The book Maintainability, Availability, and Operational Readiness provides a comprehensive guide to advanced strategies and procedures for this vital function. Once equipment has been purchased, anywhere from four to forty times its purchase price may be spent on maintenance and repairs. Preventive maintenance engineering can significantly contribute to productivity and cost-reduction in any industry dependent upon machinery and equipment. The ability to monitor, quantifies, and predicts maintenance needs ensures the highest equipment availability at the lowest cost. Aimed at professional engineers and managers as well as students, the Maintainability, Availability, and Operational Readiness handbook includes problems, learning suggestions, and complete references. The book explains how to design equipment for ease of maintenance, and, how to quantify the maintainability, reliability, availability, and operational readiness of all types of maintained equipment.
