We live in an era where technology develops at a dizzying pace and competition intensifies daily. For industrial facilities to survive, not only production but also its continuity and reliability are as crucial as product quality. At this point, maintenance and repair are no longer a mere "cost item" but a strategic factor directly impacting profitability.

My primary goal in writing this book is to provide a comprehensive reference source for those working in this field by covering maintenance and repair management and engineering not only from a practical perspective but also from a theoretical perspective.

Throughout the book, I have thoroughly explored both classical maintenance techniques and modern approaches evolving with digitalization. This work brings together a wide range of topics, from field problems to case studies, from predictive maintenance technologies to occupational safety practices.

I have prepared this book to be useful to a wide range of readers, from engineers and technicians working in production facilities to academics and students.

In this era of increasing thirst for technical knowledge, I hope this book will contribute to the development of a maintenance culture.

Sincerely,
Fahri YILMAZ
