Complete Guide to Predictive and Preventive Maintenance
Second Edition
By Joel Levitt 2011, 408pp., illus., ISBN: 978-0-8311-3441-9, $49.95
This book shares the best practices, mistakes, victories, and essential steps for success which the author has
gleaned from working with countless organizations. Unlike other books that only focus on the engineering
issues (task lists) or management issues (CMMS), this in-depth resource is the first to give true emphasize to
the four aspects of success in preventive maintenance systems--engineering, management, economic, and psychological
-- thereby enabling readers to have a balanced view and understanding of what is happening in their
organizations. Additionally, it blends concrete actionable steps and structures with the theory behind the steps.
FEATURES
• Includes check sheets, history of PM, stories, photographs, and case histories.
• Contains a glossary of terms.
• Provides sample task lists for a variety of equipment with some of the logic behind each task.

Design for Reliability:
Developing Assets that Meet The Needs of Owners
By Daniel Daley 2011, 250pp, illus.,ISBN: 978-0-8311-3437-2, $44.95
None of the few Design for Reliability (DFR) books currently available addresses the process from the
owner’s (or buyer’s) perspective. Instead, they approach DFR strictly from the seller’s (or manufacturer’s)
viewpoint. As a result, few assets are designed and developed with the intent to meet the future owner’s specific
needs for reliability, availability, and maintainability over the life of the asset. In this groundbreaking new
book, Dan Daley intends to correct the imbalance in how DFR is often implemented by providing owners with
the tools they need to ensure that their requirements - not the seller’s - are followed in developing new assets.
This book will be an invaluable guide to everyone involved in the design, development, or purchase of new
assets. It will help owners take the necessary steps to get what they really need, and it will help sellers “deliver
the goods” that their customers – the owners – actually want.
FEATURES
• Explains how to properly integrate DFR activities with conventional design activities.
• Provides a simple system to ensure DFR activities are completed on time.
• Provides spreadsheets and forms needed to portray design results in a clear and usable format.
• Includes the tables and forms needed to support the design processes and procedures presented in
each chapter.
• Includes appendices that provide an example specification that owners can modify when procuring a new
asset and example tables useful in assessing how well the DFR process has met the owner’s needs.
Table of Contents: Introduction. Differences in Perspectives. DFR for the Seller’s Business Model. DFR for
the Owner’s Business Model. Reliability Analysis. Availability Analysis. Maintainability Analysis. Organizing
for Concurrent Engineering. Obtaining the Cooperation of the Seller. After the Purchase is Completed.
Conclusion. Appendices. Index.
