Availability Engineering and Management for Manufacturing Plant Performance

Written as a project plan flowchart, this book shows how to cost- effectively maintain manufacturing plant equipment for maximum reliability and maintainability. The flowchart can easily be customized for specific plants and challenges. Divided into six sections, it covers: the definition and value of availability performance; the conceptual design phase; the basic design phase; the detailed design phase; the construction and startup phase; and the commercial operations phase. For manufacturing, plant and general managers, plant design engineers, and maintenance operation managers.
