Apprenticeship Standards Lean Manufacturing Operative
About the role
This level 2 apprenticeship standard is designed as a minimum 12-18 month programme and is for apprentices who wish to gain the skills, knowledge and behavioural competences required to work in a lean manufacturing operative role.
A lean manufacturing operative will be expected to carry out their work safely and meet the exacting quality standards demanded in a fast-paced and efficient processing environment and develop into a multi-skilled operator through process ownership. They can be required to carry out manufacturing activities on multiple products with different specifications consecutively. e.g. automotive manufacturing – multi models manufacturing results in the manufacturing of different models of vehicle with different specification variants within a high-volume environment.
They will be required to prepare, control, contribute to and complete manufacturing operations, and follow manufacturing processes and standard operating procedures (SOPs) whilst adhering to specific safe working policies and procedures.
Examples of the job titles from across the manufacturing sector that would be covered within this standard are:
- Production team member
- Manufacturing production operative
- Manufacturing assembly operative
- Manufacturing inspection / quality assurance operative
- Manufacturing logistics operative
- Manufacturing material-handling operative
- Manufacturing process/finishing operative
