“… an excellent book that provides an extensive coverage of managerial issues and quantitative methods that will help in the decision making process. … The authors have extensive experience in maintenance engineering and management. This book is a good summary of the state of the art in this important field. I believe that it is a very useful book at undergraduate or postgraduate level, for students in industrial and mechanical/manufacturing engineering. It should also serve as a good reference book for others interested in or working with related problems. I will certainly recommend it to my students.”
―Professor Min Xie, City University of Hong Kong

“Andrew and Albert’s book focuses on “when” to do activities such as component and capital replacements, and inspections and what resources are required. Understanding how to do this assists practitioners in improving the timing and resourcing of their decisions with consequent cost and risk benefits. It is invaluable in the way it provides real examples of these decisions in an accessible way for the maintenance and reliability practitioner.”
―Professor Melinda Hodkiewicz, University of Western Australia

“The authors approach the subject in a logical and systematic way which reflects their many years of teaching and research background directly related to the topics covered in the book. … They provide easy to understand engineering explanations to decision models and mathematical expressions facilitating easy applications of these models in practical engineering works.”
―Uday Kumar, PhD, Luleå University of Technology, Sweden
