Issue Date: May 2024
This unit applies to people with coordination and facilitation responsibilities for significant manufacturing operations.
Where the planning, scheduling and purchasing is done in an engineering or manufacturing organisation following lean principles, it is recommended that appropriate competitive systems and practices units of competency also be selected.
The unit applies where the coordination role involves application of engineering skills and knowledge to ensure safe, effective and efficient manufacturing and can include specific engineering-related tasks, such as installation and commissioning of plant, design of equipment and major overhauls.
The coordination role of the unit includes monitoring engineering and other technical performance parameters against the project plan as well as monitoring other project parameters that impact on engineering and technical compliance of the project. These include finance, accounting, budgeting and control, resourcing, tenders, contracts, WHS, risk management, human resources, and legal and regulatory requirements.
For coordination skills for time-defined engineering projects see unit MEM22013A Coordinate engineering projects.
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to coordinate, monitor and maintain engineering-related manufacturing operations, including the coordination of purchasing, scheduling of materials and resources, achievement of budget with control of processes, physical resources, maintenance of operations and assets, performance analysis and process improvement, work health and safety (WHS) and risk management.
