         BENEFITS OF PREDICTIVE


         MAINTENANCE








         3.1    Increased Equipment Uptime and Reliability



         By  spotting  and  fixing  possible  equipment  issues  before  they
         happen, predictive maintenance reduces unplanned downtime.

         Organizations may increase uptime and boost dependability by
         proactively servicing equipment, depending on its state.




         3.2     Cost Reduction and Optimal Resource

                 Allocation



         By eliminating unneeded maintenance activities and optimizing
         resource  allocation,  predictive  maintenance  helps  lower

         maintenance  costs.  Since  maintenance  chores  are  planned
         based  on  the  actual  state  of  the  equipment,  there  is  less  of  a

         need  for  regular  inspections  and  only  when  it  is  required  to
         replace components.




         3.3     Increased Safety and Preventing

                 Catastrophic Failures



         Predictive  maintenance  increases  safety  by  continually
         monitoring equipment conditions by identifying possible risks or

         failure  modes.  Preventative  maintenance  measures  avert
         catastrophic  failures,  which  can  cause  mishaps,  injuries,  or

         property damage.
