Publisher's Synopsis
This "how-to" book explains for the first time what is required to bring maintenance to be a full player in a firm's business success. Eleven business disciplines must be engaged to realize the long-standing vision for maintenance to become part of business success. By com-parison, the well known mainte-nance and reliability best practices span five of the eleven. The six missing disciplines span strategic planning, finance and accounting, budgeting, variance reporting and forecasting, audit and control, and ERP-type technologies. The book explains the principles of each and how to apply them to changing the firm's income statement, balance sheet, statement of cash flow and returns.
