Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to troubleshoot and optimise the production process. This unit focuses on systems analysis and design.It applies to individuals who perform a broad range of skilled tasks relating to the printing and graphic arts industry, and who may also provide leadership and guidance to others in the application and planning of the skills. They evaluate and recommend changes to the production process, and adjust and tune machinery to make efficiency gains.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Evaluate production for efficiency purposes
  • 1.1 Machine operations, staff and production process organisation are evaluated on an ongoing basis to make production efficiency gains
  • 1.2 Production schedule is analysed according to production output, inventory, procurements, time constraints, supply capacities and requirements
  • 1.3 Quality standards and safe work practices are examined to ensure compliance
  • 1.4 Changeover/make ready processes are reviewed for production efficiency gains
  • 1.5 Recommendations covering the above areas are developed and documented
2. Optimise production efficiency
  • 2.1 Compliance to specified requirements is checked to ensure efficiency is maintained
  • 2.2 Non-compliance is identified and investigated to determine causes
  • 2.3 Production standards or machines are set and/or changed according to enterprise procedures
  • 2.4 Changeover/make ready times and processes are monitored to ensure times are maintained or improved
  • 2.5 Production schedule is monitored and adjusted according to production output, inventory, procurements, time constraints and supply capacities and requirements to ensure efficiency is maintained
3. Troubleshoot production efficiency problems
  • 3.1 Corrective or preventive action is implemented where appropriate
  • 3.2 Changes are communicated to relevant personnel in a logical and easily understood manner
  • 3.3 Changes are monitored and adjusted to confirm improvement to production efficiency
4. Troubleshoot material and machining problems
  • 4.1 Evaluation of material or product structure is conducted to identify options for production and required tuning and adjustments are completed
  • 4.2 Idiosyncrasies of machines are reviewed and adjustments or tuning undertaken to compensate or to exploit the idiosyncrasy within the manufacturer’s specifications
  • 4.3 Options are assessed to determine most effective/efficient method of production, ensuring highest quality and yield from materials and ease of production
  • 4.4 Options and recommendations are documented for future reference according to enterprise procedures
5. Document changes and remedies
  • 5.1 Changes to production process are documented according to enterprise procedures
  • 5.2 Adjustments to machines are recorded according to enterprise procedures
  • 5.3 Documentation is circulated according to enterprise procedures, if required
