Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare for changeover
   • Timing of changeover is determined according to production schedule
   • All required tools/parts/materials are obtained for changeover
   • Process and tools/parts/materials are organised ready for changeover
   • Liaison with relevant people is conducted for quick changeover
2. Make quick changeover
   • Quick changeover is planned according to quick changeover principles
   • Changeover is completed according to enterprise procedures
   • Output is checked to meet specifications
   • Any steps which cause a problem are noted and changes recommended to problematic steps
3. Improve work health and safety (WHS)
   • Hazards in all steps/actions are identified
   • Risks from each hazard are determined
   • Actions which may be performed in a more ergonomic manner are identified
   • Changes are recommended to improve WHS

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

plan a changeover including scheduling, organising tools, parts and materials, and liaising with required people

complete a changeover according to quick changeover procedures

identify hazards during all steps of changeover, determine risks, and recommend changes to improve health and safety.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

explain principles of a quick changeover

identify relevant procedures

explain purposes/requirements of changeover

describe how to recommend WHS or changover improvements

explain how to check that output meets quality requirements

outline the process for minimisation of changeover scrap

summarise work health and safety (WHS) requirements for completing changeovers.
