The most complete and current guide to every aspect of maintenance engineering—updated to reflect the latest advances in the industry 

The most comprehensive resource of its kind, Maintenance Engineering Handbook has long been a staple for engineers, managers, and technicians seeking current advice on everything from tools and techniques to planning and scheduling. Since the last edition was published, there have been exponential technology advancements that directly affect maintenance and maintenance engineering function.

Recent changes in technology, especially those of predictive analytics, wireless-cloud-base data acquisition, and smart sensors have radically changed the landscape of both engineering and maintenance management. This updated edition integrates these advances into a comprehensive approach to maintenance management with proven best practices for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO), inventory management, root-cause analysis, and performance management.

Featuring contributions from noted experts in the field, Maintenance Engineering Handbook, Ninth Edition will help engineers reduce excessive downtime and high maintenance costs by detecting and mitigating repetitive failures.
