Build the competence framework for technicians working on maintenance finance and asset life cycle.
Financial Management of Maintenance Work and Asset Life Cycle Assessment
Move maintenance finance and asset life cycle from general awareness to a repeatable, reviewable practice.
Course Overview
Reactive work on maintenance finance and asset life cycle costs several times what the same job costs when planned. The reliability of life cycle is decided at design and procurement, long before the first breakdown. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of this aspect of engineering and maintenance work is examined, not just described. The course sets out a working method for maintenance finance and asset life cycle that participants can apply the week they return. Most organisations already have a policy on this strand of engineering and maintenance work; far fewer can show it working. Organisations that document life cycle properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what maintenance finance and asset life cycle has actually achieved. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for life cycle, not for observers of it. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the practice within engineering and maintenance work sustainable.

- Specify condition monitoring on life cycle that gives usable warning time.
- Confirm that contractual obligations around maintenance finance and asset life cycle are understood.

- Define acceptance criteria for completed work on maintenance finance and asset life cycle.
- Verify six months later that changes to life cycle have held.
