Bring Precision Maintenance Skills into Your Operation so Your Maintenance Crew know exactly how to deliver World Class Plant and Equipment Reliability Performance
Best Practice Maintenance Skills Training and Work Quality Assurance for World-Class Maintenance and Reliability Results
The only Precision Maintenance Trainers who Guarantee they will Develop world class Precision Maintenance Skills in Your Maintenance Work Crews that are Always Used
Hello and Welcome,
High precision maintenance skills deliver outstanding equipment reliability because the equipment maintainers that know how to use precision maintenance make sure that your equipment and machinery parts do not suffer failure stresses.
Once your have low stressed parts you naturally get greater equipment reliability and plant uptime. These days the precision skills needed to deliver precision maintenance quality workmanship are no longer taught to maintenance tradespeople, technicians or artisans as part of their maintenance skills training. You have to bring precision maintenance skills training into your company.
To lift people from their current levels of maintenance skill and precision maintenance knowledge to the levels required for world class reliability maintenance and operation requires additional engineering learning and hand skills training. Classroom based courses are not suited to transferring such knowledge and precisions maintenance work skills. Only practical, hands-on training can achieve the level of skills development required. We solve those training problems by doing the training at the workplace and on-the-job.
Before any precision maintenance skills training is done you need to set the required maintenance work quality in your maintenance standard operating procedures (SOP). The maintenance crew need to know the work quality you want them to deliver with their specialist maintenance skills.
This is counter intuitive, but it is vital—write the maintenance work quality standards into your maintenance procedures before you do precision maintenance skills training
If you want to be sure that your precision maintenance training will be successful and it will stay in use in your company you need work quality control standards in all maintenance work activities. Put maintenance work quality standards in your maintenance procedures and you have given your people a Precision Skills Target to hit, a Work Quality Tolerance that is acceptably close to the target, and you require them to do a Work Quality Proof Test to prove the result has met the quality tolerance.
When you set precision maintenance standards you challenge your maintenance people to produce the high quality maintenance skills that are vitally important for best work quality results and which reduce the chance of workmanship errors. By first developing well-written work procedures that incorporate best practice maintenance work quality into your maintenance documents you set a maintenance skills standard that all your maintainers need to achieve.
With your Accuracy Controlled Enterprise (ACE) standard operating procedures written, the precision maintenance training can commence. Writing ACE SOPs first puts the correct precision maintenance skills and engineering knowledge into your business system; the documents you write set the precision maintenance skills that your people are trained to.
If you only do precision maintenance skills training you find that the vital precision skills and engineering knowledge are never locked into your organisation's procedures, and when people leave the company they take those skills and knowledge with them.
It's long been known that the secret to high plant and equipment reliability and reliable production performance is to have high quality work procedures detailing the necessary standards to be met. With high precision standards set your people can then be trained to meet them and produce the great work quality results you want. First comes the standards and then the training to met those standards.
