Course Overview

Maintenance budgets are cut on maintenance contract disputes in good years and paid for in bad ones. Where the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. Plans for this area of 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 maintenance contract disputes. Participants leave with a method for the engineering and maintenance work capability, not a set of opinions about it. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a maintenance procedure for this aspect of engineering and maintenance work as they go. Participants gain a realistic view of what maintenance contract disputes costs and what it returns. The programme closes with an action plan for the engineering and maintenance work discipline that each participant writes for their own organisation.

  • Rehearse the briefing on maintenance contract disputes that would follow an incident.

Session 2Keeping maintenance contract disputes alive after the initial push

Session 2Isolating maintenance contract disputes safely before work begins

  • Define acceptance criteria for maintenance contract disputes in advance.
  • Identify the data already collected that bears on maintenance contract disputes.
  • Confirm isolation and permit requirements before any work on maintenance contract disputes.

Session 2How maintenance contract disputes actually fails, and how much warning you get

  • Establish the boundary of maintenance contract disputes and record what sits outside it.
  • Define the trigger that would require maintenance contract disputes to be redesigned.
  • Arrange the handover of maintenance contract disputes so capability survives staff changes.

Session 2The hard cases in maintenance contract disputes and how to reason about them

  • Set escalation thresholds for maintenance contract disputes that work out of hours.
  • Agree what will be standardised in maintenance contract disputes and what will not.
  • Check that records of maintenance contract disputes answer the questions likely to be asked.
  • Benchmark the organisation's maintenance contract disputes against comparable operations.
