Course Overview
Maintenance budgets are cut on programmable logic controller maintenance in good years and paid for in bad ones. The programme takes participants through controller maintenance end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. Improvement in this area of engineering and maintenance work stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. Across sectors, teams that rehearse programmable logic controller maintenance outperform teams that only plan it. They acquire practical criteria for judging when the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda is working and when it is only appearing to. The programme works equally well for those formalising controller maintenance for the first time and those improving an existing approach. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of programmable logic controller maintenance and prepares them for it. The programme ends where implementation begins, with controller maintenance broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
Expected Learning Outcomes

Course Modules
Programmable logic controller maintenance: history, documentation and competence
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Investigating the failure on programmable logic controller maintenance that keeps returning
- Agree the smallest change to programmable logic controller maintenance that would be visibly useful.
- Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for controller maintenance.
- Draft the minimum viable maintenance procedure for programmable logic controller maintenance.
- Set out how exceptions to controller maintenance are requested and approved.
Session 2Escalation and decision rights in controller maintenance
- Name a single owner for each element of programmable logic controller maintenance.
- Benchmark the organisation's controller maintenance against comparable operations.
- Investigate repeat failures on programmable logic controller maintenance to root cause, not to component.
- Assign a criticality rating to controller maintenance that drives work order priority.
Controller maintenance: failure modes, consequence and criticality
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Planning work on controller maintenance so it does not become reactive
- Collect evidence on the present handling of programmable logic controller maintenance before proposing changes.
- Reduce the variation in how controller maintenance is carried out between teams.
- Identify where judgement in programmable logic controller maintenance is legitimate and where it is not.
- Set maintenance indicators for controller maintenance that reward planning rather than heroics.
Session 2What condition data on controller maintenance is telling you early
- Agree the indicators that will show whether programmable logic controller maintenance is improving.
- Build the competence framework that supports controller maintenance.
- Identify the data already collected that bears on programmable logic controller maintenance.
- Map the handovers in controller maintenance between functions and secure them.
Controller maintenance: safe isolation and permit control
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Getting other functions to support controller maintenance
- Estimate the resource programmable logic controller maintenance requires to run as designed.
- List the credible failure modes of controller maintenance and the consequence of each.
- Confirm that reporting on programmable logic controller maintenance reaches the people who can act.
- Verify six months later that changes to controller maintenance have held.
Session 2Who answers for programmable logic controller maintenance, and to whom
- Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to programmable logic controller maintenance.
- Verify contractor competence and method statements for controller maintenance.
- Define acceptance criteria for completed work on programmable logic controller maintenance.

Controller maintenance: inspection, testing and acceptance criteria
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1How controller maintenance actually fails, and how much warning you get
- Prepare the summary of programmable logic controller maintenance that senior management will read.
- Close out actions on controller maintenance rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
- Rank the weaknesses in programmable logic controller maintenance by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
- Set out the decisions in controller maintenance that require sign-off and by whom.
Session 2Choosing a maintenance strategy for controller maintenance on evidence
- Define acceptance criteria for programmable logic controller maintenance in advance.
- Review whether controller maintenance is aligned with the objectives of the asset base.
- Establish what evidence demonstrates programmable logic controller maintenance is under control.
- Confirm isolation and permit requirements before any work on controller maintenance.
