Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Liaise with operator
   • Establish a relationship with the operator of equipment/plant.
   • Ensure the operator has the required skills and resources to keep the equipment/plant clean.
   • Ensure the operator is able to effectively monitor the operation of the equipment/plant.
   • Regularly communicate with operator about the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) of their equipment/plant.
   • Involve operator, team leader and other key personnel in identification of skill needs and means of skill acquisition to fill any identified gaps.
2. Analyse history
   • Analyse mean time between failures (MTBF) from maintenance records.
   • Analyse performance data of the equipment/plant.
   • Identify causes of changes to historic trends/status.
   • Determine methods of ensuring causes of improvements and resolution of deterioration are locked in.
3. Undertake failure mode effects analysis (FMEA) or similar failure effects analysis
   • Undertake analysis.
   • Record results of analysis.
   • Investigate methods of eliminating possibility of failure and/or minimising the impact of the failure.
   • Liaise with operator, team leader and other key personnel regarding possible solutions.
   • Select most appropriate solution.
   • Implement selected solutions.
4. Undertake condition monitoring analysis
   • Obtain data for condition monitoring analysis.
   • Interpret condition monitoring data.
   • Predict required maintenance type and timing from condition monitoring data.
   • Liaise with operator, team leader and other key personnel regarding implications of condition monitoring report.
   • Involve team members in development of changes to maintenance strategy to ensure awareness, learning and commitment.
