Maintenance Planning and Scheduling Handbook, Fourth Edition PDF

Abstract:

The industry-standard resource for maintenance planning and scheduling—thoroughly revised for the latest advances.

Written by a Certified Maintenance and Reliability Professional (CMRP) with more than three decades of experience, this book provides proven planning and scheduling strategies that will take any maintenance organization to the next level of performance. The book resolves common industry frustration with planning and reduces the complexity of scheduling, in addition to dealing with reactive maintenance. This book covers estimating labor hours, setting the level of plan detail, creating practical weekly and daily schedules, kitting parts, and more, all designed to increase your workforce without hiring. Much of the book applies the timeless management principles of Dr. W. Edwards Deming and Dr. Peter F. Drucker. This book shows how you can do more proactive work when your hands are full of reactive work.
