NASA's book on Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) is the Gold Standard as far as I am concerned. I have worked in facility design, construction and maintenance for over 40 years and this is the resource I turn to on the subject. Rather than following a haphazard, hit-and-miss approach to facility maintenance, NASA takes a common-sense approach that is methodical and not overblown. This is the way to go if you are concerned about budget AND reliability /availability. Because - let's face it - everything has a cost and facilities budgets can only go so far. There is always a list of projects on backlog waiting for funding. This book shows how to prioritize those projects and make the best use of limited resources. Variations of RCM are employed by thousands of public and private organizations world-wide to address a host of reliability issues in order to improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) while controlling the Life-Cycle Cost (LCC) inherent with Asset Management and Facility Stewardship.
Why buy a book you can download for free? We print this book so you don't have to.
First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it's the latest version (not always easy). Some documents found on the web are missing some pages or the image quality is so poor, they are difficult to read. We look over each document carefully and replace poor quality images by going back to the original source document. We proof each document to make sure it's all there - including all changes. If you find a good copy, you could print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people (typically its either out of paper or toner). If it's just a 10-page document, no problem, but if it's 250-pages, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour.
It's much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com
