ELEMENTS | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions. |
1. Monitor and maintain process | 1.1. Check production requirements at start of shift and plan daily work activities in line with organisational safety and standard operating procedures. 1.2. Confirm operational status by inspection, observation and other information. 1.3. Maintain process supplies to meet production requirements. 1.4. Monitor process to ensure coating system operations are within specification. 1.5. Identify, rectify or report routine variations from specification. 1.6. Monitor and maintain process levels to maintain productivity requirements. 1.7. Complete routine preventative maintenance in line with maintenance schedules. |
2. Control product quality | 2.1. Monitor and maintain product to quality requirements. 2.2. Conduct routine visual observations and assessments on product and system operations. 2.3. Sample and test product quality and interpret and record results to ensure production requirements are maintained. 2.4. Adjust system operation to rectify out-of-specification product and maintain productivity requirements. |
3. Record and report product and process data | 3.1. Interpret production data and enter into recording system. 3.2. Communicate problems or variations with process, product or equipment to relevant personnel. |
