Rework faulty production engines


Application

This unit describes the performance outcomes required to rework faulty engines based on test results that identify operating inconsistencies or faults.

It applies to those in an automotive and related component manufacturing environment.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.


Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements

Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section

1. Plan and prepare

1.1 Workplace procedures are identified and applied

1.2 Work instructions, including relevant inspection reports and forms and quality requirements, are identified, confirmed and applied

1.3 Tools and equipment for reworking engine are identified and selected, and checked for faults

1.4 Materials appropriate to the work application are identified, obtained and prepared

2. Confirm test findings

2.1 Engine is tested to simulate normal operating conditions

2.2 Computerised or physical tests are conducted on the reported faults of the engine against designated performance specifications

2.3 Results of tests are confirmed and documented

3. Rectify engine fault

3.1 Fault is identified and diagnosed, and suitable repair is planned

3.2 Rectification is applied according to engineering specifications

3.3 Engine is re-tested to ensure rework has eliminated the fault and final adjustments are made

3.4 Engine is transferred to the designated holding area

4. Complete work processes

4.1 Work area is cleaned, and materials disposed of, reused or recycled according to workplace procedures

4.2 Tools and equipment are cleaned, checked, maintained and stored according to workplace procedures

4.3 Faulty equipment is identified, tagged and reported

4.4 Documentation is completed, outlining work conducted and outcome, according to workplace procedures
