Course Overview

Maintenance budgets are cut on preventive and total productive maintenance in good years and paid for in bad ones. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about productive maintenance. Where this aspect of engineering and maintenance work is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of preventive and total productive maintenance and supervised application. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in productive maintenance, not around theory headings. Moving preventive and total productive maintenance from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to productive maintenance that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
