Maintenance budgets are cut on magnetic particle inspection in good years and paid for in bad ones. Most organisations already have a policy on the practice within engineering and maintenance work; far fewer can show it working. Participants apply the engineering and maintenance work capability to their own asset base throughout, so the output is directly usable. The programme converts magnetic particle inspection from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to the engineering and maintenance work discipline in an order their organisation can absorb. The most reliable predictor of sound this aspect of engineering and maintenance work is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. It is written for people who have to make magnetic particle inspection work with the resources they already have. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this area of engineering and maintenance work broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
