Allocate and monitor resources for engineering activities in the Tram and Tramway environment
Overview
This standard identifies the competencies you need to allocate and monitor resources for engineering activities in the Tram and Tramway environment. You will be able to work to a plan to identify and allocate the resources required. You will source information regarding those resources, monitor their use and ensure there are sufficient resources available for the activities to be undertaken. You will be able to identify any issues or inaccuracies with the resources and ensure that the resources are used in a safe, appropriate and timely manner. Where changes in resources or activities occur, you will be able to deal with this in line with organisational procedures.
You will know and understand your responsibility for the care and use of resources and will be able to advise others accordingly. You will also know and understand the factors which may influence the allocation of resources such as environmental and site conditions.
This standard is for those who work in the Tram and Tramway engineering and construction environment at supervisor or technician level.
Performance criteria
You must be able to:
P1 identify the resources required for the completion of the relevant engineering activities in the Tram and Tramway environment
P2 confirm the relevant resource information and documentation is accurate and is in line with organisational requirements
P3 confirm the relevant resources comply with organisational safety and quality requirements
P4 allocate, monitor and record the use of resources in line with your organisation's requirements
P5 identify when changes to the planned use of resources are predicted or have occurred
P6 take action to deal with actual and predicted changes to the planned use of resources
P7 confirm all relevant records and reports are completed in line with your organisation's procedures
P8 report any identified problems in line with organisational procedures
Knowledge and Understanding
You need to know and understand:
K1 how to identify the resource requirements for engineering activities in the Tram and Tramway environment
K2 the relevant methods and techniques for resource planning and preparation in accordance with organisational procedures
K3 your organisation's procedures for the care and use of resources
K4 the types of problems that can occur when obtaining resources for engineering activities and how these problems can be overcome
