Asset Protection. More than 60 percent of those interviewed included asset protection as the reason for implementation. Although asset management and protection is partially a maintenance issue its inclusion as justification for a predictive maintenance program is a radical change from just a few years ago. ISO Certification. Almost 36 percent included ISO certification as a reason for implementing predictive maintenance. The primary focus of ISO 9000 is product quality. As a result the certification process includes criteria that seek to ensure equipment reliability and consistent production of first-quality products. Predictive maintenance helps maintain consistent quality performance levels of critical plant production systems. Although ISO certification does not include specific requirements for predictive maintenance its inclusion in the plant program will greatly improve the probability of certification and will ensure long-term compliance with ISO program requirements. Management Directive. Almost one-third percent of respondents stated that the primary reason for implementation was top management directives. More senior-level managers have recognized the absolute need for a tool to improve the overall reliability of critical plant systems. Many recognize the ability of predictive maintenance technologies as this critical management tool. Lower Insurance Rates. Insurance considerations were cited by 25 percent of those interviewed. Most plants have insurance policies that protect them against interruptions in production. These policies are primarily intended to protect the plant against losses caused by fire flood breakdowns or other prolonged interruptions in the plant s ability to operate. Over the past 10 years insurance companies have begun to recognize the ability of predictive .
