Determine the failure modes of instrument reading verification and the consequence of each.
Designing Strategies to Verify the Accuracy of Instrument Readings
A working programme in instrument reading verification for managers who have to deliver with existing resources.
Course Overview
Spares strategy for instrument reading verification is an availability decision disguised as a cost decision. Reactive work on this aspect of engineering and maintenance work costs several times what the same job costs when planned. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make the engineering and maintenance work discipline hard in practice. The difficulty is not agreeing that instrument reading verification matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Participants gain a realistic view of what this area of engineering and maintenance work costs and what it returns. The course sets out a working method for the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda that participants can apply the week they return. Applied research in engineering and maintenance work consistently shows that early structure around instrument reading verification reduces downstream rework. It suits anyone whose decisions touch the practice within engineering and maintenance work, in large organisations and small ones alike. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the engineering and maintenance work capability sustainable.
