What is "Lean?" Whether referring to manufacturing operations or
maintenance, lean is about doing more with less: less effort, less
space, fewer defects, less throughput time, lower volume
requirements, less capital for a given level of output, etc. The
need to provide the customer more value with less waste is a
necessity for any firm wanting to stay in business, especially in
today's increasingly global market place. And this is what lean
thinking is all about.
Lean Operations are difficult to sustain. More Lean Manufacturing
Plant Transformations have been abandoned than have achieved true
Lean Enterprise status.
There are solid and recurring reasons for both of these conditions.
The most significant of these reasons is that production support
processes have not been pre-positioned or refined adequately to
assist the manufacturing plant in making the lean transformation.
And the most significant of the support functions is the
maintenance operation, which determines production line equipment
reliability. Moving the maintenance operation well into its own
lean transformation is a must-do prerequisite for successful
manufacturing plant - or any process plant - Lean Transformations.
This Handbook provides detailed, step-by-step, fully explained
processes for each phase of Lean Maintenance implementation
providing examples, checklists and methodologies of a quantity,
detail and practicality that no previous publication has even
approached. It is required reading, and a required reference, for
every plant and facility that is planning, or even thinking of
adopting "Lean" as their mode of operation.
* A continuous improvement strategy using new "lean" principles
* Eliminate wasteful practices from your manufacturing or chemical
processes, increasing the profitability of your plant
* Save thousands of dollars a year on new equipment by keeping your
existing equipment maintained using this revolutionary method
Rules of Thumb for Maintenance and Reliability Engineers will give
the engineer the "have to have" information. It will help instill
knowledge on a daily basis, to do his or her job and to maintain
and assure reliable equipment to help reduce costs. This book will
be an easy reference for engineers and managers needing immediate
solutions to everyday problems. Most civil, mechanical, and
electrical engineers will face issues relating to maintenance and
reliability, at some point in their jobs. This will become their
"go to" book.
Not an oversized handbook or a theoretical treatise, but a handy
collection of graphs, charts, calculations, tables, curves, and
explanations, basic "rules of thumb" that any engineer working with
equipment will need for basic maintenance and reliability of that
equipment.
- Access to quick information which will help in day to day and
long term engineering solutions in reliability and maintenance
- Listing of short articles to help assist engineers in resolving
problems they face
- Written by two of the top experts in the country
Industrial Machinery Repair provides a practical reference for
practicing plant engineers, maintenance supervisors, physical plant
supervisors and mechanical maintenance technicians. It focuses on
the skills needed to select, install and maintain
electro-mechanical equipment in a typical industrial plant or
facility.
The authors focuses on "Best Maintenance Repair Practices"
necessary for maintenance personnel to keep equipment operating at
peak reliability and companies functioning more profitably through
reduced maintenance costs and increased productivity and capacity.
A number of surveys conducted in industries throughout the United
States have found that 70% of equipment failures are self-induced.
If the principles and techniques in this book are followed, it will
result in a serious reduction in "self induced failures."
In the pocketbook format, this reference material can be directly
used on the plant floor to aid in effectively performing day-to-day
duties. Data is presented in a concise, easily understandable
format to facilitate use in the adverse conditions associated with
the plant floor. Each subject is reduced to it simplest terms so
that it will be suitable for the broadest range of users. Since
this book is not specific to any one type of industrial plant and
is useful in any type of facility.
-The new standard reference book for industrial and mechanical
trades
-Accessible pocketbook format facilitates on-the-job use
-Suitable for all types of plant facilities
