Unit of Competency | MSS014003A - Optimise sustainability of a process or plant area |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit of competency covers optimising the sustainability performance of a complete work area in a plant or part of the manufacturing value chain. It includes ensuring that production systems comply with sustainability and other environmental requirements and that optimal process, plant and equipment utilisation is planned and carried out. It also covers problem solving to fully meet sustainability needs and to ensure that production of finished goods meets customer requirements. | ||
Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit applies inside organisations and their value chains. The unit has been developed with manufacturing operations as a focus especially work areas that process materials or components to manufacture products. However, because of the range of organisations in a typical manufacturing value chain it may also be applied to other types of organisations. The unit scope includes products made, services offered, and use of sites by an organisation or manufacturing value chain member (e.g. supplier of goods or services or a customer). This unit describes the work conducted by senior operators, technicians, team leaders or frontline managers and other support staff who optimise process systems as part of their work function. The unit includes all items of equipment and unit operations which form part of the process of a complete area and assumes that the required production, technical, science or other operational skills and knowledge necessary to work in the process or work area have already been gained. All operations are performed in accordance with organisational procedures, licensing requirements, legislative requirements and industrial awards and agreements.Environmental sensitivities referred to in this unit are at the issue level. The technical measurement of operational performance or measurement of emissions or other environmental impact is not covered by this unit. | ||
