Abstract

Condition monitoring is the activity of evaluating the current condition of a plant or apparatus, obtained through techniques that range from the use of complex computerised instruments to the exploitation of human sensitiveness, for the purpose of preventing breakdowns and implementing maintenance only in the presence of a potential breakdown and when it is most convenient on the basis of the production schedule (Williams et al. 1994).

Notes

  1. 1.

    In this sense, oil analysis often provides more timely indications than can be obtained through analysis of vibrations, inasmuch as the symptoms subject to monitoring occur before the symptoms detected from vibrations.

  2. 2.

    In the case of military aircraft, for example, it is sufficient to succeed in avoiding a breakdown every 10 years, to justify the expense sustained for monitoring”.

  3. 3.

    With a simple definition, it could be stated that IT is “the manner in which we collect, record, process and use information” (Davies 1998).
