Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to develop and apply a proactive maintenance strategy for continuous manufacturing processes. This unit applies to an individual who is required to interpret a proactive maintenance strategy and adapt it to continuous operations, factoring in start-up, shutdown and isolation considerations and hazard and/or major hazard facility requirements. This unit applies to any organisation seeking to improve the efficiency and reliability of equipment in continuous manufacturing, for example, processing chemicals and hydrocarbons, oil refining, smelting and cement manufacture. No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
