Course Overview
Maintenance budgets are cut on shutdown duration reduction in good years and paid for in bad ones. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with this strand of engineering and maintenance work. It treats the practice within engineering and maintenance work as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of shutdown duration reduction and supervised application. Mature organisations treat this strand of engineering and maintenance work as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Progress on the practice within engineering and maintenance work is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in shutdown duration reduction before they become incidents. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Determine the failure modes of shutdown duration reduction and the consequence of each.
Define the scope and boundaries of shutdown duration reduction so that responsibility for it is unambiguous.
Structure records of shutdown duration reduction so that they answer the questions an auditor will actually ask.
Measure maintenance performance on shutdown duration reduction with indicators that drive behaviour.
Establish what evidence would demonstrate that shutdown duration reduction is under control.
Set criticality ratings that drive work order priority for shutdown duration reduction.

Course Modules
Shutdown duration reduction: safe isolation and permit control
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Investigating the failure on shutdown duration reduction that keeps returning

- Set the review interval for shutdown duration reduction and who attends.
- Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to shutdown duration reduction.
Session 2Choosing a maintenance strategy for shutdown duration reduction on evidence
- Close out actions on shutdown duration reduction rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
- Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of shutdown duration reduction current.
- Investigate repeat failures on shutdown duration reduction to root cause, not to component.

Shutdown duration reduction: inspection, testing and acceptance criteria
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1The cost of shutdown duration reduction and how to present it
- Set out how exceptions to shutdown duration reduction are requested and approved.
- Establish what evidence demonstrates shutdown duration reduction is under control.
- Distinguish symptoms from causes when shutdown duration reduction underperforms.
- Record what was learned when shutdown duration reduction did not go as planned.

Shutdown duration reduction: choosing the right maintenance strategy
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1The decisions in shutdown duration reduction that cannot be delegated
