Description
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to plan and coordinate maintenance of production equipment.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Identify maintenance requirements
- 1.1. The approach to maintaining production equipment is identified
- 1.2. Advice on equipment maintenance requirements is identified and assessed
- 1.3. Special maintenance requirements are assessed and prioritised
2. Plan maintenance
- 2.1. Resources required to carry out maintenance are identified and secured
- 2.2. A maintenance schedule is developed to provide reliable equipment performance with minimal disruption to production
- 2.3. The maintenance schedule takes account of production schedules, equipment capability, special maintenance requirements and efficient resource utilisation and workplace environmental guidelines
- 2.4. The maintenance schedule is recorded in the appropriate workplace format
- 2.5. Responsibilities for implementing the maintenance schedule are defined and communicated
- 2.6. Work areas and personnel affected by the maintenance program are consulted and advised of maintenance progress
3. Monitor implementation of the maintenance schedule
- 3.1. Progress of maintenance is monitored to identify variance to schedule
- 3.2. Unplanned events that could affect the schedule are identified, assessed and addressed
- 3.3. Potential failure to meet maintenance deadlines are identified and communicated to relevant personnel in a timely manner
4. Contribute to the improvement of equipment reliability
- 4.1. Equipment performance information is reviewed to identify patterns or trends
- 4.2. Factors that affect equipment reliability are identified
- 4.3. Production and maintenance personnel are consulted to identify opportunities to improve equipment reliability
- 4.4. Action is taken to improve equipment reliability
- 4.5. The maintenance schedule and related programs and procedures are reviewed to reflect improvements
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.
Maintenance scheduling and work practices
Maintenance scheduling and work practices are consistent with company policies and procedures, regulatory and licensing requirements, legislative requirements, and industrial awards and agreements and takes account of OHS and environmental impact of scheduling arrangements
Sources of information
Typical sources of information include
manufacturers' specifications
equipment capability data
condition monitoring data
equipment operation/performance reports and log sheets
workplace environmental guidelines
Scheduling
Scheduling may involve:
the use of planning and systems control software, such as SAP and MRPII
Maintenance schedules
Maintenance schedules may relate to:
lubrication schedules
service schedules and major cleaning where cleaning requires equipment dismantling or strip down
Coordination
Coordination may involve:
the management of contracts with external maintenance service providers and/or internal maintenance personnel

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.
Overview of assessment
Assessment must be carried out in a manner that recognises the cultural and literacy requirements of the assessee and is appropriate to the work performed. Competence in this unit must be achieved in accordance with food safety standards and regulations.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of ability to:
determine maintenance requirements for work area
establish and document maintenance schedule
coordinate implementation of maintenance
ensure maintenance schedule is communicated and reported to all appropriate personnel
manage unplanned maintenance issues
assess equipment reliability and contribute to improving outcomes.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must occur in a real or simulated workplace where the assessee has access to:
maintenance scheduling system and associated information and communication systems
production equipment
relevant standard operating procedures (SOPs)
workplace information recording systems, requirements and procedures.
Method of assessment
This unit should be assessed together with core units and other units of competency relevant to the function or work role. In addition, the following optional or ancillary units may be relevant:
FDFPPL4003A Schedule and manage production
FDFPPL4006A Manage a work area within budget
BSBRES401A Analyse and present research information.
Guidance information for assessment
To ensure consistency in one's performance, competency should be demonstrated on more than one occasion over a period of time in order to cover a variety of circumstances, cases and responsibilities, and where possible, over a number of assessment activities.
