The Reliability Toolkit  (Paperback, Chiranjeevi Rai)

"This book is a simple and practical treatise for practicing engineers & maintenance technicians working in various manufacturing set ups in the world. Mostly maintenance crew struggles to prioritize on what they need to work on, and then understanding of how they need to do what they would do. This book will help them simplify their improvement interventions and align their efforts towards maximum productivity. The book begins with an introduction to the core concepts of reliability and then delves into explaining the mathematics of Reliability. The the book moves to maintenance – it explains the various philosophies while laying down a comparison of underlying practices, benefits and the limitations thereof and then talks about Maintenance Management. After this, the book explains the elements of “Criticality Assessment”, “Equipment FMEA” and “RCFA” and explainsAbout The Author (250 Words Approx) them with illustrative examples from the manufacturing industry. In the end, I want to say that Maintenance crews should focus on only two types of projects – MTBF improvement and MTTR reduction. I hope this book (or toolkit as I call it) will help simplify and codify maintenance practices in a ready-to-use manner for everyone dealing with equipment reliability."
