Application

This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to identify and rectify faults and report on system performance and product quality data, related to finishing and converting systems, in a pulp or paper manufacturing facility.

This unit applies to senior operators and production specialists who troubleshoot and rectify finishing and converting systems. This typically involves working in a facility with complex integrated equipment and continuous operations. Finishing and converting operations describe a range of systems and subsystems, including winding and re-winding, decorating, lotionising, calendering, water marking, perforating, slitting and cutting, embossing, laminating, folding, printing, bonding, core making, wrapping and packing.

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