Background
This handbook on Maintenance Management has been written by a working group within European Safety, Reliability and Data Association (ESReDA).

ESReDA is a non-profit making association of European industrial and academic organisations concerned with advances in the safety and reliability field. The association always welcomes comments, contributions and ideas concerning this and other handbooks published by the association and invites contribution for further development needs in the reliability data field.

Although members of ESReDA are companies, research institutes, universities and authorities, this handbook would not have been possible without substantial individual effort. Members of the working group have produced its contents without any financial support and have devoted considerable free time to the task.

Considerable experience has been put into this publication. ESReDa is proud to present the results of the work and hopes it will benefit the many organisations and individuals world wide concerned with maintenance management and data.

ESReDA
ESReDA (European Safety Reliability & Data Association) is a European Association established in 1992 to promote research, application and training in Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety (RAMS). The Association provides a forum for the exchange of information, data and current research on Safety and Reliability and a focus for specialist expertise.

Working group
