As a facility professional, you know from experience that equipment seems to break down at the worst possible moment. To head off these costly disruptions, your company needs a systematic, economically viable preventive-maintenance program.
Fundamentals of Preventive Maintenance provides readers with an easy-to-follow fiscally sensible maintenance and work-order management program. This results-driven guidebook outlines a 7-step process for designing and implementing the program, describing what needs to be done when—and why. Designed to transform unwieldy PM programs into manageable and cost-effective initiatives, Fundamentals of Preventive Maintenance provides hands-on techniques for:
- Establishing critical scheduling protocols
- Managing the daily work-order schedule
- Developing and issuing preventive-maintenance work orders
- Monitoring the program and making improvements
Your properly designed, carefully followed maintenance regime will pay immediate dividends in the form of cost savings and faster work-order completion, and the repeatable, scalable processes ensure that the program, like good equipment, will keep running smoothly well into the future.
