In my opinion....
If organizations are doing both and understand the benefits, then I agree it is semantics. But if an organization does not understand the concepts (no matter what they call them), then the difference and the benefits can huge.
The cost of an IR picture of a fuse panel Vs. changing the fuses every 2 years VS replacing the panel because it blew up is significant. Cost and downtime in each case can be very different.
The data gained from predictive maintenance and from experience leads to preventive maintenance. Something has to give us data and a sense of confidence that an engine needs an oil change very 5,000 miles.
Predictive maintenance data is an input into preventive maintenance programs.
Great discussion.
Thank you,
Dirk
