Elements

Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Prepare to optimise timber production

1.1 Review work order to determine job requirements and, where required, seek clarification from appropriate personnel

1.2 Review workplace health and safety procedures, including the use of personal protective equipment, equipment lock-out and safe manual handling techniques

1.3 Identify, assess and take actions to mitigate risks and hazards associated with optimising timber production

1.4 Identify workplace environmental protection procedures for minimising and disposing of waste material, cleaning tools and equipment, and maximising energy efficiency

1.5 Consult with appropriate personnel to ensure that work is coordinated effectively with others in the workplace

1.6 Obtain tools, equipment and timber needed for the work

2. Plan to optimise the volume and value of timber production

2.1 Identify cutting plan and output mix based on analysis of timber characteristics, machine capability and product demand

2.2 Identify processing constraints and potential solutions to ensure that production and quality requirements are met

2.3 Check input material against specification and production run requirements

2.4 Inspect timber for defects and identify potential impact on the cutting plan, production run and product quality

2.5 Finalise cutting plan based on inspection outcomes

2.6 Identify implications of unsuitable planning on volume and value of timber production and associated impacts on customers and saw centre efficiency

2.7 Check trial pieces to ensure compliance with production and product quality requirements

2.8 Communicate cutting plan, production rate and quality requirements to appropriate personnel

3. Implement and report on the optimisation plan

3.1 Implement cutting plan to optimise volume and value of timber production

3.2 Manage production rate to ensure compliance with optimisation objectives

3.3 Monitor quality of cut timber to ensure compliance with optimisation objectives

3.4 Manage reuse, recycling or disposal of items that do not meet quality requirements

3.5 Monitor product flow to optimise downstream processes according to workplace procedures

4. Report on optimisation

4.1 Review optimisation objectives in relation to timber volume and value recovery

4.2 Record production outcomes according to workplace procedures

4.3 Compare production outcomes with optimisation objectives

4.4 Report production outcomes and compliance with optimisation objectives to the appropriate person
