Knowledge Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate the required knowledge for this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

characteristics and strengths of different types of strategies including:

total productive and preventive maintenance

reliability-centred maintenance

characteristics and strengths of different types of techniques and tools including:

root cause analysis (RCA)

mean time between failures (MTBF)

failure modes effects analysis (FMEA)

condition monitoring not involving application of trade skills

principles of process equipment and how to improve its reliability

resources required and how to obtain them

hazard and control measures associated with using basic preventative maintenance techniques and tools, including housekeeping

safe work practices and procedures.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must:

have vocational competency in using basic preventative maintenance techniques and tools at least to the level being assessed with relevant industry knowledge and experience

satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 or its replacement and comply with the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011, its replacement or equivalent legislation covering VET regulation in a non-referring state/territory as the case requires.

Where possible, assessment must occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment that reflects realistic operational workplace conditions that cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.

Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications.

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