Course Overview

Maintenance budgets are cut on maintenance workforce balancing in good years and paid for in bad ones. It is written for people who have to make the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda work with the resources they already have. The course sets out a working method for the practice within engineering and maintenance work that participants can apply the week they return. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in maintenance workforce balancing rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of the engineering and maintenance work discipline to standardise and which to leave flexible. The professional literature on the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Progress on maintenance workforce balancing is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this strand of engineering and maintenance work ready to put in front of a decision maker.
