Course Overview

Spares strategy for healthcare facility maintenance is an availability decision disguised as a cost decision. Where maintenance history on this strand of engineering and maintenance work is incomplete, every decision becomes a guess. It treats the engineering and maintenance work capability as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about healthcare facility maintenance. Plans for the practice within engineering and maintenance work often fail at the handover point between functions. The content is relevant to those who own the engineering and maintenance work capability and to those who are held accountable for its results. The professional literature on healthcare facility maintenance converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make this area of engineering and maintenance work hard in practice. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this part of engineering and maintenance work that would make a visible difference.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Build the competence framework for technicians working on healthcare facility maintenance.

Course Modules

01

Healthcare facility maintenance: safe isolation and permit control

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Closing out healthcare facility maintenance and capturing what was learned

  • Estimate the true cost of one hour of unplanned downtime on healthcare facility maintenance.
  • Define acceptance criteria for healthcare facility maintenance in advance.
  • Remove steps in healthcare facility maintenance that add effort without adding assurance.
  • Define the turnaround scope for healthcare facility maintenance and freeze it before mobilisation.

Session 2How healthcare facility maintenance actually fails, and how much warning you get

  • Define the trigger that would require healthcare facility maintenance to be redesigned.
  • Confirm that those complying with healthcare facility maintenance understand why it exists.
  • Set maintenance indicators for healthcare facility maintenance that reward planning rather than heroics.
  • Assess energy loss attributable to the condition of healthcare facility maintenance.
02

Healthcare facility maintenance: failure modes, consequence and criticality

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Comparing healthcare facility maintenance with recognised practice

  • Build the internal briefing that explains healthcare facility maintenance to those affected.
  • Define acceptance criteria for completed work on healthcare facility maintenance.
  • Benchmark the organisation's healthcare facility maintenance against comparable operations.
  • Build the life cycle cost model supporting repair or replace on healthcare facility maintenance.

Session 2Spares for healthcare facility maintenance: lead time against consequence

  • Calculate the ratio of planned to reactive work on healthcare facility maintenance.
  • Reduce the variation in how healthcare facility maintenance is carried out between teams.
  • Update drawings and documentation after every modification to healthcare facility maintenance.
  • Test the procedure for healthcare facility maintenance against a realistic scenario.
03

Healthcare facility maintenance: planning, scheduling and downtime reduction

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Making healthcare facility maintenance work when resources are constrained

  • Identify critical spares for healthcare facility maintenance and confirm lead times against consequence.
  • Specify condition monitoring on healthcare facility maintenance that gives usable warning time.
  • Agree the indicators that will show whether healthcare facility maintenance is improving.
  • Prepare the response for the most likely failure in healthcare facility maintenance.

Session 2Choosing a maintenance strategy for healthcare facility maintenance on evidence

  • Choose the maintenance strategy for healthcare facility maintenance based on failure pattern, not tradition.
  • Identify where judgement in healthcare facility maintenance is legitimate and where it is not.
  • Investigate repeat failures on healthcare facility maintenance to root cause, not to component.
  • Identify single points of dependency in healthcare facility maintenance and reduce them.
04

Healthcare facility maintenance: choosing the right maintenance strategy

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Investigating the failure on healthcare facility maintenance that keeps returning

  • Record who is competent to work on healthcare facility maintenance and when requalification is due.
  • Assign a criticality rating to healthcare facility maintenance that drives work order priority.
  • Set inspection intervals for healthcare facility maintenance from condition data where it exists.
  • Compare the cost of healthcare facility maintenance with the cost of its absence.

Session 2Maintenance indicators for healthcare facility maintenance that change behaviour

  • Record what was learned when healthcare facility maintenance did not go as planned.
  • Confirm isolation and permit requirements before any work on healthcare facility maintenance.
  • Name a single owner for each element of healthcare facility maintenance.
  • Rank the weaknesses in healthcare facility maintenance by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
