Question 1

Which EAM strategy allows an organization to intentionally allow non-critical assets to operate until they fail before performing repairs?

Accepted Answer

Run-to-Failure (RTF) Maintenance

Answer

Run-to-failure deliberately allows low-criticality assets to operate without preventive intervention, applying repair resources only after failure occurs.

Question 2

What is the main benefit of integrating EAM with a SCADA system in an industrial facility?

Accepted Answer

Enabling real-time equipment condition data to flow into EAM for monitoring and alert generation

Answer

SCADA-EAM integration feeds live operational data (temperature, pressure, vibration) directly into the EAM system, enabling automated condition alerts and data-driven maintenance decisions.

Question 3

When performing an EAM data migration from a legacy CMMS, which step is most critical to ensure ongoing data quality?

Accepted Answer

Cleansing, deduplicating, and standardizing asset records before import

Answer

Data cleansing before migration removes duplicates, corrects errors, and standardizes formats, ensuring the new EAM system starts with high-quality, reliable data.

Question 4

A facilities manager wants to evaluate whether to repair or replace an aging HVAC unit. Which EAM analysis best supports this decision?

Accepted Answer

Repair vs. Replace (R/R) analysis

Answer

Repair vs. Replace analysis compares the ongoing cost of maintaining an aging asset against the cost and benefits of replacing it with a newer, more efficient unit.

Question 5

Which EAM feature enables the automatic generation of a work order when a sensor reading exceeds a predefined threshold?

Accepted Answer

Condition-based alarm-triggered work order creation

Answer

Condition-based monitoring integrated with EAM can automatically generate work orders when sensor values breach set thresholds, enabling rapid response to developing issues.
