Written by Shire director, Paul Dean CEng, this whitepaper addresses the overall process of periodic condition inspection, distress discovery and planned corrective repair of physical assets whose in-service failure has to be avoided. The technical and business reasons for carrying out systematic inspections are discussed together with various factors influencing inspection programme implementation. Whilst written mainly with production plant and building services in mind, the principles apply to physical assets in all contexts of use. In the paper the terms ‘asset’ and ‘equipment’ are interchangeable. The premise of the whitepaper is that condition inspection underpins the success of PM (Preventive Maintenance).
