Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to MEM07027B Perform advanced press operations
Application
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to perform advanced press operations and relates to operations where the output of the machine/process can be varied at the discretion of the operator and where recognition/rectification skills are applied based upon product/material/process knowledge to achieve specified outcomes.
Where operational maintenance is required to be performed unit MEM07001 Perform operational maintenance of machines/equipment should also be selected.
When production packaging and labelling of the finished goods or product is required unit MEM11006 Perform production packaging should also be selected.
Where the selection and use of power tools/hand held operations is required unit MEM18002 Use power tools/hand held operations should also be selected.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
