do what their users want them to do and is widely recognized by maintenance professionals as the most cost-effective way to develop world-class maintenance strategies. The author and his associates have helped users apply RCM and its more modern derivative, RCM2, at more than 600 sites in 32 countries. The second edition has been comprehensively revised to incorporate more than 100 pages of new material on condition monitoring, the analysis of functions and failures, human error, the management of risk, failure-finding, and the measurement of maintenance performance. This book will be of immense value to maintenance managers, and to anyone else concerned with the reliability, productivity, safety, and environmental integrity of physical assets.
