Description
This qualification provides the skills and knowledge required to plan, direct and coordinate production activities in a manufacturing environment. The qualification has been developed with the process manufacturing sector as a focus. It may also be applied to other organisations in the value chain. The qualification packaging has been developed on an assumption that competency will be developed through a combination of on and off-the-job learning strategies. The qualification may also be achieved through recognition processes. |

Pathways Information
Pathways into the qualification |
This qualification has no entry requirement. However, entrants for the qualification should already possess operational or technical skills related to the organisation seeking production improvements either through prior relevant experience or qualifications. For this reason the qualification is not suitable as an entry level qualification for school leavers. The units of competency in this qualification reflect competencies which are practised within the industry and recognition of prior learning (RPL) should be granted where there is sufficient evidence of competency from work-based experience. |
Additional qualification advice |
This qualification provides the skills needed to assist organisations to improve production where competitive manufacturing (lean) processes are not fully employed. It therefore complements but does not duplicate qualifications supplying skills related to competitive manufacturing. Where these skills are required MSA51108 Diploma of Competitive Manufacturing, should be considered. |
