Review

The book is well written and its organisation is logical. At the end of each chapter ample references for further reading are given. The book can be used for students at the undergraduate or graduate level. The book can also be very useful for practitioners, since the authors did not limit themselves just to develop a theoretical concept, but also proved its usefulness and provided guidelines for developing the underlying computer support - "International Journal of Production Research"

4.0 out of 5 stars Good MRP principles for Maintenance Management., May 2, 2000

This review is from: Maintenance Resource Management: Adapting Materials Requirements Planning MRP (Hardcover)

The book clearly brings out how to use the MRP II principles for Maintenance Management. The second and third chapters are very important in which the authors have explained the process of creating the Bills of Maintenance and the Master maintenance schedule with examples. I feel the creation of Master Maintenance Schedule as explained in the book is very logical and practical.

The design of Maintenance management systems have been well thought about and well written. The concepts of process modelling and entity relationships have been explained sufficiently and clearly, and one can easily grasp the concepts in one read. The "Thumb rules" for determining the number of tables, given the relationships between entities (presented in the appendix) is quite helpful if one starts desigining the Maintenance Management system. In some places, the authors have gone "over board" by modelling the behaviour using some statistical distributions. However I would say, the authors have made a beginning towards a proactive approach to integrated maintenance management.
