Course Overview
Maintenance budgets are cut on maintenance planning and downtime reduction in good years and paid for in bad ones. Organisations that document downtime reduction properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. It treats the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Plans for maintenance planning and downtime reduction often fail at the handover point between functions. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to the engineering and maintenance work discipline in an order their organisation can absorb. Participants who influence downtime reduction without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a maintenance procedure for maintenance planning and downtime reduction as they go. Participants leave with a plan for downtime reduction sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
