Asset Health Index versus Asset Condition ManagementTerrence O'Hanlon

1) Asset Health is a lagging indicator - and a noun - a description.

2) Asset Condition is a leading and lagging indicator - a noun and verb [action]

4) Asset Condition Management - managing the condition of your asset for an outcome of Asset Health - in alignment with organizational objectives.
