AB  - The introduction of ever more complicated machinery and associated
operating procedures is placing an increasing strain on the maintenance
function. The options available to a company engaged in the manufacture
of a range of sheet metal products, for which a flexible manufacturing
facility has been installed, are examined. The introduction of this
system has caused the company to examine its maintenance procedures,
which are based on a traditional breakdown and repair approach, and has
prompted an investigation into the possibility of implementing a
condition based approach to maintenance. This investigation is presented
here, together with a review of currently available options, and an
outline of the planned move towards condition based maintenance.
