Why use Condition Based Maintenance?

July 19, 2012
(Predictive Maintenance and Condition Monitoring Management)

The Return on Investment (ROI) for a Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) program can be significant.

There are two aspects to the ROI:

1) Reduction in wasted maintenance resources performing unnecessary maintenance

2) Reduction in equipment downtime due to insufficient maintenance being performed.

Utilizing CBM allows an organization to balance these two aspects of ROI using a data driven approach. Thus CBM will always produce the maximum level of ROI.

  • I absolutely agree with Terry's comment. Condition Monitoring will not replace most PM's and should not be expected to. What it will do for you is to add to your knowledge and help you determine if you only need to do part of the PM, the full PM or add to the PM.
