Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to evaluate continuous improvement processes for production, engineering and associated services. It requires the evaluation of improvement processes, and the efficiency and effectiveness of their response, to continuous feedback from customers and other sources along with consideration of the effect of improvements or change on entire systems.It applies to production and engineering activities where continuous improvements including those to product, process or service, efficiency or competitiveness, is required. It is suitable for people working as service providers, supervisors or technicians and those pursuing manufacturing, engineering or related technical qualifications and careers.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
