Interviews

Q: Professor Jardine, why did you develop EXAKT?
A: Condition based maintenance is the most desirable form of maintenance, yet, former students, now maintenance professionals, told me that they find often that their current CBM programs, such as oil analysis, don’t deliver the intended results. I asked how “exactly” their staff interpreted condition monitoring data. In other words, how did they decide whether or not to remove an item for repair? Their answers led me to investigate whether a more rigorous decision methodology might improve the payback on the rather large investment they were making in condition based maintenance.
