Determine the failure modes of total quality in engineering work and the consequence of each.
Total Quality in Engineering and Maintenance Work Management
Learn to design, measure and defend your organisation's approach to total quality in engineering work.
Course Overview
Maintenance budgets are cut on total quality in engineering work in good years and paid for in bad ones. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in engineering work before they become incidents. The programme works equally well for those formalising the practice within engineering and maintenance work for the first time and those improving an existing approach. It concentrates on the parts of total quality in engineering work that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Applied research in engineering and maintenance work consistently shows that early structure around this part of engineering and maintenance work reduces downstream rework. Most organisations already have a policy on engineering work; far fewer can show it working. Every module pairs a short input on total quality in engineering work with structured practice on the participant's own material. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to engineering work that would make a visible difference.

Specify acceptance criteria for work performed on engineering work.
Measure maintenance performance on total quality in engineering work with indicators that drive behaviour.

Course Modules
Total quality in engineering work: safe isolation and permit control
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Investigating the failure on total quality in engineering work that keeps returning
- Define acceptance criteria for total quality in engineering work in advance.
- Set maintenance indicators for engineering work that reward planning rather than heroics.
- Check that total quality in engineering work still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
- List the credible failure modes of engineering work and the consequence of each.
Session 2Maintenance indicators for engineering work that change behaviour
- Distinguish symptoms from causes when total quality in engineering work underperforms.
- Confirm that contractual obligations around engineering work are understood.
- Verify six months later that changes to total quality in engineering work have held.
- Investigate repeat failures on engineering work to root cause, not to component.

- Draft the minimum viable maintenance procedure for engineering work.
- Estimate the resource total quality in engineering work requires to run as designed.
