Condition Based Maintenance

Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) is a maintenance strategy that focuses on monitoring the actual condition of equipment to determine when maintenance is required. This course introduces the principles, methods, and practical applications of CBM in industrial equipment and systems. Participants learn how to identify equipment health indicators and detect early signs of failure. The course covers condition monitoring techniques such as vibration analysis, thermography, oil analysis, and ultrasonic testing. It explains how sensors and monitoring systems can be used to collect equipment condition data. Participants also learn how to interpret trends, identify abnormal operating conditions, and assess equipment performance. The course introduces failure modes, equipment criticality, and risk-based maintenance planning. It also explains how condition data can support predictive maintenance and improve maintenance scheduling. Practical approaches to setting inspection intervals, alarms, and maintenance actions are discussed. Overall, the course helps engineers and maintenance professionals improve equipment reliability, reduce unexpected failures, and optimize maintenance costs.
