Course Overview

Maintenance budgets are cut on alternative spare part management in good years and paid for in bad ones. Comparative studies of part management across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Moving the engineering and maintenance work capability from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The level assumes working familiarity with the asset base but no prior formal training in alternative spare part management. Participants finish able to explain this strand of engineering and maintenance work to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a maintenance procedure for part management as they go. The programme takes participants through alternative spare part management end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to part management that would make a visible difference.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Identify the failure points in alternative spare part management most likely to cause loss, and control them first.

02

Set acceptance criteria for part management before work begins rather than after.

03

Build the competence framework for technicians working on alternative spare part management.

04

Specify acceptance criteria for work performed on part management.

05

Build the inspection and test plan covering alternative spare part management.

06

Determine the failure modes of part management and the consequence of each.

07

Align alternative spare part management with the wider objectives of the asset base rather than optimising it in isolation.
