Description
Rules of Thumb for Maintenance and Reliability Engineers will give the engineer the ?have to have? information. It will help instill knowledge
on a daily basis, to do his or her job and to maintain and assure reliable equipment to help reduce costs. This book will be an easy
reference for engineers and managers needing immediate solutions to everyday problems. Most civil, mechanical, and electrical engineers
will face issues relating to maintenance and reliability, at some point in their jobs. This will become their ?go to? book.
Not an
oversized handbook or a theoretical treatise, but a handy collection of graphs, charts, calculations, tables, curves, and explanations,
basic ?rules of thumb? that any engineer working with equipment will need for basic maintenance and reliability of that equipment.
Audience
Industrial Engineers, Maintenance and Reliability Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Technicians, Maintenance Managers, Field Engineers, Corporate Maintenance and Reliability Managers
