Maintenance Management
The Road from Reactive to Reliable
The first and broadest volume in the series — the overview book that shows how all nine disciplines connect. From reactive firefighting to systematic asset management: this is where the transformation begins.

- Directors and senior management — who want to understand how all maintenance processes connect
- Advisors and consultants — looking for a complete framework for their clients
- Students and educators — as an introduction to integrated maintenance management
