Course Overview
Spares strategy for heavy equipment fleet maintenance is an availability decision disguised as a cost decision. Equipment involved in fleet maintenance rarely fails without warning; the warning is usually in data nobody reviewed. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place this aspect of engineering and maintenance work among the areas with the widest performance spread. It is written for people who have to make heavy equipment fleet maintenance work with the resources they already have. Moving this area of engineering and maintenance work from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a maintenance procedure for fleet maintenance as they go. The programme takes participants through heavy equipment fleet maintenance end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what fleet maintenance has actually achieved. The final module sets out how progress on the engineering and maintenance work discipline will be evidenced six months later.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Build the asset register and maintenance history for fleet maintenance.
Recognise early indicators that heavy equipment fleet maintenance is drifting away from its intended design.

Determine the failure modes of heavy equipment fleet maintenance and the consequence of each.
Set a realistic target state for fleet maintenance and a defensible route to it.
Maintain drawings and documentation for heavy equipment fleet maintenance after modification.

Fleet maintenance: failure modes, consequence and criticality
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Investigating the failure on fleet maintenance that keeps returning
- Check that heavy equipment fleet maintenance still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
- Confirm isolation and permit requirements before any work on fleet maintenance.
- Close out actions on heavy equipment fleet maintenance rather than leaving them open indefinitely.

- Confirm that those complying with fleet maintenance understand why it exists.
- Verify contractor competence and method statements for heavy equipment fleet maintenance.
- Rank the weaknesses in fleet maintenance by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
