Build a maintenance and spares plan for one floor
You take responsibility for maintenance on a floor with 180 machines, frequent breakdowns and a spares store nobody trusts. There is no capital budget.
Who this is for: Maintenance supervisors and technicians, engineering store staff, production managers.
What you produce: A maintenance plan: failure analysis, the schedule, the spares list with levels, the safety controls, and the measures you report.
Nobody marks this for you. Write your own answer, compare it with the guidance under each task, then mark the capstone done when you are satisfied with it. Your writing is saved on this device, and to your account when you sign in.
Task 1
Analyse failures from whatever records exist, and say what you would start recording immediately.
What a good answer contains: A good answer ranks failures by frequency and downtime, admits the gaps in existing records, and defines a simple record that technicians will actually complete.

Task 2
Build the schedule: daily operator checks, planned tasks by machine type, and the condition checks you add.
What a good answer contains: A good answer gives operators a short daily check, bases planned intervals on failure history, and adds condition checks only where they change a decision.

Task 3
Set the critical spares list with levels and reorder points, justified by criticality and lead time.
What a good answer contains: A good answer justifies each holding by downtime consequence and lead time, and fixes stock-record accuracy before optimising levels.

Task 4
State the safety controls for maintenance work and the measures you will report monthly.
What a good answer contains: A good answer includes isolation and competence rules and reports availability, breakdown hours, planned-work completion and spares consumption.
