Course Overview
Maintenance budgets are cut on major turnaround planning in good years and paid for in bad ones. The programme is built to be used, and every section of the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda it covers ends in something applicable. Moving this area of engineering and maintenance work from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on major turnaround planning and revise it on evidence. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on this part of engineering and maintenance work are used deliberately. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make this area of engineering and maintenance work hard in practice. Where major turnaround planning is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this part of engineering and maintenance work sustainable.
