System Health Monitoring and Prognostics – A Review of Current Paradigms and Practices

  • Chapter
Book cover Handbook of Maintenance Management and Engineering

Abstract

The oldest and most common maintenance and repair strategy is “fix it when it breaks”. The appeal of this approach is that no analysis or planning is required. The problems with this approach include the occurrence of unscheduled downtime at times that may be inconvenient, perhaps preventing accomplishment of committed production schedules. Unscheduled downtime has more serious consequences in applications such as aircraft engines. These problems provide motivation to perform maintenance and repair before the problem arises. The simplest approach is to perform maintenance and repair at pre-established intervals, defined in terms of elapsed or operating hours. This strategy can provide relatively high equipment reliability, but it tends to do so at excessive cost (higher scheduled downtimes). A further problem with time-based approaches is that failures are assumed to occur at specific intervals.
