Replaces equivalent unit FPPCPP440A Troubleshoot and rectify coated paper processes, which was first released with FPP10 Pulp and Paper Manufacturing Industry Training Package Version 1.

This is the first release of this unit in the new standards format.

Application

This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to diagnose, rectify and report on plant, equipment or product quality faults in coated paper processes.

This unit applies to senior operators and production specialists who troubleshoot and rectify coated paper processes in a pulp or paper manufacturing facility. This work typically involves complex integrated equipment and continuous operations. Coated paper processes describe a range of systems and sub systems including tail feed systems, chemical and material batching, laminating and coating, splicing, clay plant operation, calendaring, pre-reeler operations, super calendaring, rewindering, drying systems, internal unloading and combine rollers.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Performance Evidence

A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy all of the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, and must be able to provide evidence that they can troubleshoot and rectify coated paper processes, at least twice in line with required enterprise intervals, by:

  • selecting and using appropriate skills in trouble shooting in coated paper processes
  • identifying, diagnosing and rectifying faults in plant, equipment and product quality relevant to coated paper processes
  • undertaking sampling and testing on products and interpret test results
  • using and interpreting electronic control systems, including Digital Control System (DCS), touch screens or robotics to control equipment and processes
  • reading and interpreting documentation, procedures and reports relevant to coated paper processes
  • communicating with stakeholders about troubleshooting, including internal and external customers and suppliers, team members, production/service co-ordinators, maintenance services, operator support personnel, operational management and statutory authorities
  • communicating effectively and working safely with others, in the work area when troubleshooting and rectifying coated paper processes.

Knowledge Evidence

A person competent in this unit must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

  • documentation and procedures relevant to troubleshooting and rectifying coated paper processes in the pulp and paper industry including:
  • work health and safety (WHS) including high risk load shifting licensing requirements
