World Class Maintenance Management : The 12 Disciplines

About this WCM Book My intent in writing this book is not only to provide a strategic framework on what it takes for an industry to achieve a World Class Maintenance Management structure but to let each one of us understand the role of maintenance in our industry. The role of the maintenance function is not about eliminating failures but understanding that each failure has its own unique and distinctive consequences. Maintenance is not about repairing and scheduling equipment for repair. It is much more than that and that each of us who belongs to the maintenance function should stand proud because maintenance plays a major role in the success or failure of any industry. Achieving an excellent maintenance structure is not only about having the best Predictive Maintenance instruments and computer software in town, but it has more to do with the people, their culture, and how each maintenance thinks. This book is divided into three parts. Part 1 covers about the basic discipline that has often been neglected in our equipment. Part 2 refers to the intermediate discipline, which refers to the different strategies, which must be adapted on maintenance to improve our equipment reliability, and Part 3 covers about the more advanced disciplines. Part 1: Basic Discipline - Back to Basics - Discipline 1: Training and Education - Discipline 2: Set-up Maintenance Indices and KPI's - Discipline 3: Autonomous Maintenance - Discipline 4: Addressing Basic Equipment Condition - Discipline 5: Preventive Maintenance Part 2: Intermediate Discipline - Maintenance Strategies - Discipline 6: Spare Parts Management - Discipline 7: Life Cycle Management - Discipline 8: Lubrication Strategy - Discipline 9: Root Cause Failure Analysis - Discipline 10: Reliability Initiatives (TPM and RCM) Part 3: Advance Discipline - Specialized Strategies - Discipline 11: Predictive Maintenance - Discipline 12: Computerized Maintenance Management Software (CMMS) It is not easy to change a maintenance system that had been in place in the industry for many years, but it is possible for every company to transform from a firefighting to a world-class maintenance structure and this is the objective of writing this book. I have detailed every step so you can follow them thoroughly. Let us face the facts about your system of maintenance so we can learn from them. Many companies are struggling to survive together with their competition. Maintenance is one big factor where a company can save on cost if one has the right tools and knowledge to convert their maintenance task into an excellent maintenance structure. Reliability cannot be achieved by cutting costs but rather improving reliability will definitely reduce our maintenance and operating costs. There is no such thing as plant overnight success or one-day transformation. It will take several years to achieve a state of world-class maintenance structure. Being world-class is a long term and not a short term approach. It is a long journey, yet the time spent will be very rewarding. Achieving a world class maintenance structure is not about being the best, but giving it our best and doing it better. Having a world class maintenance structure is not about improving our equipment but improving the people maintaining our equipment. The focus will always be on the people. You need three things to make this happen, a plan, a team and a big heart. This book is about the first part which is having a plan; I leave the other two elements with you which are a team and a big heart. When your people unite into a common goal, only then can you realize that your maintenance people can move mountains. Millions of dollars can be saved on maintenance by adopting a change in your maintenance system. This is a book for every industry that dares to improve their maintenance human resources
