The text explores reliability assessment techniques such as Failure Mode, Effect Analysis, and Fault Tree Analysis of commonly encountered rotating machinery. These are all highly effective techniques that the engineer can apply to maximize uptime and thereby maximize production and profitability. *Provides the tools to drastically improve machinery productivity and performance *Bridges the gap between the theory of "reliability engineering" and the practical day-to-day measures that lead to machinery uptime *Authoritative reference for maximizing the uptime of process equipmentElectronic reproduction.Amsterdam :Elsevier Science & Technology,2007.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Web browser.Title from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).Access may be restricted to users at subscribing institutionsIndustrial managementMachinery in the workplaceOrganizational effectivenessElectronic books.localBloch, Heinz P.,1933-Original07506772529780750677257(DLC) 2006000796(OCoLC)63125805Bloch, Heinz P.,1933-Practical machinery management for process plants ;v. 5.Referexhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780750677257An electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for informationTable of contentshttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip066/2006000796.html.b1365212603-03-2224-01-08991003229559707536Maximizing machinery uptime1213415UNISALENTOle02624-01-08m@ -engne 00
