Dock boards using computer programmed machinery

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to dock boards using computer programmed machinery, in accordance with regulations and workplace procedures and specifications as part of pallet manufacturing processes in the transport and logistics industry.

It includes preparing and operating computer-programmed machinery to dock boards to specifications, monitoring and rectifying processing operations as required, and completing operations in accordance with workplace requirements.

Work is generally performed under some supervision, within a team/group environment.

No licensing, legislative 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)
