List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. | Perform spares assessment activities | 1.1 | Enterprise spares assessment and supply information systems are identified and applied |
| | 1.2 | Maintenance data, spares usage data and trends are monitored and required holdings of spares are varied as required |
| | 1.3 | Spares availability problems are identified and strategies are determined to resolve the problems |
| | 1.4 | Where applicable, suitable substitute parts are identified and necessary engineering approvals obtained in accordance with applicable regulations, and organisational policies and procedures |
| | 1.5 | Acceptable sources of substitute parts are identified and requirements for documentation, such as certification reports and release notes, are specified in accordance with regulatory requirements, and organisational policies and procedures |
| | 1.6 | Configuration management (CM) requirements are observed in spares assessing |
| | 1.7 | Data required for input to ILS records is provided where applicable |
2. | Manage repairable items | 2.1 | Maintenance and reliability data is monitored and changes to maintenance programs are proposed where necessary |
| | 2.2 | Documentation is raised to allocate repairable items to maintenance facilities in accordance with contractual requirements, and organisational policies and procedures |
| | 2.3 | Any specific investigation or additional maintenance requirements are specified |
| | 2.4 | Data required for input to ILS records is provided where applicable |
Evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria under the specified conditions of assessment on at least one occasion, and must include:
using software packages relevant to spares assessing and repairable item management
oral communication
written communication
problem solving
application of regulatory and procedural requirements
identification and resolution of problems relating to availability of spares.
Evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:
ILS principles relating to spares assessing, repairable item management and CM
software packages used by the enterprise for spares assessment, supply management and repairable item management
use of drawings, standards and specifications to identify substitute piece parts and materials
use of catalogues and specifications to identify substitute components (items of aeronautical product)
regulations, organisational policies and procedures relating to spares assessment and repairable item management
work health and safety (WHS) requirements relating to substitute piece parts, materials and components
fraud and ethics.
This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is, the candidate is not in productive work an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations encountered in spares assessment and management of repairable items, especially in relation to component or piece-part substitution.
The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required and must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.
Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. The preferred method is the records in the Maintenance Management Competency Log. Where the individual does not have a Competency Log evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways, including direct observation, supervisor’s reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency.
Assessors must satisfy the requirements of the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (Australian Skills Quality Authority, or its successors).
