Defining requirements for advanced PHM technologies for optimal reliability centered maintenance

Condition Based Maintenance Plus (CBM+) can be described as optimal condition based maintenance (CBM) procedures defined by applying the principles and process of Reliability Centered Maintenance. This approach offers a rigorous and disciplined method, based on the system FMECA, to determine the least cost maintenance policy and procedures that are consistent with acceptable levels of safety and readiness, applying available prognosis and health management tools.
