Presentation: Is your vibration monitoring program improving equipment reliability?
The intended goal of most vibration monitoring programs is to improve equipment reliability. The reality is most programs function to detect, analyze, and effectively manage failure events. Although, proactively managing failure is critical to any site’s success, driving failure elimination will improve overall reliability. This presentation will show how to enhance your vibration predictive maintenance program to drive true reliability gains.
