Condition Monitoring Coverage at 99% condition monitoring coverage target: a worked example

What does the result look like when condition monitoring coverage target reaches 99%? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. Use it when a reliability lead is reporting condition monitoring deployment progress against a criticality-based target on the reliability dashboard.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Critical assets with active condition monitoring: 45 assets (unchanged)
  • Total critical assets: 60 assets (unchanged)
  • Condition monitoring coverage target: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 90)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Condition monitoring coverage = monitored critical assets ÷ total critical assets × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 75 % for condition monitoring coverage, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 24 points for coverage gap to target.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 45 count for critical assets with condition monitoring.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 60 count for total critical assets.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where condition monitoring coverage target sits at 90% and the headline result is 75 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 75 %.
  • A figure at this level is achievable when condition monitoring coverage target is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. Coverage counts whether sensing exists, not whether the data is actually reviewed, alarmed correctly, or acted on — full coverage with ignored alerts still lets assets fail.

Results at a glance

  • Condition monitoring coverage: 75 % (headline result)
  • Coverage gap to target: 24 points
  • Critical assets with condition monitoring: 45 count
  • Total critical assets: 60 count
