Verify Design of Advanced Manufacture Product/Process

​

This standard identifies the competences you need to verify designs associated with a new product/process being developed using advanced manufacturing methods and techniques and introduced for the first time. You will be required to verify the design with relevant others in the context of your area of responsibility. Your responsibilities will require you to comply with organisational policy and procedures for ensuring, through your technical support of the team, the verification of the design for the new product. You will also report any problems that you cannot personally resolve to the relevant authority. You will be expected to work unsupervised, either on your own or with the team, which you may lead or direct, taking full responsibility for your actions, and possibly for the work of colleagues. Your underpinning knowledge will provide a good understanding of general and discipline-specific engineering principles and processes.  You will be fully conversant with organisational procedures and systems for verifying the design of products, in the context of your own expertise and area of responsibility. You will be fully aware of any health, safety and environmental requirements, and the appropriate legislative and regulatory frameworks, applicable to your area of responsibility.  You will be required to ensure that safe working practices are maintained throughout and will understand the responsibility you owe to yourself and others in the workplace.
