This book refers to Discipline Number 5 based on the original book I wrote in 2009 on World Class Maintenance - The 12 Disciplines. Almost all industries have their Preventive Maintenance, but still, many problems emerged and the question is can we do something about it. Many maintenance people from industries are not satisfied with their current Preventive Maintenance even if they are complying with every single maintenance task listed. My sole intention in writing this book is to provide a guide and direction to help maintenance in industries get the results in doing the correct Preventive Maintenance on their equipment and assets. In today's digitalization era, and with all these advanced CMMS and EAM software, apps, technology, cloud, smart sensors, Industrial Internet of Things, and automation, the majority of industries are jumping on the bandwagon thinking that these technologies will optimize their asset. I have nothing against technology, but what I am stating is that everything will boil down to one thing and that is addressing the basics first. The goal and objective of having Preventive Maintenance are to prevent or anticipate a failure or breakdown from happening first. The keyword in this case is being first. This means that we need to perform an activity or task before failure happens. But the thing is we need to be precise in what failures can be addressed by PM since not all failures can be prevented in the first place. Here are some of the highlights of this book.

Author Biography:
Rolly Angeles is a seasoned technical and international reliability and maintenance trainer and consultant. His portfolio of reliability and maintenance training includes maintenance management and reliability courses on Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), Planned Maintenance, Autonomous Maintenance, Lubrication Strategy, Tribology, Oil Contamination Control, Condition-Based, Predictive Maintenance, Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM), Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA), Planned Maintenance, World Class Maintenance Management (WCM), Proactive Maintenance, Maintenance Indices, KPI and more.Rolly is a graduate of Mechanical Engineer from Mapua Institute of Technology in the Philippines, batch 1985, and passed the Licensure Board Examination the following year in 1986. With 30 years of solid experience, he had worked in various industries from shipping, woodworking, foundry, cast-iron machining, assembly lines, semiconductor manufacturing, and the mining industry. From 1994 to 2002, Rolly worked as a TPM senior engineer at Amkor Technology Philippines, a Multi-National company engaged in the manufacture of integrated circuit products, and spearheaded Amkor's Planned Maintenance Organization, composed of maintenance managers and engineers. He was responsible for the dramatic reduction of their machine's unplanned breakdowns in their TPM journey as well as RCM implementation on their facilities and utilities Air Handling Units (AHU) and their sub-station equipment. Here is where he had gained hands-on experience and understanding of both TPM and RCM, respectively. His last corporate employment was in 2002, where he worked as a technical training specialist at Lepanto Consolidated Mining Industry. In 2005, Rolly retired early from the industry and decided to establish his own consulting business, RSA Reliability and Maintenance Consultancy Firm, where he dedicates his time and passion to work as an independent reliability and maintenance consultant and provides in-house training, consultation, and facilitation to different industries on Maintenance Best Practices.
