Plan and coordinate panel painting

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to manage operational logistics for the roller coating, curtain coating and spray painting lines.

The unit applies to production operators and technicians who plan and coordinate panel painting in a forest and wood products setting and also involves monitoring and evaluating processes and problems to determine improvements.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

control measures to minimise waste of paint and additives

methods used to:

assess painting processes for quality of outcomes

diagnose and analyse systematic problems with plant, equipment, paints and panels

format, content and use of:

painting schedules

process improvement reports

organisational procedures specific to planning and coordinating panel painting operations:

communication reporting lines for paint operator team members and self

documenting painting schedules and reports

recording and reporting systematic equipment faults.

The following resources must be made available:

computers, keyboards, printers and software used to prepare planning and production documents

painting production lines

personal protective equipment suitable for coordinating painting lines

panels which must include at least one of the following:

medium density fibreboard

chipboard

relevant personnel for the purposes of communicating information

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting. Painting operations must be present in order that the individual can monitor, assess and modify schedules in response to changing circumstances.

Assessor requirements

Assessors must:

hold the appropriate assessor competency standards as outlined in regulations; and

be able to demonstrate vocational competencies at least to the level being assessed; and

be able to demonstrate how they are continuing to develop their VET knowledge and skills as well as maintaining their industry currency and assessor competence.
