In the board rooms of most companies the word maintenance typically gives the top management an uneasy feeling. Why is this the case? The main reason is the way in which they think about business. They generally think, speak and discuss about opportunities, profits, risks, new markets, added value and costs for their business. On the other hand, the maintenance manager generally thinks in terms of techniques, failures, technical problems, workforce schemes, and not purely in costs and benefits. Maintenance costs are seen as penalties from 'above' and maintenance as a function is not viewed as a business opportunity for improvements and for creating added value. The main scope of this book is to fill this large gap between these two worlds. We will treat the maintenance function as a pure business-driven process to fulfil the company's main goals and address the challenge of organizing the maintenance activities in the most profitable way for the asset owner.
There are a lot of methods available for maintenance management improvement like Asset Management, TPM, RCM, WCM, FMECA, Lean, PAS 55, etc. Profit-Driven Maintenance for Physical Assets provides the reader with an overview of how all these methods can improve the maintenance function and how to leverage the opportunity to utilize them. In addition, the maintenance organization and the competencies of the people involved are important items in this book.
For maintenance managers output improvement and operational excellence are high on the agenda. It is important that the maintenance function not only covers technical matters about the physical assets, but that there is also a thorough understanding of the business way of thinking about assets. We can call this 'Technomics'. This approach enables communication with top management to take place on the basis of business terms, such as profit, added value and profitability.

Who is this book for?
The aim of this book is to provide all people involved in maintenance with the right tools to demonstrate the real contribution that this function can make to the profit or profitability of their organization. So this book is a 'must-read' for operational managers, maintenance managers, maintenance engineers, senior staff, financial staff members and CEOs, in fact everybody who has an interest in how maintenance can be viewed as a business-driven process. It is also for post graduate courses on maintenance and business engineering, and everybody who plays a role in the maintenance function of a company.
Creating operational excellence is the methodology for the maintenance function to show its contribution to the profit of a company. This refreshing new book from Tim Zaal fills the gap between how top managers and maintenance managers think about handling assets in relation to maintenance and operational activities.

The Little Black Book of Reliability Management provides the reader with a fresh but comprehensive perspective on the subject of reliability management. It challenges the reader to consider "what he has a right to expect" based on his current reliability programs. And it describes the programs and discipline needed if the reader desires the "right to expect" a higher level of reliability performance. This unique resource is perfect for individuals working in plants and in other organizations that are dependent on the reliability of complex physical assets.
FEATURES
·Provides much of the information needed to organize a reliability program at a company or in a plant that does not currently have one.
·Features a simple description of a number of reliability subjects and techniques in a manner that readers can easily understand.
·Describes the data that must be collected and the analysis that should be done at each phase during the lifecycle of a physical asset.
·Starts the user down the path of collecting data, mapping failures to causes and implementing the elements of a comprehensive reliability program in an order that best serves his needs.
·Devotes a chapter to pattern recognition and identification of the relationships between identified patterns and failures.
·Provides real-life examples.
·Contains examples of documents and spreadsheets needed to apply recommendations at the readers own plants and shops.

Improving Maintenance & Reliability Through Cultural Change
Improving Maintenance & Reliability Through Cultural Change
OVERVIEW
This unique and innovative book explains how to improve your maintenance and reliability performance at the plant level by changing the organizations culture. It is specifically intended for middle managers in the manufacturing and process industries. This book demystifies the concept of organizational culture and links it with the eight elements of change: leadership, work process, structure, group learning, technology, communication, interrelationships, and rewards. If you want to break the cycle of failed improvement programs and instead use cultural change to help make significant and lasting improvements in plant performance, this book will show you how.
FEATURES
Explains in-depth the eight elements of change and how they relate to cultural change.
Discusses cultural change with a reliability focus.
Presents the subject in a way that middle managers will be able to understand and apply.
Includes a PowerPoint presentation with audio on the enclosed CD-ROM, together with a web survey model, the Web of Organizational Change.
