Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Plan for implementing log processing operations
  • Review production requirements for log processing, and confirm schedules, targets, product specifications and performance indicators
  • Confirm workplace health and safety, quality and environmental protection practices and/or procedures and compliance with chain of custody requirements
  • Confirm legislation, standards and codes of practice relevant to log processing operations
  • Confirm stages in log processing operations to produce sawn products, veneer or wood chips
  • Identify hazards and associated risks, and implement risk control strategies as identified through risk assessments, manufacturer technical information, regulations and industry health and safety guides
  • Inspect raw materials, identify possible production and quality implications and communicate variations to production methods to team members
  • Communicate production schedule, targets, product specifications and performance indicators, to team members
  • Maintain communication with team members to ensure production schedule and workplace health and safety, environmental protection and quality practices and/or procedures are met
       
Element: Supervise log processing operations
  • Monitor workflow and processing operations, and check that production schedule, targets, performance indicators and product specifications are met
  • Assist team members to evaluate logs and identify and resolve potential processing problems
  • Monitor processing operations to ensure compliance with production schedule, quality requirements and product specifications
  • Monitor implementation of quality processes, and chain of custody requirements
  • Monitor operation of plant and equipment used in log processing operations
  • Evaluate effectiveness of processing operations at key points
  • Modify processing operations or schedules, as required, to ensure optimum performance
  • Coordinate inventory management to avoid degradation, identify out-of-specification logs, confirm log grades against quality requirements, maintain inventory levels and manage processes for reuse, recycling or disposal of sub-standard logs
  • Respond to breakdowns, disruptions to operations and unplanned events according to workplace procedures
  • Direct processed material to storage or transfer for further processing
  • Record and report production data and information on processing, safety and equipment faults to appropriate personnel
       
Element: Oversee maintenance and inventory management requirements
  • Monitor implementation of routine and preventative maintenance and cleaning requirements
  • Maintain product and material inventory levels to meet production and contingency requirements
       
Element: Evaluate log processing operations
  • Analyse data and observations on operations, faults, output and health and safety indicators to identify opportunities for process improvement
  • Report on production, health and safety, environmental protection and quality metrics to appropriate personnel according to workplace procedures
  • Seek comments and feedback from team members to identify opportunities for process improvement
  • Analyse feasibility of potential process improvements
  • Document process improvements and communicate to appropriate personnel according to workplace procedures

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
