Advantages of Condition-based maintenance CBM is performed while the asset is working, which lessens the chances of disruption to normal operations Reduces the cost of asset failures Improves equipment reliability Minimizes unscheduled downtime due to catastrophic failure Minimizes time spent on maintenance Minimizes overtime costs by scheduling the activities Minimizes requirement for emergency spare parts Optimizes maintenance intervals (more optimal than manufacturer recommendations) Improves worker safety Reduces the chances of collateral damage to the system
