This unit applies to employees responsible for oversight of the supply chain for large steel items on major fabrication projects such as construction of oil refineries, power stations and ship building. The unit applies to individuals working alone or as part of a multi-disciplinary team. The unit scope includes reviewing the design and construction schedule, developing and managing a steel storage plan, manage steel receival and storage, and manage steel stock preparation prior to use. Skills related to this unit are normally applied by interpreting design, scheduling and fabrication-related software for relevant information. The unit can apply to a prototyping stage where steel supply, storage and preparation processes are being tested and to the management of these processes during later fabrication and assembly stages. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
