<p>This unit is on industrial techniques useful for maintenance and reliability engineering problem solving. Topics include work measurement, method study and activity sampling applied to maintenance activities. Topics extend to personnel time management, stock control of materials and parts within the maintenance function, stores layout, establishing inventories, and stock levels and re-order levels. Project management techniques are integrated into the unit to show how they can be applied to shutdowns and major maintenance project activities including critical path analysis of networks and analysis of schedules for time requirements using Gantt charts and project evaluation and review technique. Motivation and control of the workforce covering leadership and management in maintenance are also covered. This is an important unit for students interested in practicing good asset management, maintenance and reliability engineering.<br><br>
