CONDITION ASSESSMENTS IN PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE SYSTEMS
Course Background
Maintenance work in a Preventive Maintenance System is based on rigid cycle time as opposed to real time evidence of need as ascertained from inspections in a Predictive Maintenance System. Some 30% cost savings have been achieved in moving from the traditional Preventive/Cyclical-based system to a Predictive/Condition-based system in engineering installations maintenance.
Predictive Maintenance Systems requires objective inspection data, the variability in defect prognosis arising from subjectivity of inspectors needs to be addressed as a pre-requisite to implementation of Predictive Maintenance Systems. A Dutch standard NEN 2767, believed to be a world-first in Building Condition Assessment, seeks to provide uniformity in condition assessment, through an inspection protocol and reporting system based on defects classification and condition scores. The resultant condition data facilitates maintenance planning and prioritisation and serves as a means of communicating building technical condition between strategic, tactical and operational level decision makers.
