Asset Management Asset Maintenance and Reliability 2

Question 1

What is predictive maintenance primarily based on?

Accepted Answer

Data analysis and condition monitoring to predict impending failures

Answer

Predictive maintenance uses data analysis, sensors, and condition monitoring technologies such as vibration analysis and oil sampling to predict when equipment is likely to fail before it does.

Question 2

Which reliability metric represents the probability that an asset will perform its required function for a specified period under stated conditions?

Accepted Answer

Reliability

Answer

Reliability is defined as the probability that an item will perform its required function for a given time period under specified operating conditions without failure.

Question 3

What is a 'work order' in computerized maintenance management?

Accepted Answer

A formal document authorizing and directing specific maintenance work to be performed

Answer

A work order is a formal document that authorizes, schedules, assigns, and provides instructions for specific maintenance tasks to be performed on an asset.

Question 4

Which maintenance approach uses vibration analysis, oil analysis, and infrared thermography as primary diagnostic tools?

Accepted Answer

Predictive maintenance

Answer

Predictive maintenance employs condition monitoring technologies like vibration analysis, oil sampling, and thermography to detect early signs of failure before they occur.

Question 5

What does 'asset availability' measure in maintenance performance?

Accepted Answer

The percentage of time an asset is in working condition and ready for use

Answer

Asset availability is the percentage of total time that an asset is in an operational, non-failed state and ready for its intended use when needed.
