The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. |
Integrate maintenance fundamentals | Integrate maintenance fundamentals refers to situations where maintenance skills and knowledge must be applied across more than one engineering, system or application area to achieve a task objective |
Appropriate licensed technical and professional assistance | Appropriate licensed technical and professional assistance may include: technical support and advice relating to elements which have intrinsic dangers, such as: high pressure energised fluid vessels high temperatures and heat energy capacity wiring with high current control voltages above extra low voltage professional support for technologies, may include: specialist electric motor drives and controllers specialist materials, plastics, metal alloys and nano materials special processes, foundry, alloy welding, heat treatment, sealing and fastening |
WHS, regulatory requirements and enterprise procedures | WHS, regulatory requirements and enterprise procedures may include: WHS Acts and regulations relevant standards codes of practice from Australian and overseas engineering and technical associations and societies risk assessments registration requirements safe work practices state and territory regulatory requirements |
Systems thinking | Systems thinking refers to the conduct of engineering work in a manner that demonstrates knowledge of how the interaction of different technical systems on equipment, machinery or structures, as well as the skills and techniques of personnel, combine to perform or support engineering-related operations, processes or projects. It embraces determining or establishing how the function of each technical system or component, as well as the skills and techniques of personnel, effects or potentially may effect, outcomes. Systems should be interpreted broadly within the context of the organisation and depending on the project or operation can include equipment, related facilities, material, software, internal services and personnel, and other organisations in the value chain. |
Continuous improvement implementation | Continuous improvement implementation may relate to plant, products, processes, systems or services, including design, development, implementation or manufacture, commissioning, operation or delivery and maintenance. Improvement processes may include techniques, such as: balanced scorecard current and future state mapping measuring performance against benchmarks process improvement, problem solving and decision making data management, generation, recording, analysing, storing and use of software training for improvement systems participation technical training |
Constraints and contingencies | Constraints and contingencies may include: financial organisation procedural or culture physical constraints such as limits to resources, limits to site access or logistical limitations |
Maintenance system data | Maintenance system data may include: asset ID and plant warranties standard repair schemes modification data and configuration procedural documents: monitoring and preventative maintenance schedules safe work methods statements material safety data sheets (MSDS) work permits monitoring reports and system measurements maintenance actions and costs spares inventory control |
Standards and codes | Standards and codes refer to all relevant Australian and international standards and codes applicable to a particular engineering integration task |
Sustainability | Sustainability is used to mean the entire sustainable performance of the organisation/plant, including: meeting all regulatory requirements conforming to all industry covenants, protocols and best practice guides minimising ecological and environmental footprint of process, plant and product maximising economic benefit of process plant and product to the organisation and the community minimising the negative WHS impact on employees, community and customer |
