Unit of Competency PPMDEO210 - Monitor and control dry end operations
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to monitor and maintain dry end operations, ensure product quality, complete product grade changes and record and report production data. This unit applies to production support workers who work in a pulp or paper manufacturing facility in the dry end area. This typically involves working in a facility with complex integrated equipment and continuous operations.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:

access to the full range of tools and equipment involved in integrated continuous manufacturing of dry end operations in a pulp or paper manufacturing facility

electronic control systems including Digital Control System (DCS), touch screens or robotics required for dry end operation

materials used in dry end processes including chemicals, compressed air, water, electricity, gas, steam, additives, machine clothing and ropes and belts

sample workplace documentation on work health and safety (WHS) procedures, risks and hazards identification procedures, environmental and safe working requirements/practices, SOP and housekeeping requirements

maintenance tools and equipment and consumables for dry end plant

personal protective equipment suitable for operating dry end plant

maintenance schedules for dry end plant

documents and proformas for recording system operation and production outcomes

organisational workplace health and safety and standard operating procedures

relevant personnel for the purposes of communicating 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.
