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 | Develop components of reliability strategy for a work/plant area | 1.1 | Determine manufacturer's recommended inspection, servicing and related schedules for relevant plant. |
| 1.2 | Consult with relevant people with regard to appropriate inspections, services and schedules. |
| 1.3 | Discuss any conflicts with relevant people and seek resolution of conflicts. |
| 1.4 | Develop schedules in liaison with relevant people. |
| 1.5 | Identify inspections and servicing which may be done by operations personnel in liaison with relevant stakeholders. |
|
2 | Assess current practice for maintenance implications | 2.1 | Identify the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) or other organisation targets for equipment/plant. |
| 2.2 | Evaluate procedures for plant/equipment reliability implications. |
| 2.3 | Discuss current practices with relevant people to determine any plant/equipment reliability implications. |
| 2.4 | Recommend changes to improve plant/equipment reliability in accordance with procedures. |
|
3 | Assist in implementing the reliability strategy | 3.1 | Arrange for schedules to be incorporated in relevant work plans. |
| 3.2 | Identify training needs in discussion with relevant personnel. |
| 3.3 | Assist personnel to develop required skills for inspections/ servicing within scope of authority. |
| 3.4 | Collect data/information as required by own work plan. |
| 3.5 | Compare data/information with performance indicators. |
| 3.6 | Recommend improvements to reliability strategy in accordance with procedures. |
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, for one (1) or more work/plant areas, to:
source information from manuals and other technical documentation or software
effectively communicate with users on equipment operational and maintenance history
develop schedules for maintenance activities, including seeking technical assistance, where appropriate
differentiate between proactive and traditional maintenance strategies.
Must provide evidence that demonstrates knowledge relevant to their job role sufficient to fulfil their job role independently, including:
requirements of the proactive maintenance strategy being implemented
operating principles and procedures for equipment/plant subject to proactive maintenance strategy
purpose and processes for data collection in proactive maintenance strategies
procedures relevant to own job and organisation implementation of proactive maintenance
methods of making/recommending improvements.
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 is best done from a report and/or folio of evidence drawn from:
a single project which provides sufficient evidence of the requirements of all the elements and performance criteria
multiple smaller projects which together provide sufficient evidence of the requirements of all the elements and performance criteria.
A third-party report, or similar, may be needed to testify to the work done by the individual, particularly when the project has been done as part of a project team.
Assessment should use a real project in an operational workplace.
Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence 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.
