Decision for Condition Monitoring based Maintenance (CDM) equipment It is beyond the scope of this technical article to discuss the development of performance and dependability models for analysis, assessment and justification of CDM program. The scope is kept limited to some basic issues that should be taken into consideration while deciding to develop CDM strategy for the industry. The impact of any maintenance initiatives, including condition monitoring, should be predictable and measurable, and indeed somewhere around the performance and dependability of the operating unit. Among the most sensible measures of performance is the production rate or throughput of the plant. However, in performance and dependability analysis, the “random” nature of failures should not be forgotten. Also the industry should remember that condition monitoring systems, especially fully integrated technologies, themselves, are susceptible to faults and failures and require due care (maintenance).
