13.04 Sustainable Manufacturing

This Toolbox is developed to support MSA07 for learners from Certificate II to Certificate III in the manufacturing training package. The manufacturing industry recognises the importance of sustainability and growth. Many enterprises within the manufacturing industry sectors are concerned about the costs associated with environmental legislation, standards and compliance. Managing the cost implications of sustainability will be a major challenge for enterprises. In the process manufacturing sector of Manufacturing there is no real history of training and no traditional trades as such. This means there are many workers with 10, 20 and more years of work experience with no formal qualifications, and in many cases a reluctance to participate in structured learning. Training for sustainability, using user-friendly, innovative learning is a useful way to introduce workers to the learning environment. This has the potential to flow onto further structured learning resulting in increased productivity.
