. A suitably trained human brain is still one of the best possible methods for spotting incipient trouble.
There has been considerable over-selling of on-line condition monitoring,however; the Asset Management approach considers the crude but cheap options of operator monitoring or visual inspection quite objectively in comparison to the high technology (and high cost) approaches. Predictiv e/Condition Monitoring
Silo thinking - departmental or regional barriers, preventing collaboration and shared solutions. Short-term ism - especially in outsourced or project work, where success is often measured as on time and on budget, irrespective of subsequent performance and value.
1. Project Engineering wants to minimize capital costs as the only criteria, 2. Maintenance Engineering wants to minimize repair hours as the only criteria,

Conflicting Perform ance Measures - one group can only succeed at the expense of another: even balanced scorecards can reinforce such competing priorities.
3. Production wants to maximize uptime hours as the only criteria, 4. Reliability Engineering wants to av oid f ailures as the only criteria, 5. Accounting wants to maximize project net present v alue as the only criteria, and 6. Shareholders want to increase stockholder wealth as the only criteria.

Fire-fighting - in two respects: the reactive workload is too great to allow time to think, and/or competence in a crisis is recognised and rewarded (even at the expense of avoiding the fires in the first place).
