CBM Optimization
What do we mean by CBM (condition based maintenance) optimization? We mean, simply, how to "correctly" interpret and act upon data from our condition monitoring (CM) program. Is the decision to act, and the action itself the "right" one? The "best" one? How do we define "best"? What does the "best" time and action depend on?

A History of CBM (condition based maintenance)
Physical asset managers attempt to implement policies that maintain the functionality of machinery and other production assets at a level required by their users, owners, and by society at large. They select "proactive maintenance" as their first line of defense against causes of equipment failure.

CBM (Condition Based Maintenance) Expert Systems
A rule-based expert system encapsulates known relationships between CM data and the deterioration in an asset that takes place due to one or more failure modes. An algorithm (known as inference engine) applies the knowledge base to the current set of CM data.

Anatomy of Condition Based Maintenance (CBM)
The decision to perform CBM (condition Based maintenance) flows from a fundamental analysis of the physical asset's maintenance requirements, we turn our attention to the composition of a CBM task. We keep the over-riding concerns in mind. That is, we elect to conduct only applicable and effective CBM procedures.

Monte Carlo Simulation
We gather information in the course of our day-to-day maintenance activities in order to deepen our understanding of failure so that we may better manage its causes and control its consequences.... The capacity to perform "what if" analysis in order to consider the future impact of policy changes, would, without doubt, assist the physical asset manager...

Time to Failure
Failures do not happen at fixed times. They occur randomly according to a probability distribution.

Introducing EXAKT, EWOP, and Reliability-centered knowledge management
All software products fulfill a set of functions. But software requires that a user embrace the application's “culture” in order to use the program effectively.
