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 | Define sustainability issues for work area | 1.1 | Identify sustainability goals of enterprise as they relate to work area. |
| 1.2 | Identify actual or possible sustainability issues in work area. |
| 1.3 | Determine current maintenance strategy for work area. |
| 1.4 | Identify changes to maintenance strategy which may improve sustainability outcomes. |
| 1.5 | Consult with stakeholders with regard to sustainability issues and possible maintenance changes. |
|
2 | Assess current maintenance practice for sustainability implications | 2.1 | Evaluate current maintenance procedures for plant/equipment sustainability implications. |
| 2.2 | Discuss current maintenance practices with relevant stakeholders to determine any plant/equipment sustainability issues. |
| 2.3 | Recommend changes to improve plant/equipment sustainability impact in accordance with procedures. |
|
3 | Implement the sustainable maintenance strategy and practices for the work area | 3.1 | Arrange for changes to be incorporated into procedures and work plans. |
| 3.2 | Identify training needs in liaison with relevant personnel. |
| 3.3 | Assist personnel to develop required competencies within scope of authority. |
| 3.4 | Collect data as required by own work plan. |
| 3.5 | Develop required information and compare with performance indicators. |
| 3.6 | Recommend sustainability improvements in accordance with procedures. |
| 3.7 | Monitor implementation of improvements and recommend any further required changes. |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include the ability, for one or more work area, to:
identify key features of maintenance strategies, including breakdown maintenance, TPM, RCM and OEE
identify current maintenance strategies and practices in a work area
analyse work area maintenance strategies and practices for sustainability related implications
develop and implement sustainability improvements.
Must provide evidence that demonstrates knowledge relevant to their job role sufficient to fulfil their job role independently, including:
requirements of the proactive maintenance strategy being implemented
principles of operation of the equipment/plant
likely abilities of operations personnel with regard to inspections and servicing
maintenance procedures relevant to jobs, equipment and processes
methods of making/recommending improvements
environmental impacts of materials and energy used/emitted
environmental sensitivities of all areas impacted by the work/process area (and related areas where impact spreads beyond immediate area, e.g. by loss of containment)
root cause analysis and problem solving
mitigation strategies as relevant to work/process area
sustainability issues relevant to the work/process area.
The unit should be assessed holistically and the judgement of competence shall be based on a holistic assessment of the evidence.
The collection of performance evidence is best done from a report and/or folio of evidence drawn from:
a single project which provides sufficient evidence of the requirements of all the elements and performance criteria
multiple smaller projects which together provide sufficient evidence of the requirements of all the elements and performance criteria.
A third party report, or similar, may be needed to testify to the work done by the individual, particularly when the project has been done as part of a project team.
Assessment should use a real project where a proactive maintenance strategy is applied to improve the sustainability outcomes in an operational workplace.
Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence or through an independent process such as workbooks, written assessments or interviews (provided a record is kept).
Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately.
Assessors must satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment as set by the VET regulator.
The assessor must demonstrate both technical competency and currency.
Technical competence can be demonstrated through:
relevant VET or other qualification/Statement of Attainment AND/OR
relevant workplace experience
Currency can be demonstrated through:
performing the competency being assessed as part of current employment OR
having consulted with an organisation providing relevant environmental monitoring, management or technology services about performing the competency being assessed within the last twelve months.
