Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to plan production of panels including forming boards, laminating boards and applying laminates or veneers to board. It also includes coordinating and monitoring the panel production process and output.The unit applies to production supervisors who plan and coordinate panel production in a forest and wood products factory setting.Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit in some states and territories at the time of publication, and may differ according to jurisdiction.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

The following resources must be made available:

panel production schedule

safe work procedure for planning and coordinating panel production

personal protective equipment required for planning and coordinating panel production

panels

production process equipment

relevant personnel for the purposes of communicating information

manual or computer-based information recording systems for recording production, quality and fault information.

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.

  • Monitor panel production for effective forming, laminating or veneering outcomes and panel condition.
  • Assist operators to evaluate panels, identify faults and rectify production problems.
  • Develop processes for rejecting and disposing of sub-standard panels produced in line with site procedures and environmental requirements.
  • Monitor panel production and output management and record possible process improvements.
       
Element: Coordinate panel production and record information.
  • Modify production methods or schedules as required, to ensure optimum performance.
  • Communicate to operators and record production improvement modifications in line with site procedures.
  • Direct produced panels to storage or transfer for further processing.
  • Record and report panel production data, output data, quality data and equipment faults in line with record keeping procedure and site requirements.
