PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD

The qualifying learner will be capable of handing over a manufacturing operation or a part of a manufacturing operation for which he or she is responsible, to another person, ensuring that the manufacturing activities or maintenance continue in accordance with instructions and best practice. This promotes team work in the workplace, safety and productivity to the benefit of the learner, co-workers, employer and economy.

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

The learner must be competent to carryout all the manufacturing work required in the specific learning environment and have appreciation (knowledge) of quality, productivity, health, safety and the environment concerning his or her work activities.
The learner must be able to communicate effectively using verbal and written (paper and or computer based) as applicable at the site where learning takes place.

PROVIDERS CURRENTLY ACCREDITED TO OFFER THIS UNIT STANDARD:

This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
