Maintenance and Reliability Best Practices 2nd Edition, Kindle Edition

Excellent condition of book and timely delivery

I'm only about a third of the way through th iij s book but wow!. This is by far the best book on the subject I've ever read. The author is, thankfully, ageless.

This is a great book for anyone who wants to understand how to improve your equipments reliability and help your company drive down the cost of operating. This edition follows up on Ramesh's first edition with added items on Change Management and testing at the end of each chapter for you to verify you understand the material. Getting to a Reliable State in your Plant is hard continuous work that is necessary to be competitive in today's industry. This material applies to any industry and Ramesh does a great job of explaining the sections in easy to understand language that makes sense. This book is for everyone in industry from Engineering, Purchasing, Finance, Maintenance, Production and Senior Managment.

The book is well written but lacks detail in some areas. Introduces concepts but doesn't give enough details about them, you have to go online or research elsewhere. Also has an example test in the first chapter but the answer to some of the questions are no where to be found in the book, you have to search elsewhere again.I didn't find much use in the accompanying workbook they also offer for this book; it just re-writes paragraphs already in the book and has a space to the right of each where you could write notes, I don't see the need for it. Just get a notebook and write the page number then write notes in the notebook for each topic.

I'm the Senior Advisor of service and asset management implementations for IFS North America. I've often thought about writing a maintenance primer to help with my implementations that isn't as engineer oriented as the RCM books. But upon reading Mr. Gulati's book I don't need to anymore. It's a perfect guide for setting up a maintenance program and I have and will continue to recommend it to my customers and colleagues.

I've read a number of books on Maintenance Management and all have their strengths and weaknesses. This book is by far the best on the topic. The authors did a good job of making the subject matter light and interesting. The content is delivered in an easily understandable manner, but still very practical. Many books fall into the too-managerial trap and start just number-crunching. This book is useful for all who are wanting a broad knowledge of the topic. If your looking for a book that covers the wide perspective on Maintenance Management, in just the right depth (without too many sluggish graphs and numbers) you've found it.

Great book for the use

Recommended as a great basis for reliability engineering and I agree that it is. Covers a wide range of topics from measurement and analysis techniques, to management strategies. Great read and reference.

Excelente livro para introdução/estudo de conceitos e melhores práticas de confiabilidade. Livro com uma linguagem simples e objetiva.

Good stuff

I think this book is "the best" about the RCM issue. I as looking for some kind of book like that for a while.

This is a wonderful book. I will say "a handbook for on the job use".It is a practical guideline for the best practices it fosters.I am humbled and respectful to Ramesh .Thomas Nounezi
