Equipment Management in the Post-Maintenance Era: A New Alternative to Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)
If you are at all responsible for equipment management, especially in high tech, you need to read this book. And give it to your boss. Dr. Peng has illustrated in great detail why equipment maintenance should no longer be considered a standalone function but rather a strategic competitive opportunity that impacts all facets of the organization.—Kurt A. Beiter, PhD., Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, Stanford UniversityThis book points out, in substantial clarity, that while numerous concepts have been adopted and applied over the years (such as TPM, Predictive Maintenance, etc.) they fall short of meeting the significant challenges of the future–especially in the world of hi-tech, complex equipment … an absolutely superb account of the history of equipment maintenance and the progression of new advances that have taken place over the past few decades.—John W. Davis, author ofProgressive Kaizen: Leading the Lean Initiative, andFast Track to Waste-Free Manufacturing
