This study is a theoretical analysis about the effectiveness of maintenance cost reduction which can be attained by deploying maintenance analysis according to CBM(Condition Based Maintenance) as it is gradually proved to be efficient in TBM(Time Based Maintenance). The benefits of applying CBM are manifold, e.g., Maintenance Cost Reduction, ability to analyze the cause of failure, enhanced availability of equipment, reduction in planned maintenance, reduced personnel for maintenance checking and reduction in additional cost caused by Breakdown. In this study, we focus on the analysis of Maintenance Cost since it takes the major part in cost reduction activity. Current maintenance practices of the Korean weapon system have been analyzed. And a case study has been performed to analyze the impact of maintenance cost reduction when CBM was deployed and customized to fit the Korean weapon system environment. This paper also analyzes the connected effect of CBM with Performance Based Logistics (PBL) and also with Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) which is planned to be adopted by the Korean Military Force.
