Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to identify, monitor and participate in strategies to improve production efficiencies.This unit applies to all work environments and all operators across all functions, including experienced team leaders or supervisors, who are required to provide input into process improvement initiatives for a team or work area.This unit applies to a wide range of processes and equipment. In large plants with multiple processes, it may apply to more than one process if those processes interact with each other.No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must also be applied.
