Plan the Installation of New Advanced Manufacture Processes
Overview
This standard identifies the competences you need to plan and install the new manufacturing process 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 produce 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 planning and installation of the new process. 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 producing designs for new 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.
Performance criteria
You must be able to:
1. Access and accurately interpret all relevant work instructions and information
2. Work safely at all times and in accordance with all relevant legislation, guidelines, policies, procedures and protocols
3. Produce a risk assessment and method statement for the work activities to be carried out
4. Deal promptly and effectively with any problems within your control and report those which cannot be solved
5. Access and gather the appropriate equipment, accessories and components and other resources to carry out the work activities
6. Comply with industry practices and organisational procedures to ensure the co-ordination of site services and work activities
7. Wear PPE in accordance with organisational procedures
8. Confirm customer build dates and delivery schedule requirements for the new product
9. Determine organisational availability of in-house equipment against the planned manufacturing layout
10. Create delivery plans for equipment and resources against the planned manufacturing layout
11. Identify and apply the security requirements associated with the work and confirm with relevant others
12. Develop removal plans for redundant services and equipment from the planned manufacturing area
13. Develop installation plans for new services in the new manufacturing area against the agreed floor plan layout
14. Develop and agree individual delivery sub-contractors/machine builders plans for the manufacturing area
15. Construct a master plan for the installation of the new manufacturing process against agreed floor plan layout
16. Obtain sign-off and agreement from stakeholders for the master plan
17. Implement and manage the installation of the new manufacturing process against the master plans
18. Report project progress to relevant parties at the agreed stages of the plan
19. Identify variations to the planned programme of work that may have the potential to impact on the work activities to be undertaken
20. Confirm with relevant others the corrective actions to ensure that any variations to the planned programme of work will have minimum impact on the work activities
21. Complete and store all relevant documentation in accordance with organisational procedures
22. Dispose of waste in accordance with organisational procedures
23. Leave the work area in a safe condition on completion of the work activities in accordance with organisational procedures
