Course Overview

Maintenance budgets are cut on central maintenance workshops in good years and paid for in bad ones. Moving this strand of engineering and maintenance work from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on the engineering and maintenance work capability are used deliberately. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting central maintenance workshops, ready to be adapted internally. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda is examined, not just described. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better this part of engineering and maintenance work is rarely technical. It establishes a shared vocabulary for central maintenance workshops so that teams can disagree productively about it. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the engineering and maintenance work discipline that the participant is prepared to defend internally.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Central maintenance workshops: choosing the right maintenance strategy

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1What condition data on central maintenance workshops is telling you early

  • Establish who is informed, consulted and accountable in central maintenance workshops.
  • Estimate the resource central maintenance workshops requires to run as designed.
  • Assign a criticality rating to central maintenance workshops that drives work order priority.
  • Name a single owner for each element of central maintenance workshops.

Session 2What has to be agreed before work on central maintenance workshops starts

  • Confirm isolation and permit requirements before any work on central maintenance workshops.
  • Benchmark the organisation's central maintenance workshops against comparable operations.
  • Draft the minimum viable maintenance procedure for central maintenance workshops.

02

Central maintenance workshops: inspection, testing and acceptance criteria

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Isolating central maintenance workshops safely before work begins

  • Check that records of central maintenance workshops answer the questions likely to be asked.
  • Establish what evidence demonstrates central maintenance workshops is under control.
  • Collect evidence on the present handling of central maintenance workshops before proposing changes.
  • List the credible failure modes of central maintenance workshops and the consequence of each.

Session 2Maintenance indicators for central maintenance workshops that change behaviour

  • Anticipate the objections central maintenance workshops will raise and prepare the answers.
  • Choose the maintenance strategy for central maintenance workshops based on failure pattern, not tradition.
  • Distinguish symptoms from causes when central maintenance workshops underperforms.
  • Verify contractor competence and method statements for central maintenance workshops.
03

Central maintenance workshops: failure modes, consequence and criticality

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Investigating the failure on central maintenance workshops that keeps returning

  • Set out the decisions in central maintenance workshops that require sign-off and by whom.
  • Verify six months later that changes to central maintenance workshops have held.
  • Set maintenance indicators for central maintenance workshops that reward planning rather than heroics.
  • Close out actions on central maintenance workshops rather than leaving them open indefinitely.

Session 2Choosing a maintenance strategy for central maintenance workshops on evidence

  • Rehearse the briefing on central maintenance workshops that would follow an incident.
  • Check that central maintenance workshops still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
  • Prepare the response for the most likely failure in central maintenance workshops.
  • Map the handovers in central maintenance workshops between functions and secure them.
04

Central maintenance workshops: history, documentation and competence

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Closing out central maintenance workshops and capturing what was learned

  • Test the procedure for central maintenance workshops against a realistic scenario.
  • Define the trigger that would require central maintenance workshops to be redesigned.
  • Investigate repeat failures on central maintenance workshops to root cause, not to component.
  • Establish the boundary of central maintenance workshops and record what sits outside it.

Session 2Escalation and decision rights in central maintenance workshops

  • Identify the data already collected that bears on central maintenance workshops.
  • Define acceptance criteria for completed work on central maintenance workshops.
  • Build the internal briefing that explains central maintenance workshops to those affected.
  • Remove steps in central maintenance workshops that add effort without adding assurance.
