Inhaltsangabe

The authors use their decades of experience and draw upon real-world examples to demonstrate that the application of their techniques provides a basis for equipment management, uptime maximization, and reduced maintenance costs. The text explores reliability assessment techniques such as Failure Mode, Effect Analysis, and Fault Tree Analysis of commonly encountered rotating machinery. These are all highly effective techniques that the engineer can apply to maximize uptime and thereby maximize production and profitability.

GeitnerProfessional Engineer, Ontario, Canada• Provides the tools to drastically improve machinery productivity and performance• Bridges the gap between the theory of “reliability engineering” and the practical day-to-day measures that lead to machinery uptime • Authoritative reference for maximizing the uptime of process equipmentThis fifth edition of Maximizing Machinery Uptime continues with the authors’ extremely successful and highly respected methods of ensuring the proper maintenance and ongoing reliability of equipment. With its focus on prevention, the book covers optimum machinery management from design through installation and maintenance. This is an authoritative reference for maximizing the uptime of process equipment, as well as bridging the gap between the theory of “reliability engineering” and the practical, day-to-day measures that lead to machinery uptime. The authors use their decades of experience and draw upon real-world examples to demonstrate their techniques for equipment management, uptime maximization, and reduced maintenance costs.
