Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Plan production 2. Monitor panel production performance |
2.1. Applicable Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), environmental , legislative and organisational requirements relevant to planning and coordinating panel production are identified and followed 2.2. Variations in panel characteristics are assessed, recorded and reported to operators 2.3. Panel production schedules are produced and applied in line with site procedures 2.4. Panel type and sizes including order information are planned, scheduled and communicated to operators 2.5. Production methods are planned and prescribed 2.6. Communication with others is established and maintained in line with OHS requirements |
2.7. Production methods are reviewed for suitability to planned schedules and production orders 2.8. Panel production is monitored for effectiveness of forming, laminating or veneering procedures and condition of panels 2.9. Assistance is provided to operators with the evaluation of panels and production problems 2.10. Panel management and output are monitored to record possible process improvements 2.11. Panel production, major problems and equipment faults are investigated, recorded and reported in line with site requirements 2.12. Processes for rejecting and disposing of sub-standard panels produced are developed in line with site procedures and environmental requirements |
|
3. Coordinate panel production |
3.1. Production and output are monitored to record and action possible process improvements based on production methods and panels being processed 3.2. Modifications are made to production methods or schedules to ensure optimum performance and communicated to operators 3.3. Production improvement modifications are documented and communicated in line with site procedures 3.4. Production output details are obtained and recorded in line with site requirements 3.5. Produced panels are directed to storage or transferred for further processing 3.6. Operating logs and cutting records are completed and maintained to site standards |
