Description
This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to manage operational logistics for panel machining activities which includes planning cutting patterns and schedules for operators.The unit applies to production operators and technicians who plan and coordinate machining of panels in a forest and wood products factory and also involves monitoring and evaluating processes and problems to determine and recommend improvements.No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Plan machining operations
  • 1.1 Interpret production orders and plan production of panel types and sizes.
  • 1.2 Develop panel machining schedules to ensure optimum production outcomes.
  • 1.3 Plan and document cutting patterns to maximise output and minimise wastage.
  • 1.4 Communicate all information to operators in line with organisational procedures
2. Coordinate panel cutting operations
  • 2.1 Identify and record variations in panel condition and report to operators.
  • 2.2 Assist operators to resolve machining problems.
  • 2.3 Monitor panel cutting processes; assess effectiveness of cutting pattern and ability to maintain schedule.
  • 2.4 Modify cutting patterns and schedules to ensure optimum performance and communicate changes to operators.
  • 2.5 Ensure machined panels are directed to designated area for storage or transferred for further processing.
  • 2.6 Direct processes for rejecting and disposing of sub-standard machined panels and off-cuts in line with organisational safety procedures and environmental protection practices.
  • 2.7 Complete and maintain operating logs and cutting records in line with organisational procedures.
  • 2.8 Investigate and record major processing and equipment faults and resolve or report to appropriate personnel.
3. Evaluate machining performance
  • 3.1 Monitor and evaluate panel cutting operations and output to determine process improvements.
  • 3.2 Analyse systematic problems with equipment and panel quality for potential to improve machining processes.
  • 3.3 Document recommended process improvements and communicate to appropriate personnel in line with organisational procedures.
