  • Appropriate adjustments to the maintenance plan are made based on experience and required documentation is completed
  • Maintenance records are completed and forwarded to appropriate personnel
  • Areas where changes to equipment operation or routine maintenance are required to maintain optimum work output and equipment life are noted
       
Element: Monitor and review maintenance management system
  • Continuous improvement strategies are developed
  • Performance criteria for maintenance goals are determined and data collection strategies are established
  • Performance information and outcomes are analysed and implications reported to appropriate personnel
       


Evidence Required

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.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, the required skills and knowledge, the range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the Elements, Performance Criteria, Required Skills, Required Knowledge and include:

developing effective planning documents

ensuring currency of relevant legislative and regulatory knowledge.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Performance is demonstrated consistently over time and in a suitable range of contexts.

Resources for assessment include access to:

industry-approved marine operations site where implementing a vessel planned maintenance system may be conducted

tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry

relevant regulatory and equipment documentation that impacts on work activities

range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulated practical and knowledge assessments

appropriate range of relevant operational situations in the workplace.

In both real and simulated environments, access is required to:

relevant and appropriate materials and equipment

applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.

Method of assessment

Practical assessment must occur in an:

appropriately simulated workplace environment and/or

appropriate range of situations in the workplace.

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate to this unit:

direct observation of the candidate implementing a vessel planned maintenance system

direct observation of the candidate applying relevant WHS/OHS requirements and work practices.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.

In all cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess Required Knowledge.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language and literacy requirements of the work being performed and the capacity of the candidate.

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required Skills:

Determine and recommend the need for capital expenditure for the replacement of plant and equipment

Develop maintenance strategies including establishing criteria for determining maintenance priorities and planning and scheduling routine equipment and overhead maintenance to meet quality system requirements

Develop recordkeeping procedures to document maintenance costs, problems, priorities, solutions, schedules and completions

Develop workforce commitment to effective maintenance strategies

Establish and monitor performance targets for maintenance teams within performance planning and appraisal processes

Evaluate and recommend alternative maintenance policies and strategies including changes in work roles and responsive/preventative models for maintenance

Identify and apply relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS), regulatory and organisational requirements

Manage maintenance costs

Monitor performance of the system

Present reports

Required Knowledge:

Cleaning materials, and storage and handling of such materials

Cost elements in maintenance system costing and budgeting

Costs resulting from poor maintenance and the benefits of a preventative maintenance system

Health hazards associated with maintenance procedures

Impacts of poor maintenance on the vessel, and on occupational and environmental safety

Lubrication and lubricant storage and handling

Maintenance issues related to the vessel

Plant and equipment falling under the scope of the maintenance program

Relevant legislation and regulations, and industrial agreements

Theory of corrosion and cathodic protection

Use and care of personal safety equipment

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.

Special requirements for maintenance may include:

Damage repair

Hatch cover watertight arrangements

Main engine or auxiliary machinery breakdowns

Replacing defective cargo lifting equipment

Routine maintenance tasks may include:

Back-ups

Changing user codes

Checks of cooling system, fuel, grease and oil, battery levels

Confirmation of operational effectiveness

Identification and replacement of worn parts

Inspections of fan belts, leads, lines, connections, air filters, hydraulics, lighting

Minor adjustments

Testing

Resource requirements may include:

Materials

Personnel

Tools and equipment

Training

Maintenance strategy may include:

Cleaning

Electrical

Emergency lighting

Evacuation

Housekeeping

Painting

Pests

Plumbing

Dealing with hazardous material

Hot work

Maintenance goals may include:

Changes in attitudes

Costs

Frequency of breakdowns

Length of time out of action

Time of repairs

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
