Maintenance budgets are cut on defective weld repair in good years and paid for in bad ones. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this strand of engineering and maintenance work, not for observers of it. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in this part of engineering and maintenance work rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in defective weld repair before they become incidents. The difficulty is not agreeing that the practice within engineering and maintenance work matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Participants leave with a method for the engineering and maintenance work discipline, not a set of opinions about it. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better defective weld repair is rarely technical. The final module sets out how progress on this area of engineering and maintenance work will be evidenced six months later.
