Editorial Reviews
Review
Developing Performance Indicators for Managing Maintenance answers the questions that have been asked for years on how to assess maintenance effectiveness and its link to the bottom line of the business. It is a comprehensive, yet concise, compilation of down-to-earth performance indicators that companies and business leaders can use. -- Robert M. Williamson, President, Strategic Work Systems, Inc.
From the Back Cover
Written by a "nationally recognized expert" (Plant Engineering, January 1990), this book is designed to help managers focus on specific indicators that will enable them to maximize their company's equipment assets. For the first time, the author connects typical functional maintenance indicators to a company's strategic indicators. Besides assisting managers in developing performance indicators for maintenance management, Terry Wireman goes on to show how to improve low-performing indicators. The detailed table of contents helps readers quickly find specific indicators while the glossary of maintenance terms provides a useful ready reference.

3.0 out of 5 stars
A good starting point,
This review is from: Developing Performance Indicators for Managing Maintenance (Hardcover)
This book is primarily a "directory" on how to measure and then improve equipment maintenance management. Mr Wireman describes the basic methods of maintenance with chapters on the pros and cons of preventative maintenance, RCM, TPM and computerised maintenance managing software. It then describes the performance measures that can be used to effectively manage maintenance. This is a very good book for engineers wanting to improve the maintenance function, but if you are after a handbook on how to set up a PM, RCM or TPM program then this isn't the book you want.

Metrics Ratios,

This review is from: Developing Performance Indicators for Managing Maintenance (Hardcover)
This book is a truly useful product. Wireman gives a great overview of each of the maintenance management programs/philosophies and compares each by its outcomes. There are many, many examples of metric ratios with very clear explanations of what the metric is actually measuring and also what some of the pitfalls are if the data used in the metric is not accurate. I recommend this book as a useful library item for proposal writers (particularly in the government contracting arena) and for maintenance engineers looking to improve performance using KPI's.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Great place to get started,
By mygeekdaddy (Burnsville, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Developing Performance Indicators for Managing Maintenance Second Edition (Hardcover)
As others have written, this book is a great start. The sections on each aspect of maintenance activities is broken down clearly. The only problem I had with the book is the lack of detail he sometime had on how a person would try to select the records he mentions in a given KPI. Otherwise if your Maintenance Dept is just starting out to use KPI's to monitor maintenance activities, this book is a great resource to get ideas going on how you want to monitor your department's progress.
