Release 1 - New qualification
Description
This qualification covers the skills and knowledge required to perform a range of high level technical operations and manufacturing tasks required for producing products. |
Job roles/employment outcomes |
The MSA40311 Certificate IV in Process Manufacturing is intended for advanced production workers who use a range of equipment and are involved in solving complex problems which require theoretical knowledge, combined with an understanding of operating procedures directly related to producing products. |
Application |
This qualification is typically used to develop employees performing a technical role that includes the ability to work independently and conduct technical problem solving according to the needs of the work required to produce products. This qualification is designed to develop employees who operate across more than one category within process manufacturing or other product conversion processes in manufacturing. Typical applications would be in chemical, hydrocarbons, refining, minerals processing, plastics, rubber, cablemaking, manufactured mineral products, and other areas as appropriate. Non-technical team leaders, coordinators and supervisors may be better served by a qualification in competitive manufacturing. |
Pathways Information
Pathways into the qualification |
This qualification may be accessed by direct entry. The units of competency contained within this qualification are common with other qualifications. In particular, the core units and most of the elective units are common to qualifications in the three Process Manufacturing Training Packages (coded PMA, PMB and PMC). Where competency has already been achieved, credit will be granted towards this qualification. 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. |
Pathways from the qualification |
Further qualification pathways from this qualification include MSA50311 Diploma of Production Management. The MSA51108 Diploma of Competitive Manufacturing (or latest version) is also appropriate for those needing a qualification covering manufacturing practice and lean principles. |
Licensing/Regulatory Information
There are no specific licences that relate to this qualification. However, in some jurisdictions some units of competency in this qualification may have regulatory requirements. Local regulations should be checked for details.
