4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent source for CMMS and maintenance mgt information., May 9, 1998

By 

Bob Cook ([e-mail]) (Beavercreek, Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (Hardcover)

The Preface of the book says: "This book is designed to assist anyone who is investigating the possiblity of using a computer in the maintenance function. It provides the information necessary to successfully evaluate, select, and implement a CMMS." That's a very accurate statement. Along with providing that information, the author presents a concise discussion of the goals and objectives of all maintenance organizations. Finally, The Maintenance Organizational Maturity Grid appears to be a great tool for helping a maintenance organization decide where they are and where they might want to go. It's a book that ought to be on every maintenance managers book shelf. After she's read it, of course. The book is 175 pages long, and a very easy read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple yet complete guide to CMMS, December 17, 2001

By 

Todd McFarland - See all my reviews

This review is from: Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (Hardcover)

In Computerized Maintenance Management Systems , Terry Wireman provides the maintenance manager with a good introduction to all aspects of CMMS implementation and use. His principal accomplishment is adequately covering the subject in 162 pages and resisting the temptation litter his work with unnecessary topics and details.

Wireman's straight-to-the-point style is emphasized by his inclusion of useful tools, such as a maintenance organization maturity grid, a detailed maintenance audit checklist, a requirements template for CMMS, detailed cost justification worksheets, and, of course, a top-ten list of problems to avoid.

Computerized Maintenance Management Systems is a worthwhile read for anybody involved in maintenance, and especially so for those in the incipient stages of installing their own CMMS.

1.0 out of 5 stars can't judge a book by its cover? try its table of contents, March 9, 2006

By 

Benjamin Samuel "toddles" (Sydney, NSW, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (Hardcover)

Please ignore the truly absurd and misleading comments about this "extensively revised second edition of Terry Wireman's landmark introduction to CMMS". This appalling book reminds me to always look at the table of contents and then also index to gain an impression of the quality of analysis and thinking behind it. If Risk Management Systems by Martin Gorrod scores 99/100 as a survey of software in a one domain then Terry's book scores a 1/100 in another. bad, bad, bad. (sorry terry)
