Where maintenance history on reliability-centred maintenance programmes is incomplete, every decision becomes a guess. Reactive work on this area of engineering and maintenance work costs several times what the same job costs when planned. It is designed for mixed groups, so that this aspect of engineering and maintenance work is examined from more than one functional angle. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place reliability-centred maintenance programmes among the areas with the widest performance spread. They leave able to brief senior management on the practice within engineering and maintenance work in terms that support a decision. Every module pairs a short input on the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda with structured practice on the participant's own material. The programme takes participants through reliability-centred maintenance programmes end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. The version of this aspect of engineering and maintenance work described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the engineering and maintenance work discipline broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
