Plan engineering activities in the Tram and Tramway environment

URN: UKTTE15
Business Sectors (Suites): Tram Engineering
Developed by: UK Tram
Approved on: 2021

Overview

This standard is about planning engineering activities in the Tram and Tramway environment.  It is about being able to access the relevant information regarding the activities to be undertaken and determine the resources required. You will know the type and range of plans to be produced and will ensure that the information gathered is relevant to the work to be carried out.  You will be able to take into account the activities to be undertaken and the limitations of the work environment.  The complexity of the plan will depend on the nature or size of the activity to be undertaken.  You will know and understand how to prioritise activities and how to adapt and change plans when objectives cannot be achieved.

This standard is for those who work as a technician or supervisor in the engineering or construction Tram and Tramway environment.


Performance criteria

You must be able to:

P1        identify and analyse the relevant information required for the engineering activity

P2        identify the relevant health and safety procedures that must be followed

P3        confirm the engineering activities to be carried out and determine their sequence

P4        establish the methods and techniques required to complete the engineering activities

P5        identify and confirm the resources required

P6        identify when resources are not available and deal with the deficiency in line with organisational procedures

P7        confirm the timescales required for the engineering activity

P8        prepare a work plan that meets organisational requirements and procedures

P9        confirm alternative solutions where planned engineering activities cannot be achieved in line with organisational procedures


Knowledge and Understanding

You need to know and understand:

K1        the importance of planning engineering activities that follow the relevant Health and safety procedures approved by your organisation K2        the types of resources that can be used during engineering activates in the Tram and Tramway environment K3        how to allocate and confirm resources within your own area of responsibility K4        the different **types of engineering plans** required for engineering activities in the Tram and Tramway environment K5        the relevant **methods and techniques** that can be used when planning engineering activities in the Tram and Tramway environment K6        how to **prepare** a plan that meets organisational procedures K7        how to prioritise engineering activities to achieve the **objectives** of the engineering plan K8        the circumstances when planned engineering activities cannot be achieved K9        how to adapt and change plans when engineering activities cannot be achieved in line with organisational procedures
