Predictive maintenance is defined as a condition-driven preventive maintenance program that uses such monitoring techniques as vibration monitoring, process parameter modeling, thermography, tribology, and visual inspection to determine the best scheduling for machine repair in industrial plants. Mobley (president, Integrated Systems, Inc.) describes these and other techniques and explains how to incorporate them into a comprehensive plant-wide maintenance program using analytical tools and organizational strategies. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR Booknews A comprehensive introduction to a system of monitoring critical industrial equipment by such techniques as noise analysis and thermal efficiency to predict machine failure as the basis for scheduling maintenance. Suggests how to use microcomputers to implement the methods. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
