Description
This unit covers the knowledge and skills needed by a person who leads a production or maintenance team in a proactive maintenance environment.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Lead team in monitoring process and equipment.
- 1.1. Demonstrate to team how to observe the process/equipment continuously and critically using appropriate senses (sight, hearing etc) to identify any potential or actual problems1.2. Identify to team data indicators that must be monitored and recorded1.3. Ensure team monitors identified data indicators frequently and critically1.4. Ensure symptoms of operations outside the desired range of conditions and performance are recognised1.5. Analyse cause of equipment non standard performance within scope of knowledge and skill1.6. Ensure team members take timely and appropriate action to solve problem or to refer problem to appropriate manager or specialist
2. Apply proactive maintenance strategy.
- 2.1. Obtain and discuss maintenance strategy with relevant people2.2. Identify aspects of maintenance strategy which require specific input from team2.3. Discuss maintenance strategy with team members2.4. Ensure team members have resources and training to be able to make the required contributions
3. Analyse standard procedures and work practices.
- 3.1. Examine team procedures and practices for compatibility with maintenance strategy3.2. Identify areas where production procedures/practices should be changed to comply with maintenance strategy3.3. Identify areas where maintenance strategy should change to comply with production procedures and practices3.4. Identify other activities or areas where changes might increase equipment reliability3.5. Take appropriate action to have the required changes made
4. Facilitate team contribution to proactive maintenance.
- 4.1. Monitor team's contribution to proactive maintenance4.2. Arrange for competency development of team members as required4.3. Facilitate ongoing examination by the team of process reliability and overall equipment efficiency (OEE)4.4. Arrange for follow through and implementation of team originated improvements
lean manufacturing
agile manufacturing
preventative and predictive maintenance approaches
monitoring and data gathering systems such as Systems control and data acquisition software (SCADA), enterprise resource planning systems (ERP), Manufacturing resource planning (MRP), and proprietary systems such as SAP etc.
statistical process control systems including six sigma and three sigma
just in time, kanban and other pull related manufacturing control systems
supply, value, and demand chain monitoring and analysis
other continuous improvement systems.
Competitive manufacturing should be interpreted so as to take into account the stage of implementation of competitive manufacturing approaches, the enterprise's size and work organisation, culture, regulatory environment and manufacturing sector.
Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)
Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM)
Root Cause Analysis ( RCA)
Mean Time Between Failures (MBTF)
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
Condition monitoring
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 t losses due to rejects, reworks and start up waste

Overview of assessment requirements
The assessment should identify that a team leader is able to provide leadership to a team whose responsibilities include the implementation of a proactive maintenance strategy.
What critical aspects of evidence is required to demonstrate competency in this unit?
Evidence of leadership to a team in supporting a proactive maintenance strategy would be required.
In what context should assessment occur?
Assessment needs to occur in an organisation implementing a proactive maintenance strategy preferably through project based assessment.
Are there any other units which could or should be assessed with this unit or which relate directly to this unit?
This unit could be assessed concurrently with other leadership related units.
What method of assessment should apply?
Assessors must be satisfied that the person can consistently perform the unit as a whole, as defined by the elements, performance criteria, skills and knowledge. A holistic approach should be taken to the assessment.
Assessors should gather sufficient, fair, valid, reliable, authentic and current evidence from a range of sources. Sources of evidence may include direct observation, reports from supervisors, peers and colleagues, project work, samples, organisation records and questioning. Assessment should not require language, literacy or numeracy skills beyond those required for the unit.
The assessee will have access to all techniques, procedures, information, resources and aids which would normally be available in the workplace.
The method of assessment should be discussed and agreed with the assessee prior to the commencement of the assessment.
What evidence is required for demonstration of consistent performance?
Evidence from one significant change may be sufficient. For less significant changes, a range of changes will be needed to generate sufficient evidence.
What are the specific resource requirements for this unit?
Access to an organisation implementing a proactive maintenance strategy.
