4.0 out of 5 stars Don't do it without it!, July 13, 2001

By A Customer

This book was very helpful while doing a PM implementation and has since allowed me to make several enhancements to my implementation. Fortunately it touches on nearly every aspect of SAP PM and gets fairly in depth in many areas. If you are thinking about Plant Maintenance with SAP, don't think about doing it without this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Teaches the fundamental concepts of SAP PM, September 20, 2006

By	Carla Fair-wright "avid reader" (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews

Rather than trying to be a detailed guide to Plant Maintenance, a comprehensive reference book, or a source of answers to complex problems, Stengl tries to teach the fundamental concepts of SAP PM.

A very basic introductory book that demystifies the PM module. Aimed at the newcomer to SAP R/3, the book is a great guide. And a guide any new traveler must have to navigate the highways and back roads of SAP. It works best as a supplement to a SAP-PM course, but lacks the depth of a resource book.

In Chapter 4 - "Objects in R/3 PM", the authors do a good job of explaining the relationship of Functional Locations, Equipment, PM Assemblies, and Materials. Chapter 5 attempts to tackle breakdown and corrective maintenance, having worked as a Maintenance Planner, my first reaction was humor. In a perfect world, the roles of Maintenance Planner, Maintenance Technician, and Maintenance Controller would be this structured and defined. In the real world things are not so black and white.

Buy the book if you are new to SAP PM. It is a nice entry point. If you are approaching the Plant Maintenance with prior SAP experience then I recommend skimming the chapters in a bookshop before buying online.
