Elements and Performance Criteria
- Use operator interface
- Keyboards, track ball and monitor and/or stand-alone controllers are used to access control system/panel
- Glass processing task is monitored using the operator interfaces selecting appropriate controller modes
- Historical data and information are accessed as required
- Messages and alarms are monitored and acknowledged with appropriate action taken
- Advanced control features are accessed and managed as appropriate
- Access control information
- Relevant data and information are accessed from the control system by applying systems knowledge
- Status of individual pieces of equipment is determine from the control panel readings and the information used to identify potential faults
- Fluctuations and variations in process through the interpretation of existing trends and control schematics are minimised
- Overall operating effectiveness of the plant area is determine and related to the required targets for the area
- Process variations/irregularities to procedures are recoded as necessary
- Control process variations and monitor operations
- Historical data on plant operations are used to assist the identification of problems and all available information processed to identify potential faults
- Required set point/output changes are undertaken to meet plant area and process requirements
- Production is adjusted in response to test results and control panel information
- Key process and environmental variables are monitored and appropriate action taken
- Controller settings are adjusted in accordance with procedures with advanced control features utilised as appropriate
- Plant area is optimised in accordance with guidelines
- Calibration operations are made as appropriate
- Coordination with stakeholders external to the plant area is undertaken as required
- Adjustments and variations to specifications/schedules are recorded and communicated to appropriate personnel
- Facilitate planned and unplanned process start-ups and shutdowns
- Procedures to planned startup and shutdown processes are selected and applied
- Procedures to unplanned shutdown processes are selected and applied where required
- Required emergency responses are implemented
- Necessary information is communicated to all personnel affected by events
- Required information is logged regularly
- Respond to alarms or out of specification conditions and control hazards
- System(s) affected by the alarm or condition are identified, prioritised and appropriate action taken
- Alarm or incidents are responded to promptly by following procedures
- Any out of specification material is dealt with in accordance with procedures and the problem/solution communicated to appropriate personnel
- Incident information is recorded as required and details of the alarm and action taken communicated to the next shift at change over
- Incidents are followed up to confirm that appropriate action has been taken
- Hazards in the production/processing work area are identified and the risks arising from those hazards assessed
- Measures to control risks are implemented in line with procedures and duty of care
- Resolve other problems within scope of responsibility
- Possible problems in equipment, control systems or process are identified to determine problems needing action
- Possible fault causes are established and problems rectified using appropriate solution within area of responsibility
- Initiated control actions are followed through until final resolution has occurred with problems outside area of responsibility reported to designated person
