Course Overview

Maintenance budgets are cut on electrical instrument calibration in good years and paid for in bad ones. Equipment involved in this strand of engineering and maintenance work rarely fails without warning; the warning is usually in data nobody reviewed. Applied research in engineering and maintenance work consistently shows that early structure around the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda reduces downstream rework. Participants who influence electrical instrument calibration without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. A common pattern is strong design of the engineering and maintenance work discipline paired with weak follow-through. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda. The course sets out a working method for electrical instrument calibration that participants can apply the week they return. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of this area of engineering and maintenance work rather than to abstract argument. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this aspect of engineering and maintenance work that the participant is prepared to defend internally.

Expected Learning Outcomes

04

Manage contractors and shutdown scopes involving electrical instrument calibration.

05

Investigate repeat failures on electrical instrument calibration to root cause.

06

Determine the failure modes of electrical instrument calibration and the consequence of each.

07

Establish what evidence would demonstrate that electrical instrument calibration is under control.
