Much of the content, case histories, and figures for this paper were supplied by the author's colleagues at the Vibration Institute and for that I am appreciative. The paper also encompasses the authors 40 years of experience in vibration analysis, condition monitoring, and personal experience in what makes programs successful or fail. This paper is intended as an overview for managers and supervisors that would like to know more about the benefits, cost, and commitments required for starting a predictive maintenance program; how to determine if such a program will benefit their company; and if so, how to get started.
