ASME PHM-1 - Guideline for Manufacturing Prognostics and Health Management (PHM): Determining PHM Inclusion in Factory Operations PHM-1 - 2025

The goal of ASME PHM-1 is to present an approach applicable to almost any manufacturing organization of any size to investigate the implementation and adoption of PHM technologies. More specifically, the intention is to assist manufacturers in making decisions about when and where to integrate monitoring, diagnostic, and prognostic tools and systems in their facilities to ideally optimize maintenance of their manufacturing operations and improve their production planning. These guidelines are designed to aid in answering key questions such as where implementation of PHM can improve productivity and costs, maintain process quality targets, or help solve chronic maintenance problems. This documented process should help to determine challenges the manufacturer is facing and where PHM can help.
