    Business Challenge
    Maintenance reviews are generally driven by the ageing of plant, deficiencies identified in the existing maintenance practice and unplanned shutdowns leading to deferred production.

    The outcome of such a review may lead to updating the maintenance procedures and practices with the objective of bringing maintenance practices in line with modern best practice and hence minimising the number of unseen failures.

    Solution
    Condition Based Monitoring (CBM) stems from the logical assumption that preventative repair or replacements of machinery would be optimally timed if they were to occur just prior to the onset of failure. The CBM objective is to obtain the maximum useful life from each physical asset before taking it out of service.

    The concept is to carry out maintenance based upon non-invasive, scientific measurement of condition related parameters. By recording a baseline of fault specific factors on plant or machinery whilst operating under normal conditions, any change in condition will be identified during subsequent routine surveys.

    What are the key benefits?

    - Maximise resources- Monitoring programs which achieve maximum uptime at acceptable cost
    - Identify and limit risk
    - Minimise financial liabilities
    - Maintain business efficiency-key performance indicators for monitoring of equipment.
    - Reduced responsibility for the duty holder to carry out inspections at every equipment load out / mobilisation
