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.
