Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Maintain equipment/ plant
  2. Monitor operation of equipment/plant
  3. Identify deviations and patterns
  4. Take action appropriate to competency and authority on deviation

Evidence Required

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge the range statement and the assessment guidelines for this training package

Overview of assessment requirements

The employee should own their plantequipment and take a lead role in ensuring that it is always operating in peak condition and with high and increasing OEE

What are the specific resource requirements for this unit

Access to a plant using a proactive maintenance strategy

What critical aspects of evidence are required to demonstrate competency in this unit

There should be evidence of deviations recognised and appropriate solutions implemented

In what context should assessment occur

Assessment needs to occur in an organisation using a predictive maintenance strategy

Are there any other units which could or should be assessed with this unit or which relate directly to this unit

This unit may be assessed concurrently with other units dealing with maintenance

This unit is related to

MSACMTA Undertake root cause analysis which is one of the analysis tools and also to

MSACMT280A Undertake root cause analysis which is one of the analysis tools, and also to

MSACMTA Undertake proactive maintenance analysesand

MSACMT481A Undertake proactive maintenance analyses,and

MSACMTA Develop a proactive maintenance strategy

MSACMT681A Develop a proactive maintenance strategy

which cover the intermediate and high skill levels respectively

What method of assessment should apply

Assessors must be satisfied that the person can consistently perform the unit as a whole as defined by the Elements Performance Criteria skills and knowledge A holistic approach should be taken to the assessment

Assessors should gather sufficient fair valid reliable authentic and current evidence from a range of sources Sources of evidence may include direct observation reports from supervisors peers and colleagues project work samples organisation records and questioning Assessment should not require language literacy or numeracy skills beyond those required for the unit

The assessee will have access to all techniques procedures information resources and aids which would normally be available in the workplace

The method of assessment should be discussed and agreed with the assessee prior to the commencement of the assessment

What evidence is required for demonstration of consistent performance

Evidence should be required from a range of activities indicating that the maintenance and monitoring elements are a routine part of the job and that the identification of patterns and taking action has occurred in a range of situations


Range Statement

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.

Uptime

Uptime refers to the overall availability of the plant - it is the inverse of downtime or the unavailability of the plant. Ideal uptime is 100%.

Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE)

Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) is the combination of the main factors causing loss of productive capacity from equipment/plant and is:

OEE = availability x performance x quality rate

where:

availability takes into account losses due to breakdown, set up and adjustments

performance takes into account losses due to minor stoppages, reduced speed and idling

quality rate takes into account t losses due to rejects, re-works and start up waste.

Procedures

Procedures include all work instructions, standard operating procedures, formulas/recipes, batch sheets, temporary instructions and similar instructions provided for the smooth running of the plant. They may be written, verbal, computer based or in some other form.

For the purposes of this Training Package, 'procedures' also includes good operating practice as may be defined by industry codes of practice (eg Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Responsible Care) and government regulations.
