Preventive Maintenance
Design and Optimize Your Maintenance Schedule
The right methodology and the right maintenance for every asset — an integrated approach. This book shows how to build effective preventive programs that actually prevent failures.
Who Is This Book For
This book is written for everyone who wants to organize effective preventive maintenance:
- Maintenance planners — moving from reactive to proactive operations
- Reliability engineers — who want to optimize PM programs
- Preventive maintenance coordinators — looking for structure and methodology
- Technical managers — who want to prevent failures before they occur
- RCM analysts — who want to apply industrial RCM in practice
What You Will Learn
This book covers the complete methodology for effective preventive maintenance using industrial RCM:
Industrial RCM Methodology
A simplified but highly effective RCM approach specifically for existing installations — function analysis, identifying failure modes, and selecting the right maintenance strategy per mode.
Function Analysis and Failure Modes
Systematically determining what an asset must do, how it can fail, and what the consequences are. The foundation of every effective PM program.
Optimal Maintenance Intervals
P-F curve analysis to determine when preventive intervention is most effective — not too early, not too late.
Condition-Based Strategies
From fixed intervals to condition-based strategies: vibration analysis, thermography, oil analysis, and other CBM techniques.
Building and Managing a PM Program
From zero to a complete PM program — task lists, checklists, standards, and a review cycle that keeps it effective over time.
