Discuss CIPS L4M8 Exam Topic 8 Question 60

Justify which of the five approaches to condition performance monitoring you think is the most cost effective within whole life asset management.

AExplanation:
Condition performance monitoring is a surveillance system that is designed to get the maximum production uptime and availability out of an asset. And this can be achieved by timely monitoring and measuring of temperature, vibration, output, speed, noise, emissions and quality. With this, decision has to be made as to what, if any, action needs to be taken. The five approaches to condition performance monitoring are as follows:
1. Do nothing: Use like a commodity. This will bring worries later.
2. Reactive: Fix it when it breaks. This will run to failure.
3. Preventive: Scheduled maintenance.
4. Predictive: Fix it before it breaks. Predict faults.
5. Proactive: Continuous improvement defect elimination.
The most cost-effective approach is 'Proactive', because is the only approach that has continuous improvement in the process, people and policies to minimize downtime. Being proactive takes defect out f the system and continuously harness opportunity that will optimize the system

I definitely recall that proactive is about eliminating defects, but I’m a bit confused about how that translates to cost savings over time compared to preventive measures.

The reactive approach seems risky to me, but I wonder if it could be cheaper in the short term? I need to think about that more.

I think I practiced a question similar to this, and I leaned towards the predictive approach because it seems to balance cost and efficiency well.

But wouldn't preventive maintenance be more cost-effective in the long run?

Predictive maintenance is the way to go. Why wait for things to break when you can fix them before they become a problem?

Haha, 'use it like a commodity' and 'run to failure'? Sounds like a recipe for disaster. I'll pass on those options.
