Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge to identify, implement and monitor a reengineering process to achieve a sustainability improvement of a process or product family. This includes the identification of the process for reengineering, the development of the sustainability objectives of the reengineering project, establishment of project objectives, implementation and evaluation. The reengineering project may involve consultations and participation by customers and suppliers in the value chain.
This unit applies to production operations that have identified reengineering as a potential strategy for improving sustainability.
This unit applies to a manager or technical specialist who has a major responsibility for sustainability as part of a broader work role, or sustainability may be their primary work responsibility. The manager or technical specialist may undertake this alone or as part of a team.
No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
