A Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) policy is a procedure used by maintenance personnel to interpret a set of measured machine condition indicators and decide whether or not to renew a physical asset at the current moment. Traditionally CBM data interpretive policies … Continue reading
Expected failure time for an item whose maintenance policy is time-based
Let Tc be the time of a cycle, tp the preventive maintenance time interval, and T the failure time. The expected life cycle Tc will be the planned maintenance time tp multiplied by the probability that planned maintenance does occur, plus the … Continue reading
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.
