More Companies Outsource CBM

It’s your plant and your responsibility to maximize its performance. During lean times you want to control maintenance costs and during boom times you need to maximize your production uptime.

Effective machine condition based maintenance (CBM) can help you achieve these goals, but how effective is your in-house CBM program? How much does it cost in terms labor, training, inefficiency and limited effectiveness? How much has your program suffered when your CBM champion is reassigned to other work?

Leading industrial companies know that while their CBM programs are running at optimum levels, the benefits are enormous. However, the performance of a CBM program can change quickly when leadership or technical expertise is lost. A recent study has identified that only 40% of in-house CBM programs are stable or thriving, and the remaining struggle or have been abandoned. An increasing number of industrial companies are now outsourcing their CBM programs. It is expected that by 2012, 70% of all industry will outsource their CBM programs.
