Organise composite trials

Issue Date: June 2024
This unit does not cover the selection of materials or processes but does cover the organising and analysing of trials to prove proposed new materials or processes in the production environment.
Trials may be undertaken by others, with this unit applying to the person organising the trials, or the same person may organise and undertake the trial. Organising the trial may typically be undertaken by an individual in liaison with relevant stakeholders or it may undertaken by a team. Organising of trials may be undertaken partially in an office environment or at the worksite. The trial itself may be undertaken by an individual or a team. It may be undertaken in a workshop or factory environment or in the field and may be used to manufacture new products, prototypes and samples, or to make repairs.
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to trial new materials and processes and make prototypes. The source of these trials may arise from internal improvements or new products/processes from external sources. Regardless, trials need to be conducted to 'prove' it in an industrial environment, to translate research and development into practical processes and to provide appropriate records and metrics.
