MAintenance PQ3

What is the primary goal of Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM)?

• To follow a fixed maintenance schedule

• To reduce maintenance activities altogether

• To monitor equipment condition and perform maintenance when needed

• To replace preventive maintenance completely

Which of the following is NOT a key characteristic of CBM?

• Data-driven decision-making

• Proactive failure detection

• Scheduled maintenance at fixed intervals

• Optimized maintenance activities

Which technique is commonly used in CBM to detect misalignment and bearing wear?

• Oil analysis

• Thermal imaging

• Vibration analysis

• Acoustic emission monitoring

How does oil analysis contribute to CBM?

• By identifying changes in viscosity and detecting metal particles

• By measuring temperature fluctuations in engines

• By detecting corrosion on ship hulls

• By monitoring fuel consumption in real-time

Which of the following is a major advantage of CBM?

• Increased reliance on scheduled maintenance

• Higher maintenance costs due to continuous monitoring

• Reduced downtime and improved safety

• Elimination of the need for maintenance personnel

What is the role of remote monitoring in CBM?

• To replace all manual inspections on ships

• To collect real-time data on equipment performance

• To eliminate the need for predictive modeling

• To prevent all equipment failures from occurring

How can CBM be integrated with scheduled maintenance?

• By using scheduled inspections to gather baseline data for CBM

• By eliminating scheduled maintenance altogether

• By scheduling maintenance based only on manufacturer recommendations

• By conducting repairs only after equipment breakdowns

Which of the following is a challenge associated with CBM?

• Decreased equipment reliability

• The high cost of implementation and data analysis

• The complete elimination of maintenance activities

• Reduced need for skilled personnel

Which future trend in CBM involves creating a virtual model of ship systems?

• Internet of Things (IoT)

• Digital Twin Technology

• Acoustic Emission Monitoring

• Scheduled Maintenance Optimization

Why is predictive modeling important in CBM?

• It helps determine potential failures before they occur

• It eliminates the need for any maintenance

• It increases maintenance costs by adding unnecessary tasks

• It relies solely on human intuition without data analysis
