Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Lead team in monitoring process and equipment
   • Demonstrate to team how to observe the process/equipment continuously and critically using appropriate senses (e.g. sight and hearing) to identify any potential or actual problems.
   • Identify to team data indicators that must be monitored and recorded.
   • Ensure team monitors identified data indicators frequently and critically.
   • Ensure symptoms of operations outside the desired range of conditions and performance are recognised.
   • Analyse cause of equipment non-standard performance within scope of knowledge and skill.
   • Ensure team members take timely action to solve problems or to refer problems to appropriate manager or specialist.
2. Apply proactive maintenance strategy
   • Obtain and discuss maintenance strategy with relevant people.
   • Identify aspects of maintenance strategy which require specific input from team.
   • Discuss maintenance strategy with team members.
   • Ensure team members have resources and training to be able to make the required contributions.
3. Analyse standard procedures and work practices
   • Examine team procedures and practices for compatibility with maintenance strategy.
   • Identify areas where production procedures/practices should be changed to comply with maintenance strategy.
   • Identify areas where maintenance strategy should change to comply with production procedures and practices.
   • Identify other activities or areas where changes might increase equipment reliability.
   • Take action to have the required changes made.
4. Facilitate team contribution to proactive maintenance
   • Monitor team's contribution to proactive maintenance.
   • Arrange for competency development of team members, as required.
   • Facilitate ongoing examination by the team of process reliability and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
   • Arrange for follow through and implementation of team originated improvements.
