Issue Date: June 2024
This unit applies in a competitive systems and practices organisation where proactive maintenance strategies, such as total preventative/productive maintenance (TPM) or reliability centred maintenance (RCM) are used. This unit applies to a team leader or other person who as part of their role assists others in implementing and following the proactive maintenance practices. Team refers to formally designated teams or a group of employees in a common work area.
The unit assumes that team members and in particular the team leader or other support person are in possession of technical knowledge appropriate to their position about the organisation’s operational processes and equipment and are able to apply this to the maintenance strategy.
The unit covers the leading of a team in proactive maintenance activities, such as keeping records, visual checks, analysis of failures and effects on production and housekeeping. The unit does not cover breakdown maintenance, condition monitoring or non-destructive testing (NDT).
This unit requires the application of skills associated with communication, teamwork, problem solving, initiative, enterprise, planning and organising in order to lead a team in the development and implementation of proactive maintenance strategies. This unit has a strong emphasis on developing and resourcing the team to interpret information and monitor equipment and operation.
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to lead a production team/work group or maintenance team in a proactive maintenance environment.
