Unit of competency
Modification History
Not applicable.
Application
This unit of competency covers leading teams and developing strategies for more sustainable use of resources. The team may be in operations, an operational support function (e.g. maintenance, office or warehouse) or along the value chain (e.g. supplier of goods or services or a customer).
This unit applies inside organisations and their value chains. The unit has been developed with manufacturing operations as a focus. However, because of the range of organisations in a typical manufacturing value chain it may also be applied to other types of organisations.
This unit applies where a team leader needs to integrate a range of skills and knowledge covering process skills and knowledge and sustainability. The team leader must lead and assist team members to understand and apply a holistic view of their job and the team's role within the organisation and the objectives that the team must meet as part of the sustainability impacts made by the enterprise.
The unit scope includes products made or services offered, and use of sites by an organisation or manufacturing value chain member (e.g. supplier of goods or services or a customer).
Environmental sensitivities referred to in this unit are at the issue level. The technical measurement of operational performance or measurement of emissions or other environmental impact is not covered by this unit.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
