MCMS400A Implement a Competitive Manufacturing System

Ideal for anyone in a team leader role this unit forms part of the Certificate IV in Competitive Manufacturing program. Participants must complete 10 units of competency and may be eligible for training subsidies.

Unit Descriptor

This unit covers the knowledge and skills needed to implement competitive manufacturing practices.

Generally, five areas drive competitive manufacturing: cost, quality, delivery, safety/environment, and morale. In a competitive manufacturing company systems will need to be implemented which drive continuous improvement in all these areas, without one area competing unduly with another.
 

Application of the Unit

In a typical scenario, team performance is continually reviewed against the five key areas and in liaison with other relevant people, and with the support of technical support staff, improvements in these five key areas are developed and implemented. Whereas other units may emphasise the
competence to use one or more tools, this unit emphasises the ability to advance on all five key areas over a moderate time period.
