Primum non nocere!Thanks for "publishing" (and be damned?) there, Dave. I will take a detailed look at it all later.
But immediately I should say that, noticing that you have kindly acknowledged Ottawa there ... I also notice (in the downloads) elements of both Larry Fennigkoh and Brigid Smith (F&S) and (more importantly) Mike Capuano and Steve Koritko (C&K), who expanded upon the original F&S idea. Perhaps I had better mention the later work of Binseng Wang and Alan Levenson (W&L) as well!
My point being, of course, that (as usual) we are "standing upon the shoulders of giants". Which (and on a personal note) just goes to show that some of us old timers are not actually stuck in the past, after all!
But I don't think we should worry too much about "who invented maintenance" (CM, CBM, PPM, PM, RCM ... and all the other acronyms). No single person has that claim, surely (unless it was some old dude back in the days of Noah ... a bit before my time, then). But the real point is to build upon what has gone before, in the light of experience and evolving (improving?) technologies ... and then move forward!
