Measure maintenance performance on annual maintenance budgeting with indicators that drive behaviour.
Designing Strategies for Preparing Accurate Annual Maintenance Budgets
Build a working method for annual maintenance budgeting that stands up to scrutiny and survives daily pressure.
Course Overview
Maintenance budgets are cut on annual maintenance budgeting in good years and paid for in bad ones. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda are used deliberately. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting the practice within engineering and maintenance work, ready to be adapted internally. Improvement in annual maintenance budgeting stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The programme is built to be used, and every section of this area of engineering and maintenance work it covers ends in something applicable. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make this aspect of engineering and maintenance work hard in practice. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better annual maintenance budgeting is rarely technical. Participants leave with a plan for the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
