Description
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to develop and apply a proactive maintenance strategy for continuous manufacturing processes which may also be major hazard facilities or similar.This unit applies to an individual in a continuous manufacturing sector, such as chemical, hydrocarbons and refining, smelting and cement, which is seeking to improve the efficiency and reliability of equipment. Typically such an organisation will also be engaged in implementing competitive systems and practices. As continuous manufacturers, such as the chemical, hydrocarbons and refining sectors, are often also major hazard facilities this will influence the proactive maintenance choices which need to be made. The unit covers the selection of appropriate strategies, techniques and tools and the adapting of them to the organisation’s needs. It also covers the application of the strategies to new areas and the improvement of operation in existing areas. This would typically be done in a team environment and in consultation with all key stakeholders.This unit requires the application of skills associated with problem solving, initiative, enterprise, planning and organising in order to adapt a proactive maintenance strategy to meet specific needs of the enterprise. This work is done in the context of using computer technology and also requires aspects of self-management and learning to ensure improvement of own performance.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
