Readiness check

Is your maintenance predicting failures or chasing them?

Predictive maintenance pays when it watches the critical equipment's own condition and catches a failure developing in time to plan the fix. Collecting readings nobody trends, or monitoring everything equally, wastes the effort. Answer for how your maintenance actually runs. The score stays on your device; enter an email only if you want the predictive maintenance checklist sent over.

1. Is your maintenance mostly planned (preventive or predictive), not reactive run-to-failure?Yes, planned with predictive on the critical gearPreventive schedules, no predictiveMostly we fix it when it breaks

2. Have you ranked equipment by criticality so you target the program?Yes, a criticality ranking drives the strategyWe have a rough senseWe treat everything the same

3. Do you use condition-monitoring techniques (vibration, infrared, oil, ultrasonic) on the critical assets?Yes, the right technique per assetOne technique, occasionallyNo condition monitoring

4. Do you baseline healthy equipment and act on the trend, not a single reading?Yes, baselined and trendedWe take readings but do not trendNo baselines

5. Is there a skilled analyst to read the data (vibration, IR) correctly?Yes, trained and certified analystsSomeone interprets it looselyNo one really reads it

6. Do findings turn into planned work orders with lead time to get parts and schedule downtime?Yes, findings become planned work ordersSometimes, often too lateFindings sit, then it fails

7. Is there a CMMS holding the asset history, schedule, and condition trends?Yes, a CMMS as the system of recordSpreadsheets and memoryNo real records

8. Did you start with the critical assets and one technique rather than monitoring everything?Yes, critical-first, then scaledWe tried to do it allNo focus
