Synopsis

Stories of PM: A Complete Primer of Preventive Maintenance

A Visual, Engaging, and Surprisingly Fun Journey into the World of Preventive Maintenance!

Stories of PM isn’t just a maintenance manual—it’s a full-color, story-driven experience that explains preventive maintenance in a way you’ll actually want to read. Through illustrations, humor, real-world scenarios, and unforgettable characters like Mite-y Maintainer, Joel Levitt—renowned maintenance educator and author—delivers hard-earned wisdom that transforms how we think about keeping things running.

Whether you’re tightening a bolt, inspecting a conveyor, training new techs, or designing your PM program from scratch, this book gives you the why, what, when, and how behind every successful effort. You’ll explore the origins of PM, failure modes, TLC (tighten, lubricate, clean), CMMS integration, inspection best practices, high-tech sensors, and the pitfalls of over-greasing or pencil-whipping PM sheets.

Learn how to:

• Extend equipment life and boost uptime

• Turn simple inspections into powerful defect detection

• Get buy-in from your team using humor, logic, and leadership

• Design PMs that are worth doing—and actually get done

With a mix of engineering logic, practical application, and comic-book energy, Stories of PM is perfect for technicians, supervisors, reliability engineers, or anyone serious about improving asset reliability.
