Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to systematically plan, design and problem solve within a metallurgical context.Planning, problem-solving and design should be implemented systematically within the context of market or customer requirements and the prevailing industrial environment in accordance with planning and design parameters including performance, financial, legal, resource and scheduling.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
