Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to MEM30019A Use resource planning software systems in manufacturing.
Application
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to access and use enterprise resource planning (ERP), material requirements (or resource) planning (MRP) software systems that are used in conjunction with just-in-time (JIT) techniques. Systems provide information to support production operations such as master production schedules, materials requirement plans, capacity requirement plans, bills of material, inventory control and statistics, order actions and schedules.
The unit applies to engineering or related activities and is suitable for people giving technical support in manufacturing or engineering operations and those pursuing technical qualifications and careers at paraprofessional or technician level. All work is carried out under supervision.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Pre-requisite Unit
MEM13015 Work safely and effectively in manufacturing and engineering
MEM16006 Organise and communicate information
MEM16008 Interact with computing technology
Competency Field
Engineering technician

Foundation Skills
This section describes those language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills that are essential to performance.
Foundation skills essential to performance are explicit in the performance criteria of this unit of competency.
Range of Conditions
|
This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.
|
|
Software systems include:
|
- Enterprise resource planning (ERP)
- Material requirements (or resource) planning MRP
- similar software programs.
|
|
Appropriate actions needed as a result of information obtained from resource planning software include:
|
- production schedules
- materials management
- purchasing and ordering
- transport and logistics.
|
|
Resource planning information includes:
|
- information from ERP, MRP or similar systems that provide information on:

Assessment Conditions
- have vocational competency in using resource planning software systems in manufacturing at least to the level being assessed with relevant industry knowledge and experience
- satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 or its replacement and comply with the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011, its replacement or equivalent legislation covering VET regulation in a non-referring state/territory as the case requires.
- Where possible, assessment must occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment that reflects realistic operational workplace conditions that cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
- Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications.
- Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
