Course Overview

Maintenance budgets are cut on mechanical stress and fatigue analysis in good years and paid for in bad ones. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting fatigue analysis and under-invest in testing it. The course sets out a working method for the practice within engineering and maintenance work that participants can apply the week they return. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about mechanical stress and fatigue analysis under scrutiny. The professional literature on the engineering and maintenance work capability converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. It is written for people who have to make fatigue analysis work with the resources they already have. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of mechanical stress and fatigue analysis is examined, not just described. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to fatigue analysis that the participant is prepared to defend internally.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Structure records of mechanical stress and fatigue analysis so that they answer the questions an auditor will actually ask.

03

Document decisions about mechanical stress and fatigue analysis in a form that remains useful after the people change.

04

Investigate repeat failures on fatigue analysis to root cause.

05

Establish what evidence would demonstrate that mechanical stress and fatigue analysis is under control.

06

Set criticality ratings that drive work order priority for fatigue analysis.

07

Build the inspection and test plan covering mechanical stress and fatigue analysis.

Course Modules

01

Mechanical stress and fatigue analysis: inspection, testing and acceptance criteria

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1What condition data on mechanical stress and fatigue analysis is telling you early

  • Reduce the variation in how mechanical stress and fatigue analysis is carried out between teams.
  • Identify the data already collected that bears on fatigue analysis.
  • Test the procedure for mechanical stress and fatigue analysis against a realistic scenario.
  • Prepare the response for the most likely failure in fatigue analysis.

Session 2Planning work on fatigue analysis so it does not become reactive

  • Investigate repeat failures on mechanical stress and fatigue analysis to root cause, not to component.
  • List the credible failure modes of fatigue analysis and the consequence of each.
  • Prepare the summary of mechanical stress and fatigue analysis that senior management will read.
  • Close out actions on fatigue analysis rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
02

Fatigue analysis: safe isolation and permit control

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Maintenance indicators for fatigue analysis that change behaviour

  • Verify six months later that changes to mechanical stress and fatigue analysis have held.
  • Draft the minimum viable maintenance procedure for fatigue analysis.
  • Define acceptance criteria for mechanical stress and fatigue analysis in advance.
  • Record what was learned when fatigue analysis did not go as planned.

Session 2What to measure in fatigue analysis and what to ignore

  • Set maintenance indicators for mechanical stress and fatigue analysis that reward planning rather than heroics.
  • Choose the maintenance strategy for fatigue analysis based on failure pattern, not tradition.
  • Assign a criticality rating to mechanical stress and fatigue analysis that drives work order priority.
  • Verify contractor competence and method statements for fatigue analysis.
03

Fatigue analysis: history, documentation and competence

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Getting other functions to support fatigue analysis

  • Confirm that contractual obligations around mechanical stress and fatigue analysis are understood.
  • Confirm that those complying with fatigue analysis understand why it exists.
  • Plan the sequence in which improvements to mechanical stress and fatigue analysis will be introduced.
  • Compare the cost of fatigue analysis with the cost of its absence.

Session 2How mechanical stress and fatigue analysis actually fails, and how much warning you get

  • Confirm that reporting on mechanical stress and fatigue analysis reaches the people who can act.
  • Review whether fatigue analysis is aligned with the objectives of the asset base.
  • Define acceptance criteria for completed work on mechanical stress and fatigue analysis.
  • Agree the indicators that will show whether fatigue analysis is improving.
04

Fatigue analysis: choosing the right maintenance strategy

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1What has to be agreed before work on fatigue analysis starts

  • Confirm isolation and permit requirements before any work on mechanical stress and fatigue analysis.
  • Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of fatigue analysis current.
  • Anticipate the objections mechanical stress and fatigue analysis will raise and prepare the answers.
  • Set out how exceptions to fatigue analysis are requested and approved.

Session 2Investigating the failure on fatigue analysis that keeps returning

  • Rehearse the briefing on mechanical stress and fatigue analysis that would follow an incident.
  • Establish what evidence demonstrates fatigue analysis is under control.
  • Map the handovers in mechanical stress and fatigue analysis between functions and secure them.
  • Establish the boundary of fatigue analysis and record what sits outside it.
