Course Overview

Maintenance budgets are cut on failure mode and effects analysis in good years and paid for in bad ones. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for effects analysis. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of this aspect of engineering and maintenance work and supervised application. Plans for failure mode and effects analysis often fail at the handover point between functions. It treats the practice within engineering and maintenance work as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Mature organisations treat effects analysis as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to failure mode and effects analysis in an order their organisation can absorb. Participants leave with a plan for effects analysis sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.

Expected Learning Outcomes

Select the maintenance strategy for failure mode and effects analysis — run to failure, preventive, or condition-based — on evidence.

02

Reduce avoidable variation in how effects analysis is carried out across teams.

03

Apply safe isolation, permit and lockout controls to work on failure mode and effects analysis.

04

Prepare a short, evidence-based briefing on effects analysis for senior management.

05

Present the case for investment in failure mode and effects analysis in terms that a finance function will accept.

06

Specify acceptance criteria for work performed on effects analysis.

07

Determine the failure modes of failure mode and effects analysis and the consequence of each.

Course Modules

01

Failure mode and effects analysis: history, documentation and competence

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Choosing a maintenance strategy for failure mode and effects analysis on evidence

  • Rank the weaknesses in failure mode and effects analysis by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
  • Record what was learned when effects analysis did not go as planned.
  • Name a single owner for each element of failure mode and effects analysis.
  • Build the competence framework that supports effects analysis.

Session 2Investigating the failure on effects analysis that keeps returning

  • Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for failure mode and effects analysis.
  • Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of effects analysis current.
  • Confirm isolation and permit requirements before any work on failure mode and effects analysis.
  • Verify contractor competence and method statements for effects analysis.
02

Effects analysis: failure modes, consequence and criticality

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Escalation and decision rights in effects analysis

  • Identify single points of dependency in failure mode and effects analysis and reduce them.
  • List the credible failure modes of effects analysis and the consequence of each.
  • Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to failure mode and effects analysis.
  • Close out actions on effects analysis rather than leaving them open indefinitely.

Session 2Isolating effects analysis safely before work begins

  • Estimate the resource failure mode and effects analysis requires to run as designed.
  • Set escalation thresholds for effects analysis that work out of hours.
  • Check that failure mode and effects analysis still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
  • Confirm that contractual obligations around effects analysis are understood.
03

Effects analysis: choosing the right maintenance strategy

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Closing out effects analysis and capturing what was learned

  • Set maintenance indicators for failure mode and effects analysis that reward planning rather than heroics.
  • Agree what will be standardised in effects analysis and what will not.
  • Compare the cost of failure mode and effects analysis with the cost of its absence.
  • Investigate repeat failures on effects analysis to root cause, not to component.

Session 2The decisions in failure mode and effects analysis that cannot be delegated

  • Confirm that reporting on failure mode and effects analysis reaches the people who can act.
  • Establish what evidence demonstrates effects analysis is under control.
  • Prepare the summary of failure mode and effects analysis that senior management will read.
  • Arrange the handover of effects analysis so capability survives staff changes.
04

Effects analysis: safe isolation and permit control

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Maintenance indicators for effects analysis that change behaviour

  • Record the rationale for each significant choice made about failure mode and effects analysis.
  • Distinguish symptoms from causes when effects analysis underperforms.
  • Identify where judgement in failure mode and effects analysis is legitimate and where it is not.
  • Choose the maintenance strategy for effects analysis based on failure pattern, not tradition.

Session 2Planning work on effects analysis so it does not become reactive

  • Define acceptance criteria for completed work on failure mode and effects analysis.
  • Anticipate the objections effects analysis will raise and prepare the answers.
  • Test the procedure for failure mode and effects analysis against a realistic scenario.
  • Assign a criticality rating to effects analysis that drives work order priority.
