Application
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to plan, coordinate and monitor production of engineered wood panels.
The unit applies to individuals who work as production supervisors in an engineered wood panel manufacturing facility. They generally demonstrate autonomy, judgement and limited responsibility in known or changing contexts and within established parameters.
All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, according to state/territory health and safety regulations, legislation and standards that apply to the workplace.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Plan engineered wood panel production | 1.1 Review engineered wood panel production schedule, workplace health and safety requirements, environmental protection practices and emergency procedures, and confirm requirements with relevant personnel 1.2 Identify and report hazards and use personal protective equipment according to workplace requirements and health and safety legislation to maintain safe work practices 1.3 Inspect engineered wood panel characteristics and record and report variations to operators 1.4 Plan, schedule and communicate engineered wood panel type, sizes and production methods to operators 1.5 Maintain communication with operators as required, to ensure health and safety and production requirements are met |
2. Monitor engineered wood panel production outcomes and record information | 2.1 Monitor engineered wood panel production for effective forming, laminating or veneering outcomes and panel condition 2.2 Assist operators to evaluate engineered wood panels, identify faults and rectify production problems 2.3 Develop processes for rejecting and disposing of sub-standard engineered wood panels produced according to site procedures and environmental requirements 2.4 Monitor engineered wood panel production and output management and record possible process improvements |
3. Coordinate engineered wood panel production and record information | 3.1 Modify production methods or schedules as required, to ensure optimum performance 3.2 Communicate to operators and record production improvement modifications according to site procedures 3.3 Direct produced engineered wood panels to storage or transfer for further processing 3.4 Record and report engineered wood panel production data, output data, quality data and equipment faults according to record keeping procedure and site requirements |
