Hi Friend,
It is summer in the northern hemisphere and it seems like more than half the world is on vacation!
So, for those wanting to brush up on their spare parts management skills during this time here is a list of books that you might like to consider:
Spare Parts Inventory Management Addresses the essential issues confronting spare parts management throughout the entire lifecycle of inventory management, from establishing a system for management, identifying the need for a part, to physical management and even final disposal.
Smart Inventory Solutions 2nd Ed. Takes you through an in-depth understanding of spare parts inventory optimization and fully describes the Inventory Cash Release® Process.
The Optimization Trap A work of fiction that tells the story of a Maintenance Engineer tasked with optimizing spare parts inventory. As he goes about the task he makes many mistakes and falls into the Optimization Trap. How does he recover from this?
A New Strategy for Continuous Improvement Explains in detail the process that I applied to transform a 24/7 manufacturing facility. I call this process the New Operations Improvement Cycle. Why a new cycle? We found that in practice the traditional plan-do-check-act cycle (developed nearly 100 years ago) has limitations that reduce its effectiveness.
These are available in various formats - hard copy, PDF, Kindle etc. (Although not all are in all formats.)
More information and links to purchase from different vendors are available HERE.

Keep on improving!
