Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to MSS405021A Develop a Just in Time system
Application
This unit applies to an individual responsible for planning and implementing a Just in Time (JIT) system. It includes consulting with employees, suppliers and customers regarding the change. This may require identification of training and other employee support as well as identifying possible logistical support.
The unit includes kanban-based JIT systems but also applies to other sectors and systems where a traditional kanban-type JIT may not be suitable through the unit’s coverage of JIT principles.
This unit requires the application of skills associated with communication in gathering, analysing and applying information, consulting with stakeholders, problem solving, and demonstrating initiative and enterprise. This unit also requires aspects of self-management and learning to ensure feedback and new learning is integrated into the JIT design.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
