Monitor the performance and condition of the Tram vehicle assets, components, equipment and systems
Overview
This standard is about monitoring the performance and condition of the Tram vehicle assets, components, equipment and systems. You will be required to select the necessary monitoring equipment to use, based on the type of Tram vehicle asset, component, equipment or system being monitored and the performance or condition you have to monitor. You will then use this equipment to undertake diagnostic condition monitoring on a range of Tram vehicle assets, components, equipment and systems such as mechanical, electrical, electronic, hydraulic, pneumatic, systematic, fixtures and fittings. You will then be able to analyse and interpret the performance and condition information and present recommendations on the required actions to be taken.
Your responsibilities will require you to comply with organisational policy and procedures for the monitoring activities undertaken, and to report any identified problems with the diagnostic equipment or monitoring activities that you cannot resolve, or that are outside the limits of your own authority, in accordance with organisational procedures. You will be expected to work with minimal supervision, taking personal responsibility for your own actions, and for the quality and accuracy of the work that you undertake.
This standard is for those who work in the Tram engineering environment at supervisor/technician level.
Performance criteria
You must be able to:
P1 confirm you are wearing the correct PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) and following the relevant health and safety procedures
P2 interpret and analyse the received information required for the monitoring activity
P3 set up the equipment required for the monitoring being undertaken following organisational procedures
P4 take precautions to prevent damage to surrounding components, equipment and systems during monitoring activities
P5 undertake monitoring activities with the minimum disruption to routine activities
P6 analyse and interpret the outcomes of the monitoring activities
P7 present recommendations for the required actions to be taken in accordance with organisational procedures
P8 complete monitoring records in line with your organisation's procedures
Knowledge and Understanding
You need to know and understand:
