Modification History
New unit, superseding MSACMT221A Apply Just in Time (JIT) procedures - Equivalent
Unit Descriptor
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to work in an organisation implementing Just in Time (JIT) procedures.
Application of the Unit
This unit applies to an individual working in an organisation following JIT who will need to follow procedures which are specific to JIT, such as the controlled flow of material (e.g. the use of kanban and elimination of waste). This will involve the individual in the application of the pull system to their job and the authorisation of product/material flows in accordance with procedures and their level of authority.
This unit requires the application of skills associated with planning and organising and self-management to deliver product on demand using necessary tools, equipment and processes to meet production requirements. The unit also requires an ability to recognise and act on problems that may interfere with meeting production demands.
