Maintenance Management

The book skilfully integrates traditional maintenance practices with modern methodologies, providing a balanced approach to maintenance management. It discusses key methodologies including reliability-centered maintenance, total productive maintenance, predictive maintenance, and digital transformation. Readers will gain practical insights into evaluating asset criticality, optimizing preventive maintenance tasks, analyzing root causes of failures, and implementing condition monitoring programs. This book:Integrates modern tools and strategies into the core maintenance framework, demonstrating how digital technologies and sustainability principles enhance—rather than replace—established best practices. Combines foundational theory with real operational case studies from mining and heavy equipment environments. Includes modern maintenance methods: predictive tools, digitalization, IoT, CMMS/EAM best practices. Offers actionable guidance on planning, scheduling, KPIs, cost tracking, audits, and continuous improvement. Integrates leadership, culture, sustainability, and future trends for a forward-looking maintenance strategy. It is primarily written for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and academic researchers in industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering, and operations research.
