Combined analysis for early predictive maintenance
In an article in Machinery Lubrication Using ‘Unscheduled’ Oil Analysis for Early Predictive Maintenance author Jim Fitch expounds from the premise that we may advance potential failure detection by conducting other tests in addition to the primary PdM method. Figure 1. Early Predictive Maintenance P-F Interval Scheme (Source LivingReliability Inc. June 2103) Many RCM consultants…

Automating CBM
It has been said, with considerable justification, that a condition based maintenance policy is of little practical use to a maintenance organization unless it can be automated. Proliferating oceans of condition data have outpaced the limited human resources that can be dedicated to CBM decision making. The solution is to automate CBM – not only…

Deploying the CBM model
Automated CBM decisions It has been said that unless CBM can be automated, its usefulness is minimal. That is because there just aren’t enough human resources in a maintenance department to eyeball data as it arrives and decide on a reasonable preventive action. As data proliferates driven by ever growing technology the gap will widen…

Building a CBM decision model
EXAKT modeling application You will learn the basic functions of the EXAKT model building software and the EXAKT decision agent software. You will use a reduced set of oil analysis data from a fleet of haul truck transmissions to build a proportional hazards model. Then you will deploy this model as an “intelligent agent” that…

EXAKT cost sensitivity analysis
Progress seldom proceeds smoothly. It occurs in steps. A new strategy of some kind usually precedes each step. If the strategy is right the individual or organization moves forward and benefits. The wrong strategy, however, will generate decisions that delay or even reverse progress. Often the long term results of a strategy are not obvious.…
