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…

EXAKT for complex items
Abstract-Using failure and condition data for a Mill pinion bearing, EXAKT software was evaluated on how it performs prognostic modeling for complex items with multiple condition monitoring variables. It was found out that Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) based failure data is a pre-requisite for EXAKT, and that it requires the failure and condition data in…

Maintenance Decision Support Pilot at Orica
Abstract – Does condition monitoring deliver the results you expect. Can we sharpen the saw and make a more informed reliability decision? The project investigated the use of a Maintenance Decision Support tool and how it may be used to improve reliability decisions based upon failure prediction. Data collection and manipulation proved to be the…

The elusive P-F interval
This article discusses the P-F Interval for CBM decision making, its areas of usefulness, and those areas where it is inadequate as a predictive maintenance strategy. An alternative more general approach based on the EXAKT system is proposed. Two categories of decisions, the first driven by failure probability, the second driven by both failure probability…

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…
