Build the inspection and test plan covering downtime reduction strategy.
Designing Strategies to Reduce Planned and Emergency Downtime
Learn to design, measure and defend your organisation's approach to downtime reduction strategy.
Course Overview
Maintenance budgets are cut on downtime reduction strategy in good years and paid for in bad ones. It is designed for mixed groups, so that the engineering and maintenance work discipline is examined from more than one functional angle. They acquire practical criteria for judging when this part of engineering and maintenance work is working and when it is only appearing to. The course sets out a working method for downtime reduction strategy that participants can apply the week they return. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a maintenance procedure for this strand of engineering and maintenance work as they go. What blocks progress on the engineering and maintenance work capability is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in downtime reduction strategy that were visible long before the incident. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the engineering and maintenance work discipline that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
