This book is complete, detailed, structured & full of good information that is easy to follow. It is the best book that I have bought on the subject of maintenance management to date, and is now one of the few constant companion books that travel with me. I would recommend Asset Maintenance Management to anyone in any field of maintenance management. At least one of the articles has a definite electrical diagnostic slant for our electrical bretheren.

My only criticisms would be that the spell checker wasn't functioning particularly efficiently at the time of editing, and I've noted that at least two of the graphics have been partially cut off at the base. Finally, this book is based entirely around fixed processing plant, and as yet have no seen no applications of the information to mobile plant.

In closing, maintenance principles, philosophies, strategies & tactics are roundly universal and this book is a "must-buy" for anyone of any maintenance persuasion seeking to continue down the road of Continuous Improvement.

Ever wondered what a book would look like if it was written chapter by chapter by some of the best authors in the field? Well, buy this book and you will know. The structure of the book is very good and covers a lot of ground. Many of the chapters (in fact most of them) are also very good, this is not just a high level and superficial treatment.
The problem (and I think it is a significant problem) is that all the authors have different styles of writing and slightly different emphasis when addressing issues. The result is a book that has a lot of information, but isn't really the guide it claims to be - the flow is insufficient to guide the reader through a process.
The book is good, it just isn't great which is a pity as the need is there.
