Maintenance Texts?
Maintenance Texts?
(OP)
I'm in charge of engineering and maintenance at a midsize facility. I believe that we've got a fairly effective maintenance organization that is primarily PM based. However. . . I also feel that we are somewhat stagnant and need to take the next step and I'm in search of that step. Would anybody have any texts that they could recommend that would give me ideas? Terry Wireman seems prolific in this area and there are a few such as Richard Palmer's Maint. Planning and Scheduling Handbook and John Campbell's Uptime that sound good.
I'm also interested in learning about possible metrics to use to quantify the benefit of maintenance and maintenance expenditures.
Thanks all,
Covey

I just puchased NFPA-70B for electrical maintanance. So far I like what I see.
You might also want to check with all your equipment or machine manufactures to ensure all the PM reqiurements are being met, and you havent missed any technical bulletins that they have issued, lately.

What type facility do you have?
There are some very specific sites like pumps, bearings, etc.
