Strategic Purpose Statement |
This qualification recognises the skills and knowledge required of advanced operators in the wood fibre (Wood Panels) manufacturing industries.
The Core Elective section provides options to demonstrate skills in leading process improvement and to demonstrate understanding of the costs involved in production. This section also recognises skills required by employees in the wood fibre manufacturing industries at the advanced operator level to ensure they can perform their duties responsibly, safely, and efficiently; and proactively contribute to the improvement of product and process performance. It also shares standards in common with the National Certificate in Solid Wood Manufacturing (Advanced) with strands in Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) and Plywood Manufacturing, Sawmilling, Timber Drying, Timber Grading, and Timber Treatment [Ref: 1307] that recognise a common set of skills required by employees across the wood manufacturing industries at the advanced operator level. This qualification's strands recognise the competencies required to work in a range of advanced roles in wood fibre manufacturing (wood panels), including management of the technical aspects of: composite panel manufacturing, laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and plywood manufacturing, and of overlay bonding and product testing. Depending on the strand, the skills and knowledge covered may also include troubleshooting and production planning and control. This qualification allows the advanced operator to combine the technical competencies in one of the strands with the leadership, process improvement, and cost knowledge skills in the Core Elective section in order to be instrumental in driving the industry to greater cost-effectiveness and production efficiency. This qualification follows on from the National Certificate in Wood Fibre Manufacturing (Wood Panels) (Level 3) with strands in Composite Panel Preparation, Composite Panel Forming and Pressing, Composite Panel Finishing, Overlay Bonding Operations, Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) and Plywood Operations, and Veneer Preparation [Ref: 1309]. This qualification can lead to the National Certificate in Competitive Manufacturing (Level 4) with an optional strand in Facilitation [Ref: 1216]. |
