A P-F Curve is used in the Maintenance and Reliability world to combine two concepts: asset degraded condition (still functioning) and failure (loss of function). Its main objective is to guide an operator as to when a repair is due based on the health status of the asset.
In this presentation, the two authors collaborate and use real life data from a manufacturing plant to build a P-F curve. The first part of the presentation covers the construction of the curve using Reliability Engineering principles. The second part applies the learnings from the P-F curve directly into the Asset Management program.
