Course Overview
Spares strategy for transformer inspection programmes is an availability decision disguised as a cost decision. Reactive work on the engineering and maintenance work discipline costs several times what the same job costs when planned. It treats the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from transformer inspection programmes, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in this aspect of engineering and maintenance work that were visible long before the incident. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about this part of engineering and maintenance work. What blocks progress on transformer inspection programmes is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. The content is relevant to those who own the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda and to those who are held accountable for its results. The final module sets out how progress on the engineering and maintenance work discipline will be evidenced six months later.
