This book provides an introduction to the concept of "excellence" in the several forms of maintenance used during the life of any system or facility. Unlike most books that tend to focus on just one of the areas of maintenance, this book looks at all the distinct forms of maintenance including: Routine Maintenance, Turnaround Maintenance, Program Maintenance, Project (Maintenance) Management, Reliability in Maintenance, Predictive and Preventive Maintenance, and Precision Maintenance. Rather than simply focusing on "how to get the work done", this concise resource focuses on Maintenance Excellence and meeting its objectives more effectively and more efficiently. Uniquely designed for busy people who want and need to learn more about maintenance excellence but have a limited amount of time to do so, each chapter is designed to provide a stand-alone learning opportunity for individuals who have an opportunity to pick the book up over lunch or whenever the opportunity arises. Additionally, it emphasizes the part that effective and efficient maintenance plays in achieving good reliability so it provides an excellent companion for The Little Black Book of Reliability Management which was designed to be used in the same manner. This set of books is intended to provide the young professionals working in this area with a quick introduction to all the subjects they will need to learn. It is also intended for more senior managers and executives who are not experts in either maintenance or reliability, but need to be conversant with its elements.

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is an extremely effective strategy for increasing industrial competitiveness in today's worldwide economy. Enlightened company leaders are recognizing that TPM is a "best of class" manufacturing improvement process. Yet some U.S. firms have been only partially successful in implementing a TPM program. Now, two American authors thoughtfully consider how TPM fits into an overall manufacturing improvement strategy for North American companies. "Implementing TPM "provides details on implementation planning and deployment based on the authors' own experiences in accommodating TPM to the distinctive needs of North American plants. It offers an approach to TPM planning and deployment that modifies and builds on the 12-step process advocated by the Japan Institute of Plant Maintenance. Key chapters review overall deployment steps, methods for calculating equipment effectiveness in different settings, and the seven autonomous maintenance steps. Of special interest are chapters on implementing TPM in union environments and in conjunction with other initiatives, such as continuous flow manufacturing and Eli Goldratt's "theory of constraints." Consultants Charles Robinson and Andrew Ginder bring a depth of knowledge to their "in the trenches" experience with companies implementing TPM. Their book offers a real-world perspective on what works and what doesn't and cuts through the perceived complexity of TPM's comprehensive, company-wide approach. Their overall purpose is "to help companies analyze the value of TPM as a strategy for achieving excellence in their field." Aimed at an audience of plant and division managers, business managers, and first-line supervisors, " Implementing TPM "is an excellent resource for strategic planning and an educational tool for middle and upper management.
