What you'll learn

  • Explain the P-F curve and why the P-F interval dictates monitoring frequency
  • Match the main condition monitoring techniques to the failure modes each one detects
  • Set alarm and alert levels using baselines and trends rather than single readings
  • Convert a condition monitoring diagnosis into a prioritised, planned work order
  • Justify condition-based maintenance economically against running to breakdown
  • Track programme health through detection successes, saves and missed catches
