Apply safe isolation, permit and lockout controls to work on periodic maintenance projects.
Managing Periodic Maintenance Projects
Develop the judgement and the documentation needed to run periodic maintenance projects properly.
Course Overview
Maintenance budgets are cut on periodic maintenance projects in good years and paid for in bad ones. A common pattern is strong design of the practice within engineering and maintenance work paired with weak follow-through. Participants leave with a method for this part of engineering and maintenance work, not a set of opinions about it. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from periodic maintenance projects, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Applied research in engineering and maintenance work consistently shows that early structure around this strand of engineering and maintenance work reduces downstream rework. Participants gain a realistic view of what this part of engineering and maintenance work costs and what it returns. The content is relevant to those who own periodic maintenance projects and to those who are held accountable for its results. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the practice within engineering and maintenance work that participants can repeat annually.

Periodic maintenance projects: history, documentation and competence
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1How periodic maintenance projects actually fails, and how much warning you get
- Define acceptance criteria for periodic maintenance projects in advance.
- Choose the maintenance strategy for periodic maintenance projects based on failure pattern, not tradition.

Session 2What condition data on periodic maintenance projects is telling you early
- Test the procedure for periodic maintenance projects against a realistic scenario.
- Investigate repeat failures on periodic maintenance projects to root cause, not to component.
