The Cost of Maintenance Part 6

Restarting a program that has failed can be a daunting task…. If you do not understand the concepts as to why the program failed, in the first place.

The Cost of Maintenance Part 5

This is Part 5 of ‘The Cost of Maintenance.’ We are going to continue from where we left off this past summer.  To date we have covered a number of the reasons why maintenance and reliability programs fail, why equipment is left on the shelf and some of the general training issues that relate to the downfall of a potentially successful maintenance program.  We have also covered maintenance entropy, a condition where a successful program fails just because of its success and the lack of understanding of management as to the business model for maintenance.

The Cost of Maintenance

The Penrose Lecture Series on Cost of Maintenance will restart on November 2, 2005.
