I've read a number of books on Maintenance Management and all have their strengths and weaknesses. This book is by far the best on the topic. The authors did a good job of making the subject matter light and interesting. The content is delivered in an easily understandable manner, but still very practical. Many books fall into the too-managerial trap and start just number-crunching. This book is useful for all who are wanting a broad knowledge of the topic. If your looking for a book that covers the wide perspective on Maintenance Management, in just the right depth (without too many sluggish graphs and numbers) you've found it.

I'm the Senior Advisor of service and asset management implementations for IFS North America. I've often thought about writing a maintenance primer to help with my implementations that isn't as engineer oriented as the RCM books. But upon reading Mr. Gulati's book I don't need to anymore. It's a perfect guide for setting up a maintenance program and I have and will continue to recommend it to my customers and colleagues.

I'm only about a third of the way through th iij s book but wow!. This is by far the best book on the subject I've ever read. The author is, thankfully, ageless.
