Assessment tool

Issue Date: May 2024
In a typical scenario, the employee works in an organisation which is applying competitive manufacturing strategies. This involves the operator in "owning" their process, taking responsibility for it, undertaking basic root cause analysis of problems and generally contributing to increasing the up time and general overall equipment efficiency (OEE). This competency comes from the Competitive Manufacturing Initiative group of competency standards.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to contribute to an advanced maintenance strategy; competitive manufacturers rely on the use of root cause analysis (RCA) by all personnel.
