Maintenance has become one of the most important aspects of industrial activities. It directly affects quality, productivity, profit, safety and environment. This compact yet comprehensive book deals with almost all the maintenance systems available in literature. These systems are divided into groups and subgroups, and the text gives, for better understanding, a comparison of these on the basis of their advantages and disadvantages. Besides, the text discusses the methods of selecting a maintenance system for industrial plants as well as for individual equipment. It focuses on the policies, strategies and options that can be adopted for selecting a proper maintenance system. KEY FEATURES : Presents the maintenance system in the form of a simple and logical flow chart that is easy to understand, follow and use. Discusses Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM), and Quality Maintenance (QM). Describes the various systems along with explanation, comparison and stages. The book is intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Engineering (Mechanical/Industrial and Production Engineering) and postgraduate students of management. In addition, practising managers should find the book quite useful.

The 'institutional' approach to organizational research has shown how enduring features of social life - such as marriage and bureaucracy - act as mechanisms of social control. Such approaches have traditionally focused attention on the relationships between organizations and the fields in which they operate, providing strong accounts of the processes through which institutions govern action. In contrast, the study of institutional work reorients these traditional concerns, shifting the focus to understanding how action affects institutions. This book sets a research agenda within the field of institutional work by analyzing the ways in which individuals, groups, and organizations work to create, maintain, and disrupt the institutions that structure their lives. Through a series of essays and case studies, it explores the conceptual core of institutional work, identifies institutional work strategies, provides exemplars for future empirical research, and embeds the concept within broader sociological debates and ideas.

Maintenance is a critical variable in industry to achieve competitiveness. Therefore, correct management of corrective, predictive, and preventive politics in any industry is required. Maintenance Management considers the main concepts, state of the art, advances, and case studies in this topic. This book complements other subdisciplines such as economics, finance, marketing, decision and risk analysis, engineering, etc.The book analyzes real case studies in multiple disciplines. It considers the topics of failure detection and diagnosis, fault trees, and subdisciplines (e.g. FMECA, FMEA, etc.). It is essential to link these topics with finance, scheduling, resources, downtime, etc. to increase productivity, profitability, maintainability, reliability, safety, and availability, and reduce costs and downtime.This book presents important advances in mathematics, models, computational techniques, dynamic analysis, etc., which are all employed in maintenance management.Computational techniques, dynamic analysis, probabilistic methods, and mathematical optimization techniques are expertly blended to support the analysis of multicriteria decision-making problems with defined constraints and requirements.The book is ideal for graduate students and professionals in industrial engineering, business administration, industrial organization, operations management, applied microeconomics, and the decisions sciences, either studying maintenance or who are required to solve large, specific, and complex maintenance management problems as part of their jobs. The book will also be of interest to researchers from academia.
