Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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

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

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the ability to:

communicate effectively with team on the proactive maintenance strategy being adopted and the role expected by the team in its implementation

identify data required from team and for team key from the proactive maintenance strategy

analysing proactive maintenance strategy and current work practices of the team to identifying opportunities for better fit

differentiate between proactive and traditional maintenance strategies.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of performance must be undertaken in a workplace using or implementing one or more competitive systems and practices.

Access may be required to:

workplace procedures and plans relevant to work area

specifications and documentation relating to planned, currently being implemented, or implemented changes to work processes and procedures relevant to the assessee

documentation and information in relation to production, waste, overheads and hazard control/management

reports from supervisors/managers

case studies and scenarios to assess responses to contingencies.

Method of assessment

A holistic approach should be taken to the assessment.

Competence in this unit may be assessed by using a combination of the following to generate evidence:

demonstration in the workplace

workplace projects

suitable simulation

case studies/scenarios (particularly for assessment of contingencies, improvement scenarios, and so on)

targeted questioning

reports from supervisors, peers and colleagues (third-party reports)

portfolio of evidence.

In all cases it is expected that practical assessment will be combined with targeted questioning to assess underpinning knowledge.

Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability.

Guidance information for assessment

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

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Required skills include:

explaining concepts and processes to team of the proactive maintenance strategy and associated analyses used by the organisation and distinguishing from traditional (breakdown) maintenance strategies

communicating with team members, maintenance personnel and technical experts in a variety of situations and using different media

assessing capability of team as a whole and individually to contribute to proactive maintenance strategy

identifying resources in the organisation to improve team capability in regards to proactive maintenance strategy

working in a team

solving problems

Required knowledge

Required knowledge includes:

the production process as it applies to the team area of responsibility

equipment controls and function used in team’s work area

data ranges and indicators for normal team operations

data and equipment variations and fault indicators able to be identified by team during operations

proactive maintenance strategies used by the organisation, including:

range of date required from team for proactive maintenance strategy

typical analyses used by the proactive maintenance strategy and their implication for work of the team

responsibilities of the team, maintenance staff and technical experts

OEE and relationship to team’s operational capability

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.

Competitive systems and practices

Competitive systems and practices may include, but are not limited to:

lean operations

agile operations

preventative and predictive maintenance approaches

monitoring and data gathering systems, such as Systems Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) software, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, Materials Resource Planning (MRP), and proprietary systems statistical process control systems, including six sigma and three sigma

Just in Time (JIT), kanban and other pull-related operations control systems

supply, value, and demand chain monitoring and analysis

5S

continuous improvement (kaizen)

breakthrough improvement (kaizen blitz)

cause/effect diagrams

OEE

takt time

process mapping

problem solving

run charts

standard procedures

current reality tree

Competitive systems and practices should be interpreted so as to take into account:

the stage of implementation of competitive systems and practices

the size of the enterprise

the work organisation, culture, regulatory environment and the industry sector

Team

Team may include:

work teams from all sections of the organisation including production, maintenance, technical, administration/finance and sales/marketing

a formally designated team or a group of employees in a common work area

Proactive maintenance strategies and associated analyses

Proactive maintenance strategy and associated analyses may include:

TPM and RCM

root cause analysis (RCA)

mean time between failures (MTBF)

failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA)

condition monitoring

TPM

TPM is an application of total quality management to maintenance with the intention of increasing reliability, getting it right first time and increasing OEE

RCM

RCM moves maintenance from reactive, or even planned/programmed, towards a focus on uptime and OEE

OEE

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 the losses due to rejects, reworks and start-up waste

MTBF

MTBF is one key measure of the effectiveness of a maintenance procedure, and is an indicator as to whether root causes are being found and resolved. If MTBF is reducing, then it is an indicator that the maintenance regime is failing

FMEA

FMEA is a systematic approach that identifies potential failure modes in a system, product, or operations/assembly operation caused by either design or operations/assembly process deficiencies. It also identifies critical or significant design or process characteristics that require special controls to prevent or detect failure modes. FMEA is a tool used to prevent problems from occurring.

Some industry sectors have highly adapted forms of FMEA and may practice traditional FMEA in say their routine maintenance while using another technique, such as Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOP) for design and modification.

HAZOP is a form of FMEA which has been practiced by the process industries for over 30 years and examines the implications of changes in process conditions to process stability.

Condition monitoring

Condition monitoring often involves quite sophisticated monitoring of equipment, including such things as:

vibration monitoring

instrumental analysis of lubricating oil, and so on, to determine the current state of the equipment, monitor the change in this condition, and predict when it needs servicing/maintenance to maintain reliability

For this unit an awareness level only of condition monitoring and its implications for team operations is required.
