CBM Exercises
The exercise included on this page uses EXAKT CBM modeling software. EXAKT is an advanced Living RCM Certified® reliability analysis system that predicts a component’s remaining useful life based on its age and current condition. A maintenance department achieves continuous equipment reliability improvement by capturing and then analyzing accurate history data. The videos illustrate the…

Components of continuous improvement
The diagram illustrates that effective physical asset management depends on several categories of information and knowledge. The diagram points out the interaction among the standard components of maintenance management. These include: Knowledge base development (FMECA/RCM, troubleshooting aids, failure code tables, and safety related knowledge/) Work order management Condition and operation monitoring Analytic procedures These four…
