Methodologies and Techniques for Advanced Maintenance
The management of technical plants for productivity and safety is generally a complex activity, particularly when many plants in one territory are affected, quality guarantees and cost results are required, and the technology involved is heterogeneous and

Preface
The literature on the technical and scientific theory of maintenance and other related disciplines (maintenance engineering, statistical dependability, etc.) is substantial and relatively exhaustive today. Despite the fact that it is quite probably true that technological and scientific progress does not take place through great leaps forward, but through small, continuous steps, which are not made by individual scientists, but by mankind as a whole, we cannot forego reflection on the changes underway in our time, which almost seem to constitute the arrival at the top of a peak, after a journey travelled at increasingly high speed during the twentieth century. The spread of the personal computer, the Internet and the most disparate range of virtual environments of communication and ‘‘socialisation’’ has been a profound and radical step forward in people’s professional and private lifestyles, which must be taken into account in drawing up the umpteenth publication on a scientific subject. This is the starting point we want to set out from in writing this volume. The world is not changing; the world has changed, and this has an important influence on the way we study, conduct research, experiment and publish the results of our researc
