Without a mechanism to evaluate a Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) program’s evolving performance CBM activities will degenerate to “busy work”. Data will continue to be collected, manipulated and filed as a matter of routine. To counter this tendency of human nature, managers periodically justify, in terms of profitability and safety, the resources allocated to CBM. Reliability engineers assist by reporting, assessing, and continuously improving CBM predictive capability.
