Novel tracked orders (i.e., tracked orders that are not present in "healthy" machinery) are useful for locating bearing anomalies. Accordingly, a method for locating bearing anomalies in machinery is provided that includes receiving vibration measurements acquired from the machinery, analyzing the vibration measurements to identify novel tracked orders indicative of bearing anomalies, and ascertaining the location of a bearing anomaly by relating a novel tracked order thus-identified to one or more further tracked orders. Thus, the novel tracked order does not merely indicate the occurrence of a bearing anomaly, but, in combination with the one or more further tracked orders, allows the bearing anomaly to be traced to a particular position.
