  Rules of Thumb for Maintenance and Reliability Engineers by Ricky Smith and R. Keith Mobley
 
ISBN 9780750678629
  
Our Price: $104.00


Overview Contents
 
Rules of Thumb for Maintenance and Reliability Engineers will give the engineer the "have to have" information. It will help instill knowledge on a daily basis, to do his or her job and to maintain and assure reliable equipment to help reduce costs. This book will be an easy reference for engineers and managers needing immediate solutions to everyday problems. Most civil, mechanical, and electrical engineers will face issues relating to maintenance and reliability, at some point in their jobs. This will become their "go to" book. Not an oversized handbook or a theoretical treatise, but a handy collection of graphs, charts, calculations, tables, curves, and explanations, and basic "rules of thumb" that any engineer working with equipment will need for basic maintenance and reliability of equipment.

An essential asset management guide September 7, 2009
Reviewer: Mark Brunner from Newcastle, NSW Australia  
Great piece of work written in three parts. If you want to gain an understanding of the fundamentals of asset management then you cant go past part 1. It puts the concepts across in an informative way that will keep the reader interested.

Part 2 of the book provides detailed information about maintainable  items and the practices and theories required to maintain them.  

Part 3 provides additional readings from the Authors and a series of checklists and forms that can be utilized by the readers.

This is an essential guide for all maintenance and reliability professionals

At least 8 books in 1 February 20, 2009
Reviewer: Terrence O'Hanlon from Fort Myers, FL United States  
Buckle your seat belt and hang on, Ricky and Keith have packed at least 8 books in 1. If you want a wide angle view of what elements you need to build a reliability based maintenance program, this book will be a great resource for you. Highlights include a good section on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and a long list of which indicators are lagging (looking in the rear view mirror) and which ones are leading (seeing out the windshield) so you can select the measures that will meet your needs.

The second half of the book includes great information on industrial machinery repair that make a great reference guide for bearings, chains, hydraulics, motors, compressors, gearboxes and more.

If that is not enough to get you to buy this book - the appendix is filled with checklists like a CMMS data collection form, a Lean Maintenance audit checklist, a Failure Modes and Effects (FMEA) worksheet with a comprehensive FMEA how-to guide and a Mean Time between Failure (MTBF) User Guide.
