EXAKT needs LRCM
The most important practical issue from our experience is that EXAKT cannot give satisfactory service to a typical maintenance department without the LRCM process implemented. The reason for this is that EXAKT is extremely sensitive to the accuracy of discrimination of Event Type and to the consistency of Failure Mode selection both of which are…

Measuring and Improving CBM Effectiveness
Maintenance departments regularly implement policies and technology aimed at improving maintenance effectiveness. However engineers who implement and justify such projects in the maintenance department often encounter difficulty when trying to quantify, credibly, a project’s impact on maintenance or on asset performance. The problem lies in the many factors governing Performance Metrics at different time periods. How…

A survey of signal processing and decision technologies for CBM
Introduction Condition-based Maintenance recommends actions based on information acquired through observation and analysis. We note, moreover, that the CBM process, itself contains three sub-processes or steps: data acquisiton, signal processing, and maintenance decision making.

CBM Optimization
Nature, and therefore humankind, must optimize to survive and prosper. Each species in the animal kingdom strives for the best long term results of its actions. Whether divinely designed or as a result of natural selection, activity is calculated (optimized) to balance low energy expenditure with maximum caloric intake. No less true is a business’s…
