Course Overview
Maintenance budgets are cut on distribution board maintenance in good years and paid for in bad ones. The professional literature on this area of engineering and maintenance work converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The programme takes participants through this part of engineering and maintenance work end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in distribution board maintenance before they become incidents. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of this aspect of engineering and maintenance work and prepares them for it. Improvement in the engineering and maintenance work capability stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. It is written for people who have to make distribution board maintenance work with the resources they already have. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this area of engineering and maintenance work that would make a visible difference.

Course Modules
Distribution board maintenance: failure modes, consequence and criticality
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Investigating the failure on distribution board maintenance that keeps returning
- Arrange the handover of distribution board maintenance so capability survives staff changes.
- Identify where judgement in distribution board maintenance is legitimate and where it is not.
- Build the competence framework that supports distribution board maintenance.
- Plan the sequence in which improvements to distribution board maintenance will be introduced.
Session 2Isolating distribution board maintenance safely before work begins
- List the credible failure modes of distribution board maintenance and the consequence of each.
- Name a single owner for each element of distribution board maintenance.
- Close out actions on distribution board maintenance rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
- Record the rationale for each significant choice made about distribution board maintenance.
Distribution board maintenance: inspection, testing and acceptance criteria
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Maintenance indicators for distribution board maintenance that change behaviour
- Define acceptance criteria for completed work on distribution board maintenance.
- Confirm that those complying with distribution board maintenance understand why it exists.
- Prepare the response for the most likely failure in distribution board maintenance.
- Verify contractor competence and method statements for distribution board maintenance.
Session 2The hard cases in distribution board maintenance and how to reason about them
- Estimate the resource distribution board maintenance requires to run as designed.
- Remove steps in distribution board maintenance that add effort without adding assurance.
- Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of distribution board maintenance current.

Distribution board maintenance: history, documentation and competence
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1What condition data on distribution board maintenance is telling you early
- Collect evidence on the present handling of distribution board maintenance before proposing changes.
- Rank the weaknesses in distribution board maintenance by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
- Review whether distribution board maintenance is aligned with the objectives of the asset base.
- Identify the data already collected that bears on distribution board maintenance.
Session 2Planning work on distribution board maintenance so it does not become reactive
- Draft the minimum viable maintenance procedure for distribution board maintenance.
- Choose the maintenance strategy for distribution board maintenance based on failure pattern, not tradition.
- Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for distribution board maintenance.

Distribution board maintenance: safe isolation and permit control
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1What has to be agreed before work on distribution board maintenance starts
- Confirm isolation and permit requirements before any work on distribution board maintenance.
- Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to distribution board maintenance.
- Set maintenance indicators for distribution board maintenance that reward planning rather than heroics.
- Define acceptance criteria for distribution board maintenance in advance.
Session 2Getting other functions to support distribution board maintenance
- Rehearse the briefing on distribution board maintenance that would follow an incident.
- Investigate repeat failures on distribution board maintenance to root cause, not to component.
- Assign a criticality rating to distribution board maintenance that drives work order priority.
- Establish the boundary of distribution board maintenance and record what sits outside it.
