Most of the reported prognostic techniques use a small number of condition indicators and/or use a thresholding strategies in order to predict the remaining useful life (RUL). In this paper, we propose a reliability-based prognostic methodology that uses condition monitoring (CM) data which can deal with any number of condition indicators, without selecting the most significant ones, as many methods propose. Moreover, it does not depend on any thresholding strategies provided by the maintenance experts to separate normal and abnormal values of condition indicators. The proposed prognostic methodology uses both the age and CM data as inputs to estimate the RUL. The key idea behind this methodology is that, it uses Kaplan–Meier as a time-driven estimation technique, and logical analysis of data as an event-driven diagnostic technique to reflect the effect of the operating conditions on the age of the …
