Analyzing maintenance as an integrated system with objectives,
strategies and processes that need to be planned, designed,
engineered, and controlled using statistical and optimization
techniques, the theme of this book is the strategic holistic system
approach for maintenance. This approach enables maintenance
decision makers to view maintenance as a provider of a competitive
edge not a necessary evil. Encompassing maintenance systems;
maintenance strategic and capacity planning, planned and preventive
maintenance, work measurements and standards, material (spares)
control, maintenance operations and control, planning and
scheduling, maintenance quality, training, and others, this book
gives readers an understanding of the relevant methodology and how
to apply it to real-world problems in industry. Each chapter
includes a number exercises and is suitable as a textbook or a
reference for a professionals and practitioners whilst being of
interest to industrial engineering, mechanical engineering,
electrical engineering, and industrial management students. It can
also be used as a textbook for short courses on maintenance in
industry. This text is the second edition of the book, which has
four new chapters added and three chapters are revised
substantially to reflect development in maintenance since the
publication of the first edition. The new chapters cover
reliability centered maintenance, total productive maintenance,
e-maintenance and maintenance performance, productivity and
continuous improvement.

Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) involve substituting machines
capable of performing a wide and redefinable variety of tasks for
machines dedicated to the performance of specific tasks. FMS can
also be programmed to handle new products, thus extending the
machines' life cycles. Thus they represent a change from
"standardized goods produced by customized machines" to "customized
goods produced by standardized machines." This volume contains new
and updated material in this field, and will be of great interest
to researchers, managers and students concerned with problems
related to flexible manufacturing systems.
