Unit of Competency FWPCOR6202 - Implement practices to maximise value from wood residues
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to evaluate and implement effective wood management practices that ensure maximum product value recovery and adherence to environmentally sustainable principles. It can apply to the full scope of forest and wood products industry workplaces and to operations of all sizes. The unit applies to job roles including Designer (Manufacturing and Engineered Wood Products), Environmental Planner and Manager, Forest Planner, Forest Sustainability Manager, Forestry Manager, General Manager, Plantation Manager, Sustainability Manager, Technical Forester, Technical Services Manager and Value Recovery Officer.No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

The following resources must be made available:

Computers, keyboards, printers and software used to prepare budgets and document plans.

Comprehensive information about the operation of a real or simulated business to determine value maximisation practices.

Documents and proformas commonly used to plan, implement, review and improve value maximisation practices, including:

worksheets

budgets

policies and procedures

value maximisation plans.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

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.
