Machine performance monitoring and proactive maintenance in computer-integrated manufacturing: review and perspective

Abstract A major problem confronting American manufacturers today is how lo economically achieve high quality in the goods which they manufacture. Equipment reliability and maintenance drastically affect the three key elements of competitiveness: quality, cost and product lead time. Well-maintained machines hold tolerances better, help reduce scrap and rework, and raise consistency and quality of the part. They increase uptime and yields of good parts, thereby cutting total production costs, and also can shorten lead limes by reducing downtime and the need for retooling. The recent rush to embrace computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) has further increased the use of relatively unknown and untested technology. In a computer-integrated manufacturing system, a fault can cause machine and production downtime and create serious productivity losses. Today, many factories are still performing maintenance on equipment in a reactive, or breakdown, mode, since traditional process monitoring systems can detect ma...
