Course Overview

Maintenance budgets are cut on reliability maintenance and failure analysis in good years and paid for in bad ones. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with failure analysis. Practitioner evidence points the same way: this part of engineering and maintenance work improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. The programme is built to be used, and every section of reliability maintenance and failure analysis it covers ends in something applicable. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of this aspect of engineering and maintenance work is examined, not just described. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on failure analysis and revise it on evidence. Moving reliability maintenance and failure analysis from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The programme closes with an action plan for failure analysis that each participant writes for their own organisation.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Investigate repeat failures on reliability maintenance and failure analysis to root cause.

02

Diagnose whether a problem in failure analysis is one of design, resourcing or discipline.

03

Document decisions about reliability maintenance and failure analysis in a form that remains useful after the people change.

04

Measure maintenance performance on failure analysis with indicators that drive behaviour.

05

Determine the failure modes of reliability maintenance and failure analysis and the consequence of each.

06

Build the competence framework for technicians working on failure analysis.

07

Prepare a short, evidence-based briefing on reliability maintenance and failure analysis for senior management.

Course Modules

01

Reliability maintenance and failure analysis: inspection, testing and acceptance criteria

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1How reliability maintenance and failure analysis actually fails, and how much warning you get

  • Set out the decisions in reliability maintenance and failure analysis that require sign-off and by whom.
  • Confirm isolation and permit requirements before any work on failure analysis.
  • Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to reliability maintenance and failure analysis.
  • List the credible failure modes of failure analysis and the consequence of each.

Session 2Where failure analysis typically breaks, and why

  • Verify contractor competence and method statements for reliability maintenance and failure analysis.
  • Identify the data already collected that bears on failure analysis.
  • Define acceptance criteria for reliability maintenance and failure analysis in advance.
  • Draft the minimum viable maintenance procedure for failure analysis.
02

Failure analysis: safe isolation and permit control

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Isolating failure analysis safely before work begins

  • Confirm that those complying with reliability maintenance and failure analysis understand why it exists.
  • Distinguish symptoms from causes when failure analysis underperforms.
  • Arrange the handover of reliability maintenance and failure analysis so capability survives staff changes.
  • Record the rationale for each significant choice made about failure analysis.

Session 2Who answers for failure analysis, and to whom

  • Rehearse the briefing on reliability maintenance and failure analysis that would follow an incident.
  • Build the competence framework that supports failure analysis.
  • Anticipate the objections reliability maintenance and failure analysis will raise and prepare the answers.
  • Prepare the summary of failure analysis that senior management will read.
03

Failure analysis: history, documentation and competence

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Making failure analysis work when resources are constrained

  • Map the handovers in reliability maintenance and failure analysis between functions and secure them.
  • Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of failure analysis current.
  • Remove steps in reliability maintenance and failure analysis that add effort without adding assurance.
  • Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for failure analysis.

Session 2What condition data on reliability maintenance and failure analysis is telling you early

  • Agree the smallest change to reliability maintenance and failure analysis that would be visibly useful.
  • Establish the boundary of failure analysis and record what sits outside it.
  • Choose the maintenance strategy for reliability maintenance and failure analysis based on failure pattern, not tradition.
  • Define acceptance criteria for completed work on failure analysis.
04

Failure analysis: choosing the right maintenance strategy

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Choosing a maintenance strategy for failure analysis on evidence

  • Check that records of reliability maintenance and failure analysis answer the questions likely to be asked.
  • Assign a criticality rating to failure analysis that drives work order priority.
  • Reduce the variation in how reliability maintenance and failure analysis is carried out between teams.
  • Identify single points of dependency in failure analysis and reduce them.

Session 2Maintenance indicators for failure analysis that change behaviour

  • Set maintenance indicators for reliability maintenance and failure analysis that reward planning rather than heroics.
  • Investigate repeat failures on failure analysis to root cause, not to component.
  • Verify six months later that changes to reliability maintenance and failure analysis have held.
  • Prepare the response for the most likely failure in failure analysis.
