Technical Maintenance

Our operations can be categorised in two ways.  Firstly it examines whether the product remains the property of the customer. For example,  a service that is being offered.  Alternatively it examines whether a product is brought by the reprocessing organisation and sold to any customer wishing to make the purchase (Guadette: 2002).

Maintenance plays a critical role within any organisation and it is therefore included in this curriculum.   The Technical and Maintenance module will focus on those elements which are confronted by students on a regular basis without knowledge of the purpose or function of various activities. We only wake up to our need for maintenance when things stop work effectively and efficiently. 

The following will be covered on the WIBL programme:

• Event

Planned Corrective Maintenance (PCM)

Follow-on work order

Emergency Maintenance (EM)

Preventive Maintenance (PM)

Work requisition

Theft, breakage incidents or damage (TBID)

Refuel

Mobile Stores (V-STK)

Sectional Cost

Change Control

Non Conformance

Each process is described in detail so that students can relate to the processes which may previously been taken for granted.  A diagram following logical lines follows each process description.  The processes have been developed to clearly identify the role players, their functions and the steps to be followed for essential delivery of service.
