Abstract
Numerous predictive maintenance programs serve as models for implementing a successful predictive maintenance program. The decision to establish a predictive maintenance program is the first step toward controlling maintenance costs and improving process efficiency in your plant. Unfortunately, many programs are aborted within the first three years, because a clear set of goals and objectives are not established before the program is implemented. Implementing a total-plant predictive maintenance program is expensive. After the initial capital cost of instrumentation and systems, a substantial annual labor cost is required to maintain the program. To be successful, a predictive maintenance program must be able to quantify the cost-benefit generated by the program. This goal can be achieved if the program is properly established, uses the proper predictive maintenance techniques, and has measurable benefits. The amount of effort expended to initially establish the program is directly proportional to its success or failure.
