Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to coordinate and facilitate significant manufacturing operations where the coordination role involves application of engineering skills and knowledge to ensure safe, effective and efficient manufacturing. Operations may include specific engineering-related tasks, such as installation and commissioning of plant, design of equipment and major overhauls.Where coordination skills for time-defined engineering projects are required, unit MEM22013 Coordinate engineering projects should be selected.Where the planning, scheduling and purchasing is done in an engineering or manufacturing organisation following lean principles, appropriate competitive systems and practices units of competency should also be selected.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
