Widely recognised by maintenance professionals as the most cost-effective way to develop world-class maintenance strategies, RCM leads to rapid, sustained and substantial improvements in plant availability and reliability, product quality, safety and environmental integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe author and his associates have helped users to apply RCM and its more modern derivative, RCM2, on more than 600 sites in 32 countries. These sites include all types of manufacturing (especially automobile, steel, paper, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and food manufacturing, utilities (water, gas and electricity), armed forces, building services, mining telecommunications and transport.

In the early 1980s, he began to focus on the industrial application of RCM under the guidance of the late F Stanley Nowlan. In 1986, he set up Aladon Ltd, a consulting and training company based in Lutterworth, UK. He is currently managing director of Aladon, which specialises exclusively in the development of reliability-centre management processes and their application to physical assets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction to Reliability-centred MaintenanceFunctionsFunctional FailuresFailure Modes and effects AnalysisFailure ConsequencesProactive Maintenance 1: Preventive TasksProactive Maintenance 2: Predictive TasksDefault Actions 1: Failure-finding\u003cbr\u003e Other Default ActionsThe RCM Decision DiagramImplementing RCM RecommendationsActuarial Analysis and Failure DataApplying the RCM ProcessWhat RCM AchievesA Brief History of RCM\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Reliability engineering [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Reliability engineering\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Reliability%20engineering%20%5BTGPR%5D%22\"\u003eTGPR\u003c\/a\u003e], Production engineering [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Production engineering\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Production%20engineering%20%5BTGP%5D%22\"\u003eTGP\u003c\/a\u003e], Engineering: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Engineering: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Engineering:%20general%20%5BTBC%5D%22\"\u003eTBC\u003c\/a\u003e], Production \u0026amp; quality control management [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Production \u0026amp; quality control management\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Production%20\u0026amp;%20quality%20control%20management%20%5BKJMV5%5D%22\"\u003eKJMV5\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Freshly Printed Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46648117330200,"sku":"9780750633581","price":45.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780750633581.jpg?v=1694088407"},{"product_id":"practical-machinery-vibration-analysis-and-predictive-maintenance-paperback-9780750662758","title":"Practical Machinery Vibration Analysis and Predictive Maintenance (Paperback) 9780750662758","description":"\u003cfont face=\"Georgia\"\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"6\"\u003ePractical Machinery Vibration Analysis and Predictive Maintenance\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDevelop and apply a predictive maintenance regime for machinery based on the latest vibration analysis and fault rectification techniques\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003eCornelius Scheffer (Author), Paresh Girdhar (Author)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e9780750662758, Elsevier Science\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePaperback, published 16 July 2004\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e272 pages\u003cbr\u003e26.4 x 19.5 x 1.8 cm, 0.59 kg\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eMachinery Vibration Analysis and Predictive Maintenance\u003c\/i\u003e provides a detailed examination of the detection, location and diagnosis of faults in rotating and reciprocating machinery using vibration analysis.

Key personnel have been the victims of early retirement or have moved to other industries: contractors and end-users have reduced their technical staff and consequently have to learn complex material ‘from scratch’. As a result, many companies are finding that they are devoting unnecessary man hours to the discovery and explanation of basic principles, and having to explain these to clients who should already be aware of them. In addition, the lack of understanding by contractors and users of equipment characteristics and operating systems often results in a ‘wrong fit’ and a costly reliability problem. The stakes can be high, and it against this background that this book has been published. It is the outcome of many years experience and is based on well-honed teaching material which is easily readable, understandable and actually enjoyable!This is a five volume set. The volumes are: 1. Fundamentals of Rotating Equipment 2. Pumps 3. Compressors 4. Auxiliary Systems5.
