Devising optimal strategy for maintaining industrial plant can be a difficult task of daunting complexity. This book aims to provide the plant engineer with a comprehensive approach for tackling this problem, that is, for deciding maintenance objectives, formulating equipment life plans and plant maintenance schedules, and others.

World-renowned author and maintenance expert Terry Wireman has completed a book collection including a valuable maintenance maturity model. The Maintenance Strategy (tm) Series is the first collection of its kind.This bundled set includes the first five books:Volume 1: Preventive MaintenanceVolume 2: MRO Inventory and PurchasingVolume 3: Maintenance Work Management ProcessesVolume 4: Successfully Utilizing CMMS/EAM SystemsVolume 5: Training Programs for Maintenance Organizations 6:Operator-Driven Reliability

This book introduces readers to essential strategies, practices, and benchmarking for asset maintenance in operations intensive industries. Drawing on a case study from the oil and gas sector, it offers a methodology and practical solutions to help maintenance practitioners select and formulate an asset maintenance strategy, and to establish best maintenance practices at an organizational level using the frameworks developed here. It is intended for industry practitioners, young maintenance professionals, and students of engineering management who aspire to a career in operations intensive industries.

For over three decades, Terry Wireman has specialized in the improvement of maintenance and reliability. As an international expert in maintenance management, he has assisted hundreds of clients in North America, Europe and the Pacific Rim to improve their maintenance effectiveness. Through a new 10-volume Maintenance Strategy series, the author makes his expertise in the field accessible to industrial and facility organizations everywhere.

The profitability of any industry, in any technological sector - power, process, manufacturing, mineral extraction, transport, communication, etc - will be profoundly influenced by the reliability and performance of the plant which it uses. It is therefore vital that all possible measures are taken to maximise the productivity in use, and to minimise the maintenance costs and the downtime, of that plant. This book explains, in a clear and concise manner, the various organization structures that are needed for doing just that, the information systems with which those structures will need to be resourced, and the steps that will have to be taken in order to bring those structures and systems into being. The author, Anthony Kelly, an experienced international consultant and lecturer on this subject, calls his approach BUSINESS-CENTRED MAINTENANCE (BCM) because it springs from, and is driven by, the identification of business objectives, which are then translated into maintenance objectives and which underpin the maintenance strategy formulation. For the first time maintenance management is analysed from the perspective of the whole company and thus makes sense not only technologically but also in economic and business terms.

Strategic Maintenance Planning deals with the concepts, principles and techniques of preventive maintenance, and shows how the complexity of maintenance strategic planning can be resolved by a systematic 'Top-Down-Bottom-Up' approach. It explains how to establish objectives for physical assets and maintenance resources, and how to formulate an appropriate life plan for plant. It then shows how to use the life plans to formulate a preventive maintenance schedule for the plant as a whole, along with a maintenance organization and a budget to ensure that maintenance work can be resourced.This is one of three stand-alone volumes designed to provide maintenance professionals in any sector with a better understanding of maintenance management, enabling the identification of problems and the delivery of effective solutions.* The first of three stand-alone companion books, focusing on the formulation of strategy and the planning aspects of maintenance management * Learn how to establish objectives - for physical assets and maintenance resources; Formulate a life plan for each unit and a preventive maintenance schedule for the plant as a whole; Design a maintenance organization and budget to ensure that the maintenance work can be resourced* With numerous review questions, exercises and case studies - selected to ensure coverage across a wide range of industries including processing, mining, food, power generation and transmission
