R. Keith Mobley Editor in Chief Seventh Edition by Lindley R. Higgins and Darrin J. Wikoff .
FOREWORD :
Some
engineering fields change dramatically from year to year, with radical
breakthroughs in technology happening often. These fields may have hundreds or
more papers and texts published each year on the latest best practices.
Maintenance engineering is a field which, for the most part, hasn’t
fundamentally changed much over the years. And there aren’t many sources for
the latest information or best practices. But in recent years, maintenance
engineering has, more and more, put an emphasis on true reliability.
A
business which is asset-intensive, such as manufacturing, relies on a
reliability-centered field of engineering to be successful. In my opinion,
reliability engineering itself has become a technology used for the purpose of
improving manufacturing capacity, without capital investment. The Maintenance
Engineering Handbook has long been regarded as the premier source for expertise
on maintenance theory and practices for any industry. This text has been
considered invaluable and now, this latest edition defines those practices that
are critical to developing an effective reliability engineering function within
your business.
PREFACE :
This
“Maintenance Engineering Handbook” is written, almost exclusively, by those
people who have had to face the acute never-ending problems of equipment
failures, repairs, and upkeep, day by day, hour by hour, midnight shift by
midnight shift. They understand better than most the extraordinary demands that
every maintenance manager, planner, and craftsperson must face and overcome to
meet the everchanging maintenance requirements of today’s plant. It is the
function of “Maintenance Engineering Handbook” to pass along invention,
ingenuity, and a large dose of pure basic science to you, the user. This then
is your key, your guide, and your chief support in the tempestuous battle of
Maintenance in the days and years ahead.
Lindley R. Higgins, as editor-in-chief of the
first five editions of this handbook, established a standard for excellence
that we have attempted to maintain in this seventh edition. Through the
excellent help of maintenance professionals, we have updated those sections
that were in the earlier editions and have added new topics that we believe
will help you survive in the battle against excessive downtime, high
maintenance costs, and the myriad other problems that you as a maintenance
professional must face each day.
