Lean maintenance is a practical book that almost instantly can contribute to your organization’s success. It also is intended to be part of a larger effort to reduce the environmental footprint of the maintenance effort. Lean Maintenance will take the reader on a journey form uncovering waste, designing projects to address the waste, selling the projects to management, and finally, delivering the projects. Every area in maintenance is covered, including TPM, the storeroom, PM tasking, work orders, and computer systems. Finally, Lean Maintenance will provide examples at every step of the way to guide the reader, and also includes forms and checklists for successful Lean projects
This book’s unique feature is its immediate usefulness. Readers can open the book and start the process of saving money, energy, or time within an hour. They could have a savings project designed and executed within a day. While there is ample support information, much of the book concentrates on revealing the hidden waste in every nook and cranny of the maintenance effort.
Lean Maintenance is written for anyone in a leadership position in maintenance, production, or the storeroom, such as supervisors, managers, planners, engineers, and directors. It will also be enormously useful to vendors of all types, including maintenance contractors, parts vendors, and a wide range of service providers to maintenance departments.
