Summary: RCM A Missing Piece
Review: This book addressed maintenance of a system as the replacement of individual non-repairable components. However, it neglected to treat maintenace from the concept of a repairable system. I would refer readers to the book Repairable Systems by Ascher and Feingold for this type of analysis. In reality as a practitioner in both engineering and maintenanace, it is improtant to look at the system as a whole as well as the components. This is especially crtical in the decision as when to replace a system, which is a different analysis from when to replace a component.

Summary: The definitive textbook on RCM
Review: This book is the definitive textbook on RCM, the result of the accumulated experience of thousands of RCM reviews in nearly every industry and in dozens of countries around the world.It presents RCM's distinctive "systems" approach to maintenance, offering sophisticated criteria for deciding among four kinds of scheduled tasks (not simply the replacement of individual non-repairable components), and equally sophisticated criteria for deciding among two other kinds of failure management policies (including redesign) if scheduled tasks are not appropriate. If you wish to do RCM, you need this book plus a mentor to guide your early efforts. (How many of us learned to ride a bicycle without someone holding the handlebars?) But if you simply wish to understand RCM -- you need this book.

Summary: Excellent book to be used to improve reliability performance
Review: This book is well developed showing a methodology to improve or optimize your maintenance plans which is presented in this book as a team responsability. Could be better? Yes, if the last section dedicated to Failure Finding Intervals stablish relation or compare with other recommendations from International Institutions like ISA. I strongly recommend as an excellent book for Maintenance Engineers, planners or any person involved in asset healthcare program.
