Handbook of Maintenance Management 2nd Edition, Kindle Edition
Handbook of Maintenance Management 2nd Edition
Scrolling through the chapters listed below explains this book better than I could hope to. I will say not only is Handbook of Maintenance Management a must-read for maintenance managers, but it should also be required reading for Plant Managers, Directors of Operations, Vice Presidents of Manufacturing, or any other leadership role that affects maintenance.
I would also add I own the Kindle version as well as the paperback copy. The Kindle is great for copying and printing key text. Kindle also allows you to add notes and bookmarks.
I purchased my copies of The Handbook of Maintenance Management from Amazon.
