Course Overview
Maintenance budgets are cut on weld quality acceptance criteria in good years and paid for in bad ones. Across sectors, teams that rehearse acceptance criteria outperform teams that only plan it. Plans for the practice within engineering and maintenance work often fail at the handover point between functions. The level assumes working familiarity with the asset base but no prior formal training in weld quality acceptance criteria. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting this strand of engineering and maintenance work, ready to be adapted internally. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of acceptance criteria is examined, not just described. It establishes a shared vocabulary for weld quality acceptance criteria so that teams can disagree productively about it. The programme closes with an action plan for acceptance criteria that each participant writes for their own organisation.
