What this course is
A free, self-paced specialist course on garment factory maintenance: planned and predictive maintenance, sewing and cutting machine upkeep, safe operation of electrical and utility systems, and running an engineering store that supports uptime instead of hiding cost. Three modules, each ending with a five-question quiz.
Who it is for
- • Maintenance technicians and engineering supervisors
- • Production supervisors who depend on machine availability
- • Engineering store and purchasing staff
- • Students and graduates entering factory engineering
What you will be able to do
- • Build a maintenance schedule from failure history rather than from habit
- • Separate breakdown, planned and predictive work, and measure each one
- • Apply the safety rules that govern electrical, steam, compressed air and ventilation systems
- • Hold the right spares at the right level instead of the ones that were easy to buy
- • Show maintenance's effect on output, quality and energy cost in numbers
Modules
Module 1 — Maintenance systems and machine upkeep
Design a maintenance plan for a line: what is checked daily, what is planned, what is predicted from condition, and what gets recorded.
3 subjects · five-question quiz
Module 2 — Utilities and safety systems
State the operating and safety requirements of each major utility, and identify the losses that make utilities a cost as well as a hazard.
4 subjects · five-question quiz
Module 3 — Engineering stores and spares planning
Set spares levels from criticality and lead time, control the store with real issue records, and buy through a controlled purchase process.
