I was wondering if anyone can recommend any good books that introduce CMMSs in general.
What I have found is most are a little too advanced for someone on the deckplate level like me. Perhaps a CMMS or reliability for dummies manual?

Sean there is a wealth of free information on CMMS on my website at http://www.pemms.co.uk and also on the ReliabilityWeb site at http://www.reliabilityweb.com/.

More to the point - is there a good book on CMMS/EAM? I have read a few but they have not delivered what I expected.

Your site (and your personal service for people seeking cmms solutions) is a great cmms/eam resource - as is Plant-Maintenance.com and MaintenanceResources.com - but what is your favorite printed book on CMMS?

Terrence, I have to admit that I don't read much on CMMS (just can't find the time) so I don't have one.

Edit: I should add that I consider myself quite skilled at rooting out information on the Internet. That has become my primary source.

Time is scarce resource for all of us.

The internet is a great source but I am still fond of books and magazines. There is just something about print!

I just find it curious that there is no definitive book on CMMS/EAM.
