Course Overview
Maintenance budgets are cut on standby generator maintenance in good years and paid for in bad ones. Spares strategy for this part of engineering and maintenance work is an availability decision disguised as a cost decision. The programme is built to be used, and every section of this aspect of engineering and maintenance work it covers ends in something applicable. What blocks progress on standby generator maintenance is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda and prepares them for it. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on the engineering and maintenance work discipline and revise it on evidence. Comparative studies of standby generator maintenance across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this strand of engineering and maintenance work, not for observers of it. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the engineering and maintenance work discipline survives a hostile question.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Measure maintenance performance on standby generator maintenance with indicators that drive behaviour.
Establish condition monitoring on standby generator maintenance that gives useful warning time.
Establish what evidence would demonstrate that standby generator maintenance is under control.
Build the inspection and test plan covering standby generator maintenance.
Handle the trade-offs in standby generator maintenance between speed, cost and assurance explicitly rather than implicitly.
Agree the first three actions on standby generator maintenance that will be taken on returning to work.
Who Should Attend
Mechanical, electrical and instrumentation technicians working on standby generator maintenance.
Inspection and integrity engineers assessing standby generator maintenance.
Managers with direct responsibility for standby generator maintenance within the asset base.
Spares and stores controllers supporting standby generator maintenance.
Plant and facility managers accountable for availability of standby generator maintenance.
Anyone whose accountability for standby generator maintenance exceeds their current formal training in it.
Course Modules
Standby generator maintenance: turnarounds, contractors and scope control
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Moving standby generator maintenance from approval to execution
- Rank the weaknesses in standby generator maintenance by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.

Standby generator maintenance: history, documentation and competence
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1How standby generator maintenance actually fails, and how much warning you get
- Record who is competent to work on standby generator maintenance and when requalification is due.
- Compare the cost of standby generator maintenance with the cost of its absence.
- Check that standby generator maintenance still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
- Agree what will be standardised in standby generator maintenance and what will not.
Session 2Keeping drawings for standby generator maintenance current after modification
- Set maintenance indicators for standby generator maintenance that reward planning rather than heroics.
- Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for standby generator maintenance.
- Confirm lubrication, alignment and balance standards applied to standby generator maintenance.

Standby generator maintenance: condition monitoring and warning time
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Comparing standby generator maintenance with recognised practice
- Update drawings and documentation after every modification to standby generator maintenance.
- Choose the maintenance strategy for standby generator maintenance based on failure pattern, not tradition.
- Estimate the true cost of one hour of unplanned downtime on standby generator maintenance.
- Close out actions on standby generator maintenance rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
Session 2Repair or replace: making the case on standby generator maintenance
- Map the handovers in standby generator maintenance between functions and secure them.
- Investigate repeat failures on standby generator maintenance to root cause, not to component.
- List the credible failure modes of standby generator maintenance and the consequence of each.
