Analyse equipment performance
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit of competency applies to technicians who are responsible for setting up and operating performance verification trials and analysing the results to determine actual performance compared to theoretical performance of equipment and equipment components.
It applies typically to the extrusion, automated casting or moulding sectors of the industry. This competency applies to all work environments and sectors within the industry, but does require both a theoretical/mathematical and a practical analysis of the process at a level equivalent to an analysis of screw performance in an extruder.
The competency does not require knowledge of industry sectors and materials other than that in which the technician works. It assumes an understanding of the operation of all relevant equipment and processes but does not necessarily require them to be used personally.
This competency is typically performed by a senior technician who will take the lead in the data gathering phase and then analyse the data.
This unit of competency covers the analysis of the performance, and performance verification of existing equipment. It is based on PMBTECH501A Analyse equipment performance.
It involves calculating the theoretical performance components, gathering data, calculating performance and making recommendations based on verification results.
