Course Overview

Maintenance budgets are cut on operator autonomous maintenance in good years and paid for in bad ones. The version of this area of engineering and maintenance work described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from this strand of engineering and maintenance work, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what operator autonomous maintenance has actually achieved. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on this area of engineering and maintenance work are used deliberately. The course gives participants a defensible structure for the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda and the judgement to adapt it. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place operator autonomous maintenance among the areas with the widest performance spread. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the practice within engineering and maintenance work sustainable.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

04

Test the organisation's response to operator autonomous maintenance under conditions that are less than ideal.

05

Determine the failure modes of operator autonomous maintenance and the consequence of each.

06

Select the maintenance strategy for operator autonomous maintenance — run to failure, preventive, or condition-based — on evidence.

07

Set a realistic target state for operator autonomous maintenance and a defensible route to it.

Course Modules

01

Operator autonomous maintenance: failure modes, consequence and criticality

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The hard cases in operator autonomous maintenance and how to reason about them

  • Agree the indicators that will show whether operator autonomous maintenance is improving.
  • Set the review interval for operator autonomous maintenance and who attends.
  • Define the trigger that would require operator autonomous maintenance to be redesigned.
  • Verify six months later that changes to operator autonomous maintenance have held.

Session 2Isolating operator autonomous maintenance safely before work begins

  • Establish the boundary of operator autonomous maintenance and record what sits outside it.
  • Rank the weaknesses in operator autonomous maintenance by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
  • Name a single owner for each element of operator autonomous maintenance.
  • Confirm that contractual obligations around operator autonomous maintenance are understood.
02

Operator autonomous maintenance: history, documentation and competence

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Where operator autonomous maintenance typically breaks, and why

  • Establish what evidence demonstrates operator autonomous maintenance is under control.
  • Assign a criticality rating to operator autonomous maintenance that drives work order priority.
  • Prepare the summary of operator autonomous maintenance that senior management will read.
  • Set maintenance indicators for operator autonomous maintenance that reward planning rather than heroics.

Session 2Planning work on operator autonomous maintenance so it does not become reactive

  • Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of operator autonomous maintenance current.
  • Identify single points of dependency in operator autonomous maintenance and reduce them.
  • Investigate repeat failures on operator autonomous maintenance to root cause, not to component.
  • Set escalation thresholds for operator autonomous maintenance that work out of hours.
03

Operator autonomous maintenance: inspection, testing and acceptance criteria

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Choosing a maintenance strategy for operator autonomous maintenance on evidence

  • Define acceptance criteria for completed work on operator autonomous maintenance.
  • Anticipate the objections operator autonomous maintenance will raise and prepare the answers.
  • Establish who is informed, consulted and accountable in operator autonomous maintenance.
  • Rehearse the briefing on operator autonomous maintenance that would follow an incident.

Session 2Investigating the failure on operator autonomous maintenance that keeps returning

  • Confirm isolation and permit requirements before any work on operator autonomous maintenance.
  • Draft the minimum viable maintenance procedure for operator autonomous maintenance.
  • List the credible failure modes of operator autonomous maintenance and the consequence of each.
  • Verify contractor competence and method statements for operator autonomous maintenance.
04

Operator autonomous maintenance: safe isolation and permit control

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Comparing operator autonomous maintenance with recognised practice

  • Build the competence framework that supports operator autonomous maintenance.
  • Confirm that reporting on operator autonomous maintenance reaches the people who can act.
  • Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for operator autonomous maintenance.
  • Set out the decisions in operator autonomous maintenance that require sign-off and by whom.

Session 2How operator autonomous maintenance actually fails, and how much warning you get

  • Choose the maintenance strategy for operator autonomous maintenance based on failure pattern, not tradition.
  • Prepare the response for the most likely failure in operator autonomous maintenance.
  • Close out actions on operator autonomous maintenance rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
  • Confirm that those complying with operator autonomous maintenance understand why it exists.
