This paper discusses technical process management philosophy, function and scope. The technical process is shown divided into four generalized constituent parts namely, i) actuators, ii) process components, (iii) instrumentation and (iv) controllers. An analytical classification of the vibration analysis based condition monitoring techniques is developed that encompasses all the constituent parts of the technical processes. The role and application of the vibration analysis techniques in the overall management of technical process is in relation to the contemporary condition monitoring techniques is delineated.
