Modification History
New unit, superseding MSACMT482A Assist in implementing a proactive maintenance strategy - Equivalent
Unit Descriptor
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required by a maintenance person to assist in the implementation of a proactive maintenance strategy in an organisation. This unit includes the interaction between a maintenance worker and operators, as appropriate.
Application of the Unit
This unit applies to a maintenance person in an organisation that has adopted or is implementing total preventative/productive maintenance (TPM), reliability centred maintenance (RCM) or similar strategies. As part of this, the maintenance person is expected to assist in the implementation by determining appropriate maintenance related schedules and also by providing maintenance related assistance to non-maintenance personnel, such as assisting production personnel to fulfil their role in the TPM/RCM strategy.
This unit requires the application of skills associated with problem solving and initiative and enterprise in order to analyse maintenance requirements. Communication, teamwork and planning and organising skills will be required to implement reliability strategies. This requires aspects of self-management to ensure improvement of own performance and learning.

Required Skills and Knowledge
This section describes the skills and knowledge required for this unit. |
Required skills |
Required skills include:
|
Required knowledge |
Required knowledge includes:
|
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:
|
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:
|
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:
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. |
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:
Competitive systems and practices should be interpreted so as to take into account:
|
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 |
Similar strategies |
Similar strategies may include:
|
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:
|
Uptime |
Uptime refers to the overall availability of the plant (it is the inverse of downtime) or the unavailability of the plant. Ideal uptime is 100% |
Inspection |
Inspection may include:
|
Servicing |
Servicing may include:
|
Procedures |
Procedures may include:
Procedures may be:
