Writing in a language and style that engineers, managers, and supervisors alike can understand and easily apply, Narayan, a mechanical engineer, examines the role of maintenance in minimizing the risk of safety and environmental incidents, adverse publicity, and loss of profitability, and describes risk reduction tools and explains their applicability to specific situations. He details a risk reduction model that links maintenance to risk, and provides a table of fixed format codes that can be adapted for use in most maintenance management systems. Chapter previews and summaries, a glossary, and a list of acronyms are included. Annotation © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
