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. |
Value chain | Competitive manufacturing organisations encompass the entire production system, beginning with the customer, and includes the product sales outlet, the final assembler, product design, raw material mining and processing and all tiers of the value chain (sometimes called the supply chain). Any truly 'competitive' system is highly dependent on the demands of its customers and the reliability of its suppliers. No implementation of competitive manufacturing can reach its full potential without including the entire 'enterprise' in its planning. |
Value added | Value added is measured against its contribution to the customer benefits/features and may be in the form of:technical benefits/featureslocation benefits/featuresaesthetic benefits/featuresinformation benefits/features. |
Just in time (JIT) | Just in time (JIT) is a production scheduling concept that calls for any item needed at a production operation - whether raw material, finished item, or anything in between, to be produced and available precisely when needed, neither a moment earlier nor a moment later. |
Waste | Waste (also known as muda in the Toyota Production System and its derivatives) is any activity which does not contribute to customer benefit/features in the product. Within manufacturing, categories of waste include:excess production and early productiondelaysmovement and transportpoor process designinventoryinefficient performance of a processmaking defective items.Waste for this unit may include activities which do not yield any benefit to the organisation or any benefit to the organisations customers. |
