Summary

Typically, the frequency of on-condition, or condition based, maintenance tasks is based on some anecdotal or historic precedent or maybe just on the smallest frequency we can perform the work (e.g., weekly or monthly). But with a little bit of information and a few estimates, you can calculate the optimum inspection frequency. This presentation will walk through all the steps for this alternative approach.

Learning Takeaways:

– What is an On-Condition task and why it is important.

– How to construct a P-F curve from data you may already have.

– How to estimate the inspection frequency for condition-based tasks.
