A well ran PdM program
A well ran PdM program should consist of several thing 1) A Plan 2) Execution 3) Prioritization 4) Mitigation of issues found. Recommended actions should include oil analysis, vibration, ultrasonic and thermography routes and techs in place so that base lines can be established as soon as possible. The PdM program will be important to the overall success of any RCM system attempts. It is also a key part of a good strong CBM program, as it allows facts and data to come into play during discussions about critical equipment, and removes opinion and conjecture rather easily.
