This review investigates the impact of maintenance methods on machine reliability, focusing on their relationship with overall performance, durability, and availability. It emphasizes the importance of proactive maintenance, such as preventive maintenance, to identify and treat potential issues before they become significant failures. The review also examines the effectiveness of various maintenance procedures in enhancing machine reliability, examining the cost-benefit ratio of maintenance programs and the potential savings gained through improved reliability. The review highlights the role of maintenance methods in limiting risks and enhancing performance, emphasizing the importance of proper maintenance practices in ensuring smooth operations and reducing downtime.

The agricultural industry is crucial to the development of the national economy. Inadequate agricultural equipment maintenance could result to a huge economic impact, especially during the harvest period. Thus, this study highlighted on the importance of condition monitoring of agricultural machinery/equipment for enhanced agricultural productions. The study established that adequate condition monitoring of agricultural machineries provides reliability data that will help in the implementation of the integrity of maintenance strategies. Additionally, adequate health monitoring of the advanced machineries will help in improving the efficiency of the machines as well as improving the overall agricultural productivity. This study provides great insight to farmers on the way to monitor and maintain the health of their agricultural machineries.

Condition monitoring is an essential technique which is usually deployed to monitor the health parameters and conditions of a boiler plant in such a way that variations or significant changes can like failure can be identified and proffer adequate solutions to it. It is an important aspect of condition-based maintenance which is used in maintaining an equipment according to its conditions. Thus, this study focused on the fundamental principles of condition monitoring which involve the identification and selection of a physical measurement that will show the deterioration stage and the importance of taking the readings at intervals. More so, the study established that monitoring and measurement should focus more at critical components that have high frequency of failure. Thus, condition-based maintenance of boilers will help in improving the ,availability of the boiler.
