MCMC410A     Lead change in a manufacturing environment

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 by people who are given the responsibility of leading change processes in a manufacturing organisation. The change may be occurring in manufacturing or in the support functions of maintenance, office, warehousing etc.
 

Application of the Unit

In a typical scenario, change from continuous improvement is a constant in a competitive manufacturing organisation. Change can however be more significant, for example, when the move to competitive manufacturing improvement processes are made, or at other times when significant changes such as the introduction of new products, processes or equipment are made. In these circumstances one or more individuals may have a particular role of leading the change and facilitating its implementation.
 

This unit assumes that consultation between management and workers and other relevant personnel has already occurred and the nature and extent of the change has been agreed. This unit does not cover the negotiation of change in a formal industrial relations sense but does cover the skill needed to identify real or potential change implementation issues including those that may need to be referred to formal consultation and/or dispute settlement procedures.
