Audel Managing Maintenance Planning and Scheduling

Maintenance of a plant can be done by default, meaning equipment is repaired as it fails, only on an emergency basis, which results in the rush to get equipment running again and shoddy workmanship that costs in downtime. Maintenance by plan means there has been forethought in the level of maintenance required to gain control of costs while achieving a standard of equipment readiness. The achievement of these goals is quite complex and involves everyone from the first line maintenance supervisor on down the line. Limited literature is available to guide plant personnel and this book provides that guidance.
