All the following statement about predictive maintenance are correct except one. Which one? In predictive maintenance, it is key to define a clear monitoring system O Ultrasonic testing and liquid penetrant dye testing can be used to detect whether the equipment/parts of the equipment has/have cracks. O Predictive maintenance can contribute to reduce production downtime. O In predictive maintenance, components are inspected regularly and only components which aren't in a good working order are restored. Predictive maintenance allows to schedule for repair any piece of equipment that is trending towards failure.
