Compared with time based maintenance (TBM), Condition based maintenance (CBM) can improved the availability of the devices and reduced the examining maintenance cost. However, CBM possibly arouse an unexpected interference on production process due to an unplanned maintenance activity in advance so that the stable-state operation of the system was influenced.

The scope of the paper is to investigate when the cut condition is sufficient to guarantee the feasibility for such problem.
