| PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD |
In order for me to perform effectively in the field of plastics manufacturing, I will be able to:
- Maintain production efficiencies in a volume plastics manufacturing process.
- Apply methods and techniques to ensure that efficiency is measured, analysed and calculated.
- Respond to deviations, problems and incidents which affect efficiency.
I will also know and understand:
- Factors that impact on efficiency.
- Techniques for measuring, analysing and calculating efficiency.
- Techniques and principles for involving all the actors and role-players in the process.
I can be assessed against this unit standard in the context of any volume plastics manufacturing process, e.g.
- Injection moulding.
- Blow moulding.
- Various kinds of extrusion.
- Variations of thermoforming.
- Rotational moulding.
- Calendaring.
- Compression and related moulding processes.
- Reaction injection moulding.
- Polymer composites fabrication processes such as pultrusion, filament winding and resin injection.
The volume production process also includes the regeneration of recycled materials and the manufacture of intermediate products such as sheet, profiles, compounds and master batches.
The skill, the knowledge and the values reflected in this unit standard form part of the exit level outcomes required for the National Certificate in Plastics Manufacturing NQF Level 5.
