1. Level 2 Unit 7 Applications of Maintenance Techniques in Engineering Engineering Diploma Level 2 Unit 7 Application of Maintenance Techniques in Engineering An Approach to Unit Delivery and Assessment

2. Level 2 Unit 7 Applications of Maintenance Techniques in Engineering Next > Approach given here is formed by following the awarding bodies: Learning outcomes Assessment tasks Types of maintenance – for products, plant or equipment and use of statistical trends (LO.1) Maintenance tasks – devise procedures and carry out routine maintenance, including service and adjustments (LO.2) Poor maintenance – implications if equipment is not properly maintained and consequences of not maintaining optimum stock levels of spares (LO.3) Learning outcomes: L2 U7 Application of Maintenance Techniques in Engineering: Risk assessment – for engineering maintenance tasks (LO.4)

3. Level 2 Unit 7 Applications of Maintenance Techniques in Engineering Maintenance and servicing of vehicles based partly around the ST390 Automotive Technology module Engineering theme: The Automotive Technology module covers: Lubrication Fault finding Routine maintenance Vehicle systems The activities in the module are used for acquiring knowledge and skills during unit delivery Next > The panel trainer and simulator have a system for putting faults into a car model

4. Level 2 Unit 7 Applications of Maintenance Techniques in Engineering Assessment Task 1 – Types of maintenance Part 1: Write a short report describing two types of maintenance, explaining where they are used. Justify why one type is appropriate for the selected product The assessment task asks students to base their report on motor vehicles Part 2: Given some statistical data on failure, analyse the trend, calculate mean-time-time-to- failure and describe how the data can be used to predict reliability Statistical data is provided on hard disk drive failures Next >

5. Level 2 Unit 7 Applications of Maintenance Techniques in Engineering Next > Assessment Task 2 – Routine maintenance For a given maintenance procedure, replace a part, make two adjustments and carry out a diagnostic check to see if further maintenance is necessary The assessment task requires the student to check the condition of ignition leads and spark plugs on a motor vehicle and replace as necessary Describe two problems that may occur if the product is not properly maintained Explain and justify how the impact of these problems could be reduced The assessment task asks students to base their answers on motor vehicles Workshop job sheets are provided for the maintenance procedure and a PowerPoint presentation for underpinning knowledge

6. Level 2 Unit 7 Applications of Maintenance Techniques in Engineering Assessment Task 3 – Risk assessments and maintenance procedures Next > For given documentation on a maintenance requirement, carry out a risk assessment, devise a maintenance procedure, and identifying the replacement parts The student requires documentation for them to base their maintenance procedure on changing the oil and oil filter of a motor vehicle Describe what would happen if stock levels were not maintained, and use a statistical method that shows the appropriate stock level required They will need from the vehicle handbook / vehicle specification: Note, the procedure does not have to be carried out Oil type and grade, engine volume Oil filter type and replacement intervals

7. Level 2 Unit 7 Applications of Maintenance Techniques in Engineering Next > Delivery and assessment approach: An example scheme of work is provided that enables students to acquire the knowledge and skills to complete the assessed tasks The scheme states students should work through assignments 1 to 10 & 12 of the Automotive Technology module The scheme of work also refers to other sources: Student textbook Internet sites Ideas for visits LJ support documents

8. Level 2 Unit 7 Applications of Maintenance Techniques in Engineering Assessment tasks are provided The student is to collect evidence during the assessed tasks, by producing: Maintenance reports Risk assessment Maintenance schedule Maintenance procedure Evaluation report System photographs Delivery and assessment approach: LJ support documents include: Risk assessment – examples and a template Workshop safety and service information PowerPoint presentations Example maintenance schedules and procedures End >
