asset to designed capacity , not to add additional capabilities, they should be treated as
maintenance costs.
Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) - Same as predictive maintenance. Maintenance
based on the actual condition of an asset determined from noninvasive measurements
and tests. CBM allows maintenance actions to be optimized by avoiding traditional
calendar or runtime directed maintenance tasks.
, Corrective Maintenance (CM) - Repair actions initiated as a result of observed or
measured conditions of an asset after or before the functional failure. These repairs will
restore the asset to normal operating conditions
