    Using a report generation software is a very valuable tool in the PdM process. A discussion of several available programs is covered in this lesson as well, as using Excel as a reporting tool.  Cost benefit analysis is the driving force behind a solid PdM program.  However finding the time to create a CBA for every anomaly is daunting.  A quick and easy method is presented during this lesson that aids you in developing a solid believable CBA program.
