The control of the setting up of a predictive maintenance programme using a system of indicators

Predictive maintenance is one of the maintenance policies which is revolutionising the industry, due to the increase in security, quality and availability which is on offer to an industrial plant. However, the implantation of a predictive maintenance programme (PMP) is a strategic decision, and to date the analysis and study of questions relative to its setting up, management and supervision have not been carried out sufficiently. This paper proposes a system composed of indicators to control the setting up of PMPs which should facilitate the early detection of anomalies which can appear during setting up, thus avoiding the failure of these programmes. The system developed can be considered a predictive control of the PMP.
