Description:

There are three ways to run a condition monitoring department. You can operate in separate groups, each with their own opinion of the health of the equipment based on their chosen technology. You can become more integrated where at least there is a shared view of the health of an asset. But the best approach, in the author’s opinion, is where you take it one extra step: ensure the program is based on an analysis of the failure modes, ensure decisions are based on an assessment of the asset’s criticality, ensure that the people receiving the information understand what to do with that information, and provide one clear statement of asset health that is accessible to everyone who needs it. This presentation will discuss the pros and cons of each approach and explain how to achieve the optimum state.
