Elements and Performance Criteria
- Develop preventative and remedial maintenance plans for plant, tooling, equipment or systems
- Applicable organisational requirements relevant to the maintenance of plant, tooling, equipment or systems are verified and complied with throughout the work activity
- Instructions, plans and/or workplace check sheets are read and interpreted to identify processes and materials to complete work tasks
- Plant/tooling/equipment or system to be maintained is identified
- Preventative maintenance requirements are identified from manufacturer recommendations and an analysis of the operational performance and maintenance history of the actual, or similar, plant, tooling, equipment or systems is made
- Preventative maintenance plans, schedules and procedures are developed, based on the analysis of preventative maintenance requirements
- Documentation for periodic schedules of preventative maintenance are prepared
- Remedial maintenance plans for emergency breakdown situations are developed in cooperation with production and engineering staff and submitted for the approval of appropriate personnel
- Approved preventative and remedial maintenance plans are distributed to appropriate personnel
- Control and coordinate maintenance operations
- Relevant production and maintenance staff are made aware of approved preventative and remedial maintenance plans and are trained in the necessary procedures
- Preventative and remedial maintenance operations are monitored against the approved plans and corrective action taken where procedures are not being correctly followed
- Preventative and remedial maintenance plans and related documentation are reviewed periodically in conjunction with production and maintenance staff
- Reports and summaries of maintenance operations are prepared
- Conduct preventative maintenance procedures on plant, tooling, equipment or systems
- Preventative maintenance is conducted in conjunction with production staff in accordance with prescribed preventative maintenance policies and procedures
- Relevant parts of plant, tooling, equipment or systems are visually or physically checked for signs of deformation, wear, defects or damage
- Relevant parts of plant, tooling, equipment or systems are functionally checked for correct performance
- Identified requirements for adjustment, cleaning, repair, replacement, or modification of plant, tooling, equipment or systems are reported to appropriate personnel and action taken
- Patterns of maintenance requirements of the plant, tooling, equipment or systems identified during the course of routine preventative maintenance are reported and, where appropriate, recommendations made to appropriate personnel of suggested changes to preventative maintenance schedules and/or procedures
- Preventative maintenance activities and resultant action are documented
- Monitor performance of plant, tooling, equipment and systems
- Critical performance measures/observations of the operation of plant, tooling, equipment and/or systems are taken in conjunction with production staff and recorded
- Recorded performance measures/observations are compared against allowable tolerance levels and out-of-tolerance measures/observations, then noted and reported for further investigation
- Conduct adjustments to service of plant, tooling, equipment or systems
- Checks and adjustments are made to plant, tooling, equipment and/or systems
- Greasing, lubrication and other regular servicing of plant, tooling, equipment or systems is carried out to organisational or manufacturer requirements
- Adjustments and/or servicing of plant, tooling, equipment or systems are documented
- Document maintenance procedures and outcomes
- Routine, emergency and preventative maintenance activities are documented
- Performance measures, critical deviations from the norm and any follow-up action taken in respect of the operations of plant, tooling, equipment or systems are documented
- Defects, worn parts and equipment or malfunctioning plant, tooling, equipment or system detected during the course of maintenance and service activities are reported and any necessary action initiated
