Work order is to include: | instructions for the receipt/despatch and laminating or veneering of board surfaces to/from the designated storage location or processing and may include: type size thickness quantity instructions for the environmental monitoring of work and procedures environmental care requirements relevant to the work |
Appropriate personnel may include: | supervisors suppliers clients colleagues managers |
Board may include: | medium density fibreboard chipboard fibreboard plywood other manufactured board products |
Equipment is to include: | laminate and veneer bonding machines ancillary equipment with glue spreading stations heat rollers and may include: accumulators for continuous operation lifting equipment |
Production process is to include: | the glue mix used to bond sheets of veneer or laminate to varying types of board including panel size, panel thickness, laminate or veneer type, glue application and finishing processes and may include: the process of trimming laminate or veneer to a square edge or bevel |
Communication may include: | verbal and non-verbal language constructive feedback active listening questioning to clarify and confirm understanding use of positive, confident and cooperative language use of language and concepts appropriate to individual social and cultural differences control of tone of voice body language |
