Range Statement
|
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. |
Changeover may include: | an exchange of dies/tools (traditional), or a change between batches, or it may be any quantum equipment/process change to produce a different product eg plate changeover, stock change producing only the one product or simultaneous range of products. This is not applicable to a maintenance/PVI shutdown as experienced by continuous process manufacturers. |
Procedures may include: | procedures includes all work instructions, standard operating procedures, formulas/recipes, batch sheets, temporary instructions and similar instructions provided for the smooth running of the plant. They may be written, oral, computer-based or in some other form. |
SMED may include: | changeover is sometimes referred to as SMED which is a more extreme form where SMED is an abbreviation for Single Minute Exchange of Die; literally, changing a die on a forming or stamping machine in a minute or less; broadly, the ability to perform any set up activity in a minute or less of machine or process downtime. The key to doing this is frequently the capability to convert internal set up time to external set up time. Variations on SMED include:single-digit set up performing a set up activity in a single-digit number of minutes, ie fewer than tenOTED: One touch exchange of die; literally, changing a die with one physical motion such as pushing a button; broadly, an extremely simple procedure for performing a set up activity. |
Set up time may include: | set up time - work required to change over a machine or process from one item or operation to the next item or operation. It can be divided into two types:internal set up work that can be done only when the machine or process is not actively engaged in production; ORexternal set up work that can be done concurrently with the machine or process performing production duties. |
