Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Critical aspects of evidence
Locate, interpret and apply relevant technical and production information
Apply safety requirements throughout the work sequence, including the use of personal protective clothing and equipment
To establish the maintenance program for a real or simulated significant production operation, including:
coordination of maintenance within the context of production schedules
identification of resource requirements for maintenance, including skills of employees involved
recording and reporting requirements to provide system visibility and accountability potential
Complete a benefit analysis of an existing and significant maintenance program
Suggest improvements to maintenance operations and where authorised, negotiate changes
Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace cultures and environment
Work effectively with others
Resource implications
Access to production information and schedules, equipment specifications and workshop manuals for production process equipment requiring maintenance.
Method of assessment
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.
Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.
Context of assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
Submission Requirements
List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Required skills
research, collect, organise and understand information related to equipment maintenance systems, including the relevant technical, regulatory, cultural, environmental and safety requirements
communicate ideas and information to enable the documentation and clarification of the maintenance requirements, coordination of work with site managers and supervisors, workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems
plan and organise activities, including the allocation of human resources and the obtaining of equipment, systems and materials to avoid any backtracking, workflow interruptions or wastage
work with others to foster the team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity
use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly identify and establish the statistical basis for the management and monitoring of maintenance programs
create and apply systematic problem solving techniques to anticipate maintenance problems, avoid re-working and avoid wastage
use the workplace technology related to maintenance, including machinery, tools and equipment, calculators and measuring devices and computing/ computer-aided systems
Required knowledge
contemporary equipment maintenance theories covering benefits and costs
the effects of production schedules, time and resource requirements when scheduling the maintenance process
risk analysis processes
company operating procedures, including procedures for maintenance
operation requirements of equipment and work systems in the work area
competency requirements of the work activities
relevant OHS requirements
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Unit scope
This unit covers the work involved in establishing, organising and implementing both preventative and reactive maintenance programs in a furnishing enterprise
The competency entails the provision of maintenance with regard for the production schedule and of the plant, equipment and facilities operated by the enterprise
Unit context
OHS requirements include legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous substances and dangerous goods codes and safe operating procedures
Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, authorised handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements
Work requires individuals to demonstrate organisational ability, discretion, judgement and problem solving skills
Workplace environment
The coordination of maintenance is undertaken in accordance with established enterprise procedures and practices and may include manufacturers' recommendations
Work is generally performed with little external assistance and with minimal supervision or direction
Work activities of other employees are supervised and assistance to others is provided
Customers are normally internal
Machines/equipment may include:
any machine typically used in the furnishing sector concerned
microprocessor or computer-controlled machines
both production and facility equipment used in the enterprise
Personal protective equipment
Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices
Information and procedures
Work procedures/instructions
Manufacturer specifications and instructions
Organisation work specifications and requirements
Legislation/regulations/national and industry codes and practices relevant to maintenance systems
Quality and Australian standards and procedures
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
Observation Checklist

Yes
No
Comments/feedback
Equipment specifications, service requirements and workplace procedures are checked for recommended maintenance intervals and processes
Special requirements for maintenance are separated from normal lubrication, adjustment and maintenance schedules
Comparisons with previous experience, future equipment use, production requirements and standard operating procedures are made
An outline plan for maintenance and a related work schedule is identified and developed
Costings for process are identified based on work schedule (equipment/staff off-line), equipment manufacturers' recommendations, charges for materials, equipment and consumables and external/internal labour charges
