KS 4 Sample Synoptic Assignment Level 2 Technical Award You are part of a maintenance team working for a multinational food manufacturing company. The maintenance team carry out a range of planned maintenance work on different types of equipment. The company has a lean culture and so any maintenance task requires engineers to: • review processes, documentation and data • carry out any unplanned maintenance identified through planned maintenance activities • keep visual records of maintenance activities. The production manager has reported a drop in production output. Data shows this is caused by issues related to a conveyor motor. The motor has been used for many years and drives the conveyor which transfers the finished product to the packaging process. Data related to the use of this motor has been produced. You are to carry out the annual service on a three-phase motor and review the data to determine when it should be replaced. You will be provided with the appropriate maintenance information and documentation needed to carry out and record the maintenance activities.
