Welcome to the wonderful, practical world of fluid analysis utilization. There are plenty of labs around the world processing millions of oil, coolant, and fuel samples every year. Most of them do very professional work, however, the data received from them usually fall into two main categories: 1). The information is incomplete for a true machine health assessment, or; 2). At the user's end, nobody is acting on the information at a level that would allow good, proactive maintenance activity. The sad truth is that very few companies make use of the valuable information contained in fluids. This work, Fluid Analysis for Mobile Equipment, supports all activity around fluid analysis so managers can lay a more solid foundation for maintenance. It serves as a major contribution to both the science and art of fluid analysis, and is destined to become the cornerstone of every successful condition-based maintenance program. The examples and recommendations will have direct application to implement a true predictive maintenance program. More than 100 examples come from real-life cases, and reflect what many fleet managers encounter in their daily challenges.

Caroline has written a compelling story about a fictional, privately held manufacturing company that is facing serious challenges when the owner of the company suddenly dies, and his daughter is left to take over the business. It clearly explains the process necessary for a company to adopt the latest thinking about planning and management as the organization struggles to adapt to the changing needs of customers as they become ever more demanding. This book can be read by anyone with an interest in how businesses can be run more efficiently and effectively. "--Keith Lauchbury, CFPIM, CIRM, CSCP, CDDP, Past President of APICS, the premier professional association for supply chain management"For more than 15 years, I have been involved with education in the field of sup-ply chain management. The Missing Links has been a real inspiration for showing how to explain both fundamental and advanced concepts of business management, supply chain management, and innovation. The storyline of the book makes it easy to understand the importance and leverage of supply chain management concepts, even for smaller companies. It was a pleasure reading about the development and transformation of a small traditional company into a modern, next-century enterprise. The way innovative concepts and methods have been applied in the book is logical and helps readers quickly get over a steep learning curve. I will definitely recommend this book to my supply chain management students."--Andrea Walbert, CPIM, CSCP, PLS, CDDP Managing Partner, PMI (Production Management Institute) GmbH"I wish all textbooks were written like this one! The Missing Links is easy to read and understand, written as a realistic story about the development of a factory, and set up as a detective story. The work is great for remembering supply chain management concepts. as an NLP Master trainer and International Leadership trainer, I especially enjoyed Caroline's use of metaphors to enhance understanding and to use as memory hooks. This shows how you can 'walk your talk, ' whether you are a president of a company or a student."--Eva Hyllstam, NLP Master Trainer and International Leadership Trainer, Business Owner, World Trade Center, Gothenburg, Sweden

Provides the reader with a concise yet informative description of all the various forms of maintenance. Highlights the important elements of each of the various forms of maintenance and how to go about organizing those elements in his plant or facility.Offers the reader with the tools needed to integrate initiatives leading to improved reliability with each kind of maintenance.Provides the reader with tools needed to enhance effectiveness and efficiency in each kind of maintenance.Gives both new and more experienced plant and shop personnel with a tool they can use to develop a consistent understanding of maintenance excellence so they can identify common goals and consistent objectives.  Includes forms and formats that can be used for the following: Job Delay Survey, Accountability-Responsibility Matrix, Role Description, Project Control Document, and Work Scoping Form. This book provides an introduction to the concept of "excellence" in the several forms of maintenance used during the life of any system or facility. Unlike most books that tend to focus on just one of the areas of maintenance, this book looks at all the distinct forms of maintenance including: Routine Maintenance, Turnaround Maintenance, Program Maintenance, Project (Maintenance) Management, Reliability in Maintenance, Predictive and Preventive Maintenance, and Precision Maintenance. Rather than simply focusing on "how to get the work done", this concise resource focuses on Maintenance Excellence and meeting its objectives more effectively and more efficiently. Uniquely designed for busy people who want and need to learn more about maintenance excellence but have a limited amount of time to do so, each chapter is designed to provide a stand-alone learning opportunity for individuals who have an opportunity to pick the book up over lunch or whenever the opportunity arises. Additionally, it emphasizes the part that effective and efficient maintenance plays in achieving good reliability so it provides an excellent companion for The Little Black Book of Reliability Management which was designed to be used in the same manner. This set of books is intended to provide the young professionals working in this area with a quick introduction to all the subjects they will need to learn. It is also intended for more senior managers and executives who are not experts in either maintenance or reliability, but need to be conversant with its elements.IntroductionDefining Maintenance ExcellenceWhat Make a Work Management Process Work?Operating in Different Time FramesThe Routine Maintenance ProcessThe Turnaround ProcessThe Program Management ProcessThe Project ProcessThe Reliability ProcessReliability-Centered MaintenancePredictive MaintenancePreventative MaintenancePrecision MaintenanceOperators Role in Maintenance ExcellenceMaintenance MeasuresAppendixReferences for Further Reading
