Basically, predictive maintenance differs from
Disadvantages
preventive maintenance by basing maintenance needs
• Increases investment in diagnostic equipment
on the actual condition of the equipment, rather than
• Increases investment in staff training
on some predetermined schedule. A predictive maintenance approach strives to detect the onset of equipment degradation and to address the problems as they are identified. This allows causal stressors to be eliminated or controlled, prior to any significant deterioration in the physical state of the component or equipment. This leads to both current and future functional capabilities. Recall that preventive maintenance is time-based. Activities such as changing lubricant are based on time, like calendar time or equipment run time. For example, most people change the oil in their vehicles every 3,000 to 5,000 miles traveled. This is effectively basing the oil change needs on equipment run time. No concern is given to the actual condition and performance capability of the oil. It is changed because it is time. This methodology would be analogous to a preventive maintenance task. If, on the other hand, the operator of the car discounted the vehicle run time and had the oil analyzed at some periodicity to determine its actual condition and lubrication properties, he or she may be able to extend the oil change until the vehicle had traveled 10,000 miles. This is the fundamental difference between predictive maintenance and
There are many advantages of using a predictive maintenance program. A well-orchestrated predictive maintenance program will all but eliminate catastrophic equipment failures. Staff will then be able to schedule maintenance activities to minimize or eliminate overtime costs. And, inventory can be minimized, as parts or equipment will not need to be ordered ahead of time to support anticipated maintenance needs. Equipment will be operated at an optimal level, which will also save energy costs and increase plant reliability. Past studies have estimated that a properly functioning predictive maintenance program can provide a savings of 8% to 12% over a program utilizing preventive maintenance strategies alone. Depending on a facility’s reliance on a reactive maintenance approach and material condition, savings opportunities of 30% to 40% could easily be realized. In fact, independent surveys indicate the following industrial average savings resulted from initiation of a functional predictive maintenance program: • Return on investment: 10 times
