MARB036 — Implement vessel planned maintenance system

1 Develop maintenance plan

• 1.1Vessel and equipment specifications, service requirements and workplace procedures are checked for recommended maintenance intervals and processes according to the safety management system (SMS)
• 1.2Special requirements for maintenance are separated from routine maintenance tasks
• 1.3Maintenance plan and a related work schedule are developed
• 1.4Procedures for safety checks of equipment are developed and documented according to workplace procedures
• 1.5Recordkeeping system is developed for maintenance work completed and equipment replaced according to workplace procedures

2 Establish maintenance systems

• 2.1Resource requirements are identified and supplied
• 2.2Roles and responsibilities of crew are clarified and built into position descriptions and work instructions
• 2.3Mentoring and training is provided to support the maintenance strategy
• 2.4Maintenance procedures and schedules are prepared to minimise negative impacts on vessel operations, costs, waste and the environment
• 2.5Potential risks are analysed and management strategies are recommended
• 2.6Contingency plans are prepared
• 2.7Maintenance schedules and procedures are effectively communicated to crew

3 Implement maintenance plan

• 3.1Consumables and equipment are coordinated to meet maintenance work schedule
• 3.2Maintenance work schedule is completed according to maintenance plan
• 3.3Technical assistance is provided to crew in completing maintenance activities, as required
• 3.4Appropriate readings, measurements and recordings are made and compared to equipment and other relevant specifications
• 3.5Areas of vessel and equipment requiring further testing are identified and appropriate procedures for testing are implemented
• 3.6Appropriate adjustments are made to maintenance plan based on experience and required documentation is completed
• 3.7Maintenance records are completed and forwarded to appropriate personnel
• 3.8Areas where changes to equipment operation or routine maintenance are required to maintain optimum work output and equipment life, are noted

4 Monitor and review maintenance management system

• 4.1Continuous improvement strategies are developed
• 4.2Performance criteria for maintenance goals are determined and data collection strategies are established
• 4.3Performance information and outcomes are analysed and implications are reported to appropriate personnel

What does an assessment tool for MARB036 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MARB036 needs to address all 51 unit components: 4 elements with 23 performance criteria, 13 performance evidence requirements, 15 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for MARB036?

Auditori pulls the current release of MARB036 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for MARB036 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MARB036 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of MARB036, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
