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.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Maintain equipment/plant | 1.1 | Keep equipment/plant within area of responsibility clean. |
| 1.2 | Ensure equipment/plant is serviced and adjusted, as required, in accordance with procedures and own level of responsibility. |
| 1.3 | Access manufacturer manuals and specifications, where required, to expand knowledge on the maintenance of equipment/plant. |
| 1.4 | Access and update documentation on equipment/plant operation and maintenance in accordance with workplace procedures. |
|
2 | Monitor operation of equipment/plant | 2.1 | Regularly check key conditions of the equipment/plant as defined in workplace procedures. |
| 2.2 | Regularly check equipment/plant OEE. |
| 2.3 | Note any deviation from conditions specified in procedures. |
|
3 | Identify deviations and patterns | 3.1 | Identify any previous occurrences of a deviation. |
| 3.2 | Identify any related deviations which have occurred. |
| 3.3 | Identify any unusual occurrence which may be related to a deviation. |
|
4 | Take action appropriate to competency and authority on deviation | 4.1 | Liaise with relevant people regarding the deviation and the solution. |
| 4.2 | Implement solution and/or assist with the implementation of the solution, as appropriate. |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include the ability to monitor equipment/plant in one (1) or more areas, and to:
maintain the equipment/plant to the required standard
identify deviations in OEE requiring action
take the action required by the procedures.
Must provide evidence that demonstrates knowledge relevant to their job role sufficient to fulfil their job role under routine only supervision, including:
interpretation of trends or other non-random variation
determining OEE (availability x performance x quality rate) and uptime metrics
principles of operation of plant/equipment and factors likely to cause deviations in performance
identifying deviations requiring action
appropriate actions for dealing with deviations.
The unit should be assessed holistically and the judgement of competence shall be based on a holistic assessment of the evidence.
The collection of performance evidence:
should occur over a range of situations which include typical disruptions to normal, smooth operation of the workplace
will typically include a supervisor/third-party report focussing on consistent performance and problem recognition and solving. A supervisor/third-party report must be prepared by someone who has a direct, relevant, current relationship with the person being assessed and who is in a position to form a judgement on workplace performance relevant to the unit of competency
must include the application of proactive maintenance in own workplace
will typically include the use of appropriate tools, equipment and safety gear requiring demonstration of preparation, operation, completion and responding to problems.
Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations.
Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence (provided a record is kept) or through an independent process such as workbooks, written assessments or interviews (provided a record is kept).
Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately.
Assessors must satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment as set by the VET regulator.
The assessor must demonstrate both technical competency and currency.
Technical competence can be demonstrated through:
relevant VET or other qualification/Statement of Attainment AND/OR
relevant workplace experience
Currency can be demonstrated through:
performing the competency being assessed as part of current employment OR
having consulted with an organisation providing relevant environmental monitoring, management or technology services about performing the competency being assessed within the last twelve months.
