This paper presents a case study about a condition monitoring project for asset management implementing an advanced decision process for maintenance and asset replacement in the Qatar electricity distribution network. It describes the principles used to produce an assessment of the health of the entire fleet of assets, together with the concepts retained to prioritize the interventions on the distribution network equipment. The paper goes through the actual steps taken for the preparation and execution mode of the overall project. It covers the following project phases: definition of the problem & business objectives, process definition and preparation tasks, presentation of solutions and execution phase. The project being still in the implementation phase, the conclusions are preliminary but already demonstrate concrete and tangible benefits.
