A Maintenance Management Framework for Municipal Buildings in Developing Economies by Babatunde Fatai Ogunbayo,Clinton Aigbavboa,Wellington Didibhuku Thwala Pdf

The central aim of this book is to investigate and develop frameworks to aid effective maintenance management of municipal buildings in the education sector of developing economies. Using the South African education sector as a case study, this book provides readers with two major practical insights. Firstly, it focuses on the theoretical underpinnings of maintenance management research and introduces a maintenance management model through the development of a conceptual framework. This framework aids in explaining the factors underpinning the maintenance of municipal buildings but can also be used in the assessment and management of other public buildings. Secondly, the book highlights and addresses theoretical gaps in existing studies essential for the maintenance management of buildings in developing economies, providing a stimulus for future research. The book will be of interest to researchers in construction management, building technology, estate management, civil engineering, architecture, and urban and regional planning. It is an essential manual for policymakers in the education sector, built environment, construction industry, facility maintenance, facility management and consultants at government ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) charged with maintenance management of public infrastructures and assets.

Cutting-Edge Maintenance Management Strategies by Rolly Angeles Pdf

During the start of this year 2020, I have been thinking a lot about the need to right my fourth book on maintenance. What title should I give this book and why? What industries need today are Cutting-Edge Maintenance Management Strategies that can be explained in a straightforward and simple manner for industries that they can easily adopt. Today what every industry need is a way on how to survive their competition and remain in business. I started drafting this book on March 16, 2020. We all know about this pandemic on covid 19, which have struck the whole world and affected so many businesses and industries in all countries globally. Many industries have been halted by this pandemic, and many jobs were lost as a result. Honestly speaking, I am not certain when this pandemic will end since as of this writing, the number of cases is increasing exponentially and vaccine is still unavailable. It is my hope that once everything goes back to normal, leaders in industries can learn from experience to manage the risks involved and sustain their assets more intelligently.When I first published my first book on World Class Maintenance Management the 12 Disciplines in 2009, I thought I have written everything there is to know in order to achieve a level of World-Class Maintenance Management. Through the years, what I learned so far is that having a World Class Maintenance is very different from achieving a World Class Reliability in the organization. There are also many developments and changes today in maintenance that we need to adopt. The reason for writing this book is not only for the readers to understand the new trends in maintenance, but also for them to understand the reason for using them. These strategies must be adopted by industries for their own advantage because in today's phase, the law of the jungle applies and that is, survive now or be left behind.Cutting-Edge Maintenance Management Strategies: This book also a sequel deals with the different cutting-edge maintenance strategies that must be adopted by industries in order for them to survive their competition. In industries today, the law of the jungle applies, survive of be left behind. Learn how these strategies can link together in building a solid maintenance structure in the plant. Finally understand Learn these cutting-edge maintenance strategies in helping build the reliability culture for industries.

Failure Mapping by Daniel T. Daley Pdf

Designed to be easy to read and perfect for busy people who have little time, this unique book provides an introduction to the new concept of Failure Mapping by comparing typical functions in an organization which benefits from Failure Mapping to one without. Through examples it shows how individuals in different roles can have their effectiveness enhanced by having access to historical Failure Maps describing past failures. While few of the individual concepts are new, the approach described ties established concepts together in a new and comprehensive manner. This resource describes the process used to create Failure Maps that connect Malfunction Reports (Function - Behavior) with Failure Modes (Component - Condition) to help users clearly understand the most likely final disposition based only on the initial report and the statistics produced by historical experience. It is sure to be found useful by novice Reliability Engineers, Maintenance and Reliability Managers, Engineering Managers, Plant and Corporate Senior Staff and Executives looking for ways to enhance performance, and Consultants who may want to enrich their portfolio by adding this tool. Describes issues that are particularly important to creating Failure Maps that record failure histories in a manner that the records will be useful in the future. Explains how Failure Maps can be used to improve reliability by identifying Failure Mechanisms while at work. Details how Failure Maps can be used to improve reliability by identifying Defects before failures can occur. Describes how Failure Maps can be used to increase the effectiveness of the diagnostic and troubleshooting process as a part of any help desk activity. Explains how to use Failure Mapping as a tool to improve the effectiveness of "triage" as a part of failure response in high volume activities. Includes several forms found useful in recording Failure Maps and creating reports. Provides readers with tools needed to enhance and set up their own Failure Mapping program. Offers both new and more experienced plant and shop personnel with a tool they can use to develop a consistent understanding of Failure Mapping, the roles in a Failure Mapping organization and the steps in implementing a Failure Mapping process.
