Condition Assessments in Predictive Maintenance Systems

Maintenance work in a Preventive Maintenance System is based on rigid cycle time as opposed to real time evidence of need as ascertained from inspections in a Predictive Maintenance System. Some 30% cost savings have been achieved in moving from the traditional Preventive/Cyclical-based system to a Predictive/Condition-based system in engineering installations maintenance.

 

Predictive Maintenance Systems requires objective inspection data, the variability in defect prognosis arising from subjectivity of inspectors needs to be addressed as a pre-requisite to implementation of Predictive Maintenance Systems.   A Dutch standard NEN 2767, believed to be a world-first in Building Condition Assessment, seeks to provide uniformity in condition assessment, through an inspection protocol and reporting system based on defects classification and condition scores. The resultant condition data facilitates maintenance planning and prioritisation and serves as a means of communicating building technical condition between strategic, tactical and operational level decision makers.

The course will:

 

  1. Reinforce knowledge on the following precursors to conducting building inspections/condition assessments:
  • Building structures/systems/materials
  • The pathology of building defects
  • Maintenance, Maintenance Systems and Maintenance Planning fundamentals

 

  1. Impart the knowledge and skills to:
  • Conduct a NEN 2767 underpinned building inspection/condition assessment
  • Develop a condition-based maintenance prioritisation plan

 

  1. Provide a framework for appreciating the role of Condition Assessments in Asset Life Cycle Management and Condition Data Management in support of a Predictive/Condition-Based Maintenance System.

Dr Quah Lee Kiang PhD, MSc (Maintenance Management), BSc Building, FRICS

Dr Quah is the Director of the Real Estate & Construction Centre and the Real Estate & Construction Academy in Singapore. She has extensive regional and international experience in Project and Facilities Management & Maintenance research, advice and academia. Dr Quah led the EU funded project BE4213 Condition Assessment and Maintenance Strategies for Buildings and Building Components, which among other things, sought to develop an objective building condition assessment system. This project formed part of ongoing research over the last 20 years which culminated in Dutch Standard NEN 2767 on Condition Assessment of Buildings, believed to be a ‘world first’.  Dr Quah’s professional and research affiliations include being Coordinator of the International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction (CIB) Working Commission 70 on Facilities Management and Maintenance for a decade and past President of the Chartered Institute of Building Singapore Centre. She was also a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Asia Board, Singapore Board and Asia Pacific Sustainability Board. Dr Quah was conferred an Honorary Fellow by Oxford Brookes University for her work in real estate and construction education and the unusual impact her career has had on this particular academic field in Asia.
