Course Overview

Maintenance budgets are cut on welding method selection in good years and paid for in bad ones. The content is relevant to those who own this strand of engineering and maintenance work and to those who are held accountable for its results. This programme builds this part of engineering and maintenance work from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Buying a tool rarely fixes welding method selection; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. Mature organisations treat the engineering and maintenance work discipline as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a maintenance procedure for this area of engineering and maintenance work as they go. They acquire practical criteria for judging when welding method selection is working and when it is only appearing to. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this part of engineering and maintenance work that participants can repeat annually.

Course Modules

01

Welding method selection: failure modes, consequence and criticality

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Isolating welding method selection safely before work begins

  • Record the rationale for each significant choice made about welding method selection.
  • Rehearse the briefing on welding method selection that would follow an incident.
  • Assign a criticality rating to welding method selection that drives work order priority.
  • Test the procedure for welding method selection against a realistic scenario.

Session 2Maintenance indicators for welding method selection that change behaviour

  • Arrange the handover of welding method selection so capability survives staff changes.
  • Establish what evidence demonstrates welding method selection is under control.
  • Draft the minimum viable maintenance procedure for welding method selection.
  • Set maintenance indicators for welding method selection that reward planning rather than heroics.
02

Welding method selection: inspection, testing and acceptance criteria

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The decisions in welding method selection that cannot be delegated

  • Investigate repeat failures on welding method selection to root cause, not to component.
  • Confirm isolation and permit requirements before any work on welding method selection.
  • Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to welding method selection.
  • Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of welding method selection current.

Session 2Testing welding method selection before relying on it

  • Set out the decisions in welding method selection that require sign-off and by whom.
  • Verify six months later that changes to welding method selection have held.
  • Rank the weaknesses in welding method selection by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
  • Choose the maintenance strategy for welding method selection based on failure pattern, not tradition.
03

Welding method selection: choosing the right maintenance strategy

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1How welding method selection actually fails, and how much warning you get

  • Build the internal briefing that explains welding method selection to those affected.
  • Identify single points of dependency in welding method selection and reduce them.
  • Define acceptance criteria for completed work on welding method selection.
  • Check that welding method selection still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.

Session 2Investigating the failure on welding method selection that keeps returning

  • Identify where judgement in welding method selection is legitimate and where it is not.
  • Verify contractor competence and method statements for welding method selection.
  • Close out actions on welding method selection rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
  • Define the trigger that would require welding method selection to be redesigned.
04

Welding method selection: history, documentation and competence

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Planning work on welding method selection so it does not become reactive

  • Review whether welding method selection is aligned with the objectives of the asset base.
  • Anticipate the objections welding method selection will raise and prepare the answers.
  • Compare the cost of welding method selection with the cost of its absence.
  • Plan the sequence in which improvements to welding method selection will be introduced.

Session 2Keeping welding method selection alive after the initial push

  • List the credible failure modes of welding method selection and the consequence of each.
  • Agree the indicators that will show whether welding method selection is improving.
  • Establish who is informed, consulted and accountable in welding method selection.
  • Name a single owner for each element of welding method selection.
