Communicate the purpose of overall equipment effectiveness to those who have to comply with it.
Designing Strategies to Improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness
An applied course in overall equipment effectiveness built around the decisions practitioners actually face.
Course Overview
Where maintenance history on overall equipment effectiveness is incomplete, every decision becomes a guess. The reliability of the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda is decided at design and procurement, long before the first breakdown. Practitioner evidence points the same way: the engineering and maintenance work capability improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Plans for overall equipment effectiveness often fail at the handover point between functions. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what the practice within engineering and maintenance work has actually achieved. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of the engineering and maintenance work discipline rather than to abstract argument. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on overall equipment effectiveness are used deliberately. The programme is built to be used, and every section of this strand of engineering and maintenance work it covers ends in something applicable. The final module sets out how progress on the practice within engineering and maintenance work will be evidenced six months later.

Course Modules
Overall equipment effectiveness: inspection, testing and acceptance criteria
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1How overall equipment effectiveness actually fails, and how much warning you get
- List the credible failure modes of overall equipment effectiveness and the consequence of each.
- Investigate repeat failures on overall equipment effectiveness to root cause, not to component.
- Set out the decisions in overall equipment effectiveness that require sign-off and by whom.
- Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of overall equipment effectiveness current.
Session 2Testing overall equipment effectiveness before relying on it
- Anticipate the objections overall equipment effectiveness will raise and prepare the answers.
- Rehearse the briefing on overall equipment effectiveness that would follow an incident.
- Record who is competent to work on overall equipment effectiveness and when requalification is due.

Overall equipment effectiveness: planning, scheduling and downtime reduction
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Keeping overall equipment effectiveness alive after the initial push
- Check that overall equipment effectiveness still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
- Identify critical spares for overall equipment effectiveness and confirm lead times against consequence.
- Set maintenance indicators for overall equipment effectiveness that reward planning rather than heroics.
- Collect evidence on the present handling of overall equipment effectiveness before proposing changes.
Session 2What to measure in overall equipment effectiveness and what to ignore
- Draft the minimum viable maintenance procedure for overall equipment effectiveness.
- Build the life cycle cost model supporting repair or replace on overall equipment effectiveness.

Overall equipment effectiveness: spares, logistics and availability
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Isolating overall equipment effectiveness safely before work begins
- Verify six months later that changes to overall equipment effectiveness have held.
- Update drawings and documentation after every modification to overall equipment effectiveness.

Session 2Choosing a maintenance strategy for overall equipment effectiveness on evidence
- Plan the sequence in which improvements to overall equipment effectiveness will be introduced.
