The quest for reliability is long overdue! In the case of many operations, realization of sustained reliability is still a work in progress. Very few organizations have completed the journey to world-class reliability. The vast majority still operate within a reactive culture, allowing response to repetitive failures to consume an excessive proportion of already limited maintenance resources, and leaving too few for performance of any proactive activities. In today's competitive international environment, enterprise survival is a battle of the fittest. To survive, organizations must achieve "world-class" stature, characterized by wellness, readiness, and application required for a company to successfully compete globally. That's why Maintenance and Operational Reliability is so important. This work is organized by the foundation and 5 Pillars of Maintenance/Reliability Excellence, plus 24 Building Blocks, as depicted throughout the book. This pillar graphic shows the functions, management techniques, systems, information sources and performance management vital to the maintenance and reliability process, and also serves as an important visual aid for the education of the entire organization. So, how is the ultimate, but challenging reliability goal to be achieved? Are you prepared to manage, support, process, and interpret the magnitude of information in real time, critical to making the right business decisions to achieve a competitive advantage? The authors, two veteran maintenance and reliability experts, have collected all the essentials leading to reliability here, in one practical resource, connecting and sequencing the integral pieces for world-class reliability. Features Guides readers through the journey from classic reactive repair upon failure to reliable, proactive maintenance, engineered to preclude failure and, ultimately, to sustain reliability. Clarifies roles and responsibilities of involved functions while explaining control tools to be deployed by each position. Provides the overriding business justification required to gain senior management commitment.

Many serious accidents have happened in the world where systems have been large-scale and complex, and have caused heavy damage and a social sense of instability. Furthermore, advanced nations have almost ?nished public inf- structureandrushedintoamaintenanceperiod.Maintenancewillbemore- portant than production, manufacture, and construction, that is, more ma- tenance for environmental considerations and for the protection of natural resources. From now on, the importance of maintenance will increase more and more. In the past four decades, valuable contributions to maintenance policies in reliability theory have been made. This book is intended to s- marize the research results studied mainly by the author in the past three decades. The book deals primarily with standard to advanced problems of main- nance policies for system reliability models. System reliability can be mainly improved by repair and preventive maintenance, and replacement, and rel- bility properties can be investigated by using stochastic process techniques. The optimum maintenance policies for systems that minimize or maximize appropriate objective functions under suitable conditions are discussed both analytically and practically. The book is composed of nine chapters. Chapter 1 is devoted to an int- duction to reliability theory, and brie?y reviews stochastic processes needed for reliability and maintenance theory. Chapter 2 summarizes the results of repair maintenance, which is the most basic maintenance in reliability. The repair maintenance of systems such as the one-unit system and multiple-unit redundant systems is treated. Chapters 3 through 5 summarize the results of three typical maintenance policies of age, periodic, and block replacements.

This book represents a significant step towards improving the knowledge of, and communications between, members of the Maintenance and Reliability Profession.With more than 3000 entries, the compilation reflects a virtual explosion of commonly practiced concepts, ideas, methodologies and various approaches to maintenance and reliability improvements. An additional directory of maintenance and reliability acronyms is included.Maintenance and reliability involves many different people in many different roles. If we are expected to work efficiently, productively, and harmoniously on tasks and projects, there is need for a common language for communication. It is the goal of The Professional's Guide to Maintenance and Reliability Terminology to provide this basis.Robert Baldwin, Ramesh Gulati, and Jerry Kahn, have served the maintenance and reliability profession in many capacities for decades. Together, they have over 100 years of experience working in this field. All are Certified Maintenance and Reliability Professionals (CMRPs).

Introducing a groundbreaking companion book to a bestselling reliability text Reliability is one of the most important characteristics defining the quality of a product or system, both for the manufacturer and the purchaser. One achieves high reliability through careful monitoring of design, materials and other input, production, quality assurance efforts, ongoing maintenance, and a variety of related decisions and activities. All of these factors must be considered in determining the costs of production, purchase, and ownership of a product. Case Studies in Reliability and Maintenance serves as a valuable addition to the current literature on the subject of reliability by bridging the gap between theory and application. Conceived during the preparation of the editors' earlier work, Reliability: Modeling, Prediction, and Optimization (Wiley, 2000), this new volume features twenty-six actual case studies written by top experts in their fields, each illustrating exactly how reliability models are applied. A valuable companion book to Reliability: Modeling, Prediction, and Optimization, or any other textbook on the subject, the book features: * Case studies from fields such as aerospace, automotive, mining, electronics, power plants, dikes, computer software, weapons, photocopiers, industrial furnaces, granite building cladding, chemistry, and aircraft engines * A logical organization according to the life cycle of a product or system * A unified format of discussion enhanced by tools, techniques, and models for drawing one's own conclusions * Pertinent exercises for reinforcement of ideas Of equal value to both students of reliability theory as well as professionals in industry, Case Studies in Reliability and Maintenance should be required reading for anyone seeking to understand how reliability and maintenance issues can be addressed and resolved in the real world.
