Many condition monitoring programmes do not deliver their full potential due to a lack of focus regarding the equipment surveyed or prioritisation of maintenance. A common mistake is being over ambitious when implementing the programme, typically including too many equipment items which may become impractical or have diminishing returns. Adopting a risk based strategy ensures time and resources are focused where most beneficial to plant operation and safety to bring the greatest return on investment.

This presentation will introduce how criticality analysis can be utilized in setting up your condition monitoring programme and henceforth applied dynamically to prioritize maintenance. It will also introduce the concept of risk based compliance and how this can be turned into a primary key performance indicator for any condition monitoring programme.
