Predictive
Maintenance Course Text - This text provides an overview of Predictive
Maintenance (PdM). Descriptions of 15 most used predictive technologies
form the heart of this text. Another 14 less commonly used technologies
are described in less detail.
Other subjects covered include the place
of PdM in the hierarchy of maintenance, its relationship to major
advancements such as Reliability-Centered Maintenance, Total Productive
Maintenance and Root Cause Failure Analysis.
Also described are elements of PdM philosophy, analysis methods, program
implementation best practices, and means of integrating it into present
day operations and maintenance. |
This book is
aimed at helping maintenance and reliability professionals start
up new predictive maintenance programs and improve, update or expand
existing ones. Attendees should already be familiar with application of
one or more predictive technologies such as Vibration Analysis, Infrared
Thermography, Lubricant and Wear Particle Analysis, Electric Motor
Testing, and/or Ultrasonic Detection and Analysis. It provides
information on the following subjects for supervisors, senior (lead)
technicians and “champions” involved with or considering a
predictive maintenance and condition monitoring program and its
expansion and improvement:
-
Predictive Maintenance Philosophy, Goals
and Objectives
-
Functions of a Predictive Maintenance
and/or Condition Monitoring in the Overall Strategy and Processes of
a Maintenance and Reliability Program
-
Commonly Used Predictive Analysis
Methods
- Trend Analysis
- Pattern Recognition
- Tests Against Limits or
Ranges
- Relative Comparison
- Statistical Process
Analysis
- Correlation Analysis

-
15 Ways of Strengthening a PdM Program
and Assuring Its Continuation
-
Auditing Your Present PdM Program to
Determine Gaps Needing Attention (new this year)
The text concludes with recommendations for strengthening
many elements of any predictive maintenance or condition monitoring
program, based on experience gained in over 100 audits conducted
worldwide by the authors and their associates.
