Course Overview

Maintenance budgets are cut on maintenance contract management in good years and paid for in bad ones. The course covers the practice within engineering and maintenance work at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. Organisations that document this strand of engineering and maintenance work properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. It is designed for mixed groups, so that maintenance contract management is examined from more than one functional angle. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in this part of engineering and maintenance work rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Ambition around this aspect of engineering and maintenance work outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about maintenance contract management. The programme closes with an action plan for this area of engineering and maintenance work that each participant writes for their own organisation.
