Fault reporting is a maintenance concept that increases operational availability and that reduces operating cost by three mechanisms: Reduce labor-intensive diagnostic evaluation; Eliminate diagnostic testing down-time; Provide notification to management for degraded operation; That is a prerequisite for condition-based maintenance.
