Course Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to review process specifications and determine the production sequence and applies to one of a range of processes in manufacturing: machining, pressing, assembly and to a stage of the overall production process.
It does not apply to interfacing between processes.
Where planning is based on engineering drawings and supporting engineering data, appropriate units of competence should also be selected.
