Course Overview

Maintenance budgets are cut on lubricating oil analysis in good years and paid for in bad ones. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on the engineering and maintenance work discipline and revise it on evidence. Practitioner evidence points the same way: the engineering and maintenance work capability improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from lubricating oil analysis, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. The content is relevant to those who own this part of engineering and maintenance work and to those who are held accountable for its results. It concentrates on the parts of the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. What blocks progress on lubricating oil analysis is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this part of engineering and maintenance work that would make a visible difference.

Course Modules

01

Lubricating oil analysis: safe isolation and permit control

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Isolating lubricating oil analysis safely before work begins

  • Identify single points of dependency in lubricating oil analysis and reduce them.
  • Identify where judgement in lubricating oil analysis is legitimate and where it is not.
  • Agree the smallest change to lubricating oil analysis that would be visibly useful.
  • Establish what evidence demonstrates lubricating oil analysis is under control.

Session 2How lubricating oil analysis actually fails, and how much warning you get

  • Confirm isolation and permit requirements before any work on lubricating oil analysis.
  • Choose the maintenance strategy for lubricating oil analysis based on failure pattern, not tradition.
  • Agree the indicators that will show whether lubricating oil analysis is improving.
  • Reduce the variation in how lubricating oil analysis is carried out between teams.
02

Lubricating oil analysis: choosing the right maintenance strategy

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Investigating the failure on lubricating oil analysis that keeps returning

  • Investigate repeat failures on lubricating oil analysis to root cause, not to component.
  • Define the trigger that would require lubricating oil analysis to be redesigned.
  • Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of lubricating oil analysis current.
  • Prepare the response for the most likely failure in lubricating oil analysis.

Session 2Where lubricating oil analysis typically breaks, and why

  • Anticipate the objections lubricating oil analysis will raise and prepare the answers.
  • Assign a criticality rating to lubricating oil analysis that drives work order priority.
  • Set out the decisions in lubricating oil analysis that require sign-off and by whom.
  • Estimate the resource lubricating oil analysis requires to run as designed.
03

Lubricating oil analysis: inspection, testing and acceptance criteria

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Choosing a maintenance strategy for lubricating oil analysis on evidence

  • Remove steps in lubricating oil analysis that add effort without adding assurance.
  • Set out how exceptions to lubricating oil analysis are requested and approved.
  • Establish the boundary of lubricating oil analysis and record what sits outside it.
  • Define acceptance criteria for completed work on lubricating oil analysis.

Session 2Who answers for lubricating oil analysis, and to whom

  • Verify six months later that changes to lubricating oil analysis have held.
  • Define acceptance criteria for lubricating oil analysis in advance.
  • Review whether lubricating oil analysis is aligned with the objectives of the asset base.
  • Set maintenance indicators for lubricating oil analysis that reward planning rather than heroics.
04

Lubricating oil analysis: failure modes, consequence and criticality

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Reviewing lubricating oil analysis when nothing has gone wrong

  • Rehearse the briefing on lubricating oil analysis that would follow an incident.
  • Confirm that reporting on lubricating oil analysis reaches the people who can act.
  • Name a single owner for each element of lubricating oil analysis.
  • Verify contractor competence and method statements for lubricating oil analysis.

Session 2Planning work on lubricating oil analysis so it does not become reactive

  • Benchmark the organisation's lubricating oil analysis against comparable operations.
  • Distinguish symptoms from causes when lubricating oil analysis underperforms.
  • List the credible failure modes of lubricating oil analysis and the consequence of each.
  • Record the rationale for each significant choice made about lubricating oil analysis.
