Modern plants do not need maintenance professionals who only know how to repair equipment after it fails. They need people who understand systems, reliability, failure mechanisms, and how maintenance decisions affect the entire organization. INDUSTRIAL MAINTENANCE ENGINEERING gives you a comprehensive foundation for understanding, maintaining, troubleshooting, and improving the physical assets that keep modern industry operating. Inside, you'll learn how to:Understand maintenance engineering from reactive repair through preventive, predictive, and reliability-centered maintenance Apply industrial safety principles including LOTO, electrical safety, confined-space procedures, machine guarding, and risk assessment Work confidently with bearings, lubrication, fasteners, belts, chains, gears, couplings, pumps, compressors, and rotating machinery Understand hydraulics, pneumatics, piping, valves, boilers, steam systems, and heat exchangers Build stronger knowledge of three-phase power, transformers, switchgear, motors, VFDs, PLCs, SCADA, robotics, and instrumentation Diagnose developing equipment problems using vibration analysis, infrared thermography, oil analysis, ultrasound, electrical signature analysis, and NDT Apply MTBF, MTTR, availability, Weibull analysis, FMEA, fault-tree analysis, and root-cause methods Improve maintenance planning, scheduling, spare-parts management, CMMS use, and shutdown execution Connect maintenance decisions to ISO 55000 asset management, life-cycle cost, sustainability, digital twins, AI, and modern plant strategy Black-and-white instructional infographics, quick-reference appendices, a preventive-maintenance checklist, glossary, and further reading reinforce key concepts throughout. Whether you're a technician advancing toward engineering responsibilities, a reliability professional, engineering-technology student, maintenance manager, or plant engineer, this book helps you see equipment not as isolated machines—but as interconnected assets whose performance can be systematically improved.Build the engineering mindset behind world-class maintenance—get your copy today.
