Course Overview

Maintenance budgets are cut on spare part criticality classification in good years and paid for in bad ones. Most organisations already have a policy on criticality classification; far fewer can show it working. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a maintenance procedure for this aspect of engineering and maintenance work as they go. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about spare part criticality classification under scrutiny. The programme converts the practice within engineering and maintenance work from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. The programme suits teams tackling criticality classification together as readily as individuals attending alone. Comparative studies of spare part criticality classification across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make criticality classification sustainable.

  • Build the competence framework that supports criticality classification.
  • Anticipate the objections spare part criticality classification will raise and prepare the answers.
  • Rank the weaknesses in criticality classification by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
