1. A method of monitoring operating equipment comprising:
- selecting a piece of equipment to be monitored;
selecting a plurality of operating parameters of the piece of equipment to monitor;
obtaining a present value for each of the plurality of operating parameters;
defining an acceptable range for each of the plurality of operating parameters;
calculating a deviation percentage for each of the plurality of operating parameters based on the present value and the acceptable range for each of the plurality of operating parameters;
calculating a composite index for the piece of equipment using a summation of squares of each deviation percentage, wherein the summation is divided by a square root of a cardinality of the plurality of operating parameters to obtain the composite index;
andpresenting the composite index.

6. A method of monitoring operating equipment comprising:
-
(a) selecting a piece of equipment to be monitored; (b) selecting a plurality of operating parameters of the piece of equipment to monitor; (c) obtaining a present value for each of the plurality of operating parameters; (d) defining an acceptable range for each of the plurality of operating parameters; (e) calculating a deviation percentage for each of the plurality of operating parameters based on the present value and the acceptable range for each of the plurality of operating parameters; (f) calculating a composite index for the piece of equipment using a summation of squares of each deviation percentage, wherein the summation is divided by a square root of a cardinality of operating parameters to obtain the composite index; (g) repeating steps (c), (d), (e), and (f) a plurality of times to obtain a set of composite indices; (h) calculating a rate of change of the composite index using the set of composite indices; and (i) presenting the rate of change of the composite index. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for monitoring operating equipment, the instructions causing a processor to:
-
select a piece of equipment to be monitored;
select a plurality of operating parameters of the piece of equipment to monitor;
obtain a present value for each of the plurality of operating parameters;
define an acceptable range for each of the plurality of operating parameters;calculate a deviation percentage for each of the plurality of operating parameters based on the present value and the acceptable range for each of the plurality of operating parameters; calculate a composite index for the piece of equipment using a summation of squares of each deviation percentage, wherein the summation is divided by a square root of a cardinality of the plurality of operating parameters to obtain the composite index; and present the composite index. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
