1. Introduction

Machining Design & Programming Development are areas that offer unlimited business
opportunities and jobs. The needs and expertise extended to other areas of manufacturing
including fashion design & garment making, automotive, engineering, aerospace and
many more. The machining design and programming is a process involving Computer
Aided Design (CAD) software that is used in order to produce drawing or engineering
design. The design and manufacturing of the component and parts in modern
Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) is highly automated and requires complex and
tedious machining language however, it become easier with the assistance of Computer
Aided Manufacturing (CAM) technology that is used to simulate the whole processes. In
CNC machining, the desired cuts and other techniques are programmed with machining
language and fed into the machine which then carries out the specified tasks. Consisting
of instructions written in a numerical code using CAM software, a program will detail
everything from where to cut a workpiece to how fast the tools and machine should move.
Many industries are engaging the CNC machines for faster production of precise and
highly efficient parts.

CNC machines or computerized numerically controlled machines made the

manufacturing process immensely smooth, thanks to the integration of technology
compared to ordinarily hand-operated tools. Simpler devices such as lathes and mills are
commonly CNC controlled now allowing for continuous manufacturing, fewer errors and
increased uniformity. Along with making simpler machine processes more efficient, CNC
drives more complicated procedures such as laser cutting and large industrial machines
which would otherwise be quite difficult to operate.

The CAD/ CAM has been used as the main application in designing products, processing
and managing the operations and resources of any manufacturing plant. Computer
technology has been extensively used to help both designing and information system
which focus on the effort to increase the overall efficiency and meet the customer's
requirements. With the high demand from competitive market, Small Medium Enterprise
industry needs to be aligned with the current computer technology and comply with the
demands of the clients in order to increase their productivity.

With the latest technologies of IoT and Augmented Reality as current great frontier of
technological progress, it gives the machining industry an ability to make an integration
between sensors and things by using the internet as a communication medium. These
allows the machining designers and programmers a wide area to take benefit of it. The
IoT is defined as a combination of networks that enables dual communication between
machinery, facilities, finished and unfinished products via local intelligence. It
incorporates deep learning and machine learning, big data, industrial data sensors,
machine-to-machine communication and giving results when compared to humans which
are more accurate and reliable.

1.1 Occupation Overview

A person who specialises in Machining Design and Programming Development are

called Machining Programmer. They are the competent workers in three (3) principal
machine design and programming processes namely design analysis, design
simulation & prototyping and numerical code & CNC machine programming. All
these processes are performed to achieve the desired finished workpiece that meets
the specifications set out by the engineering drawings or blueprints.

a) Design analysis - Design analysis is the systematic process of developing a

design including all information discovery, planning and communications.
This can be applied to any type of design including the design of physical things
such as buildings and intangible things such as software, information and
processes.

b) Design simulation & prototyping.

i) Virtually test behaviour of a product under various operating and

environmental conditions. Simulation of manufacturing processes is
commonly referred to as “process simulation” or “virtual manufacturing.”

ii) In some design workflow models, creating a prototype (a process

sometimes called materialization) is the step between the formalization
and the evaluation of an idea.

c) Numerical Code (NC) & Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) machine

programming - NC refers to skills and knowledge of abstractly encoded
commands in computer or machine language on a storage medium that is being
programmed to automate the CNC machines processes accurately and
precisely.

1.2 Rationale of National Occupational Skills Standard Development

This document is a revision of National Occupational Skills Standard (NOSS)

previously developed namely Manufacturing Coordination (CAD/CAM) with
NOSS code MC-050-4-2012. The revision development process is inclusive of
mapping the NOSS to compare and align the competencies according to the current
industry needs. The development panels also incorporate the latest technological
advancement in the machining industry as a benchmark and to sustain this document
usage for the next few years to come until it is due for next revision.

The reviewed NOSS changed its title as Machining Design & Programming
Development and the entry level at level 2. This NOSS specifically outline the
competencies required to perform machining designing & programming as required
by the industry. It can be used as a guideline for job description, performance
appraisal and personnel development. Training centres can utilise this document as
a guideline in developing the curriculum for Malaysian Skills Diploma (MSD)
(Level 4) in Machining Design & Programming Development.

The engineering technological advancement in the machining industry is constantly

changing and moving at a very fast paced. This is clearly evidenced with the
announcement of Industry 4.0 at the national and international level recently. Whilst
the Industry 4.0 promotes system automation, information and communications
technology application in the manufacturing process, the basics of conventional
machining operations will still be very much relevant and essential for the small and
medium enterprise group.

The previous NOSS is reviewed in order to produce the standard framework to the
latest competency standard expected from the current and potential workers of this
field. Machining Design & Programming Development is a specialised skill with
meticulous work processes as to produce high standard quality service or products.
The ultimate aims of this reviewed NOSS is to produce technically skilled workers
in Machining Design & Programming Development equipped with the highest level
of discipline and work ethics. The Core Abilities and Social Values & Social Skills
modules are designed and embedded in the training curriculum as to provide the
trainee with employability skills. These skills are vital in preparing them before
embarking into labour market.

1.3 Rationale of Occupational Structure and Occupational Area Structure

Based on the Malaysia Standard Industry Classification (MSIC) 2008, Machining

Programmer are classified in Section (C) Manufacturing. The 3-digit code closely
match for Machining Programmer (259) Manufacturing of Other Fabricated Metal
Product; Metal Working Service Activities.

With the latest development in the machining industry technology, the NOSS
development committee has identified three (3) main pillars that falls under this
group namely Machining, Die Making and Mould Making. These pillars represent
the three (3) main work areas which covers metal machining, metal stamping and

4 / 80
 C259-006-4:2020

plastic mould making. This NOSS specifically covers the occupational area of
design and machining programming or design for manufacturing & assembly as it is
normally called. The entry level for this NOSS starts at level 2 even though the job
title starts at level 1 as general machinist. This is due to the reason that most of the
competencies at level 1 are also performed at level 2. The proposed Occupational
Structure and Occupational Area Structure for this NOSS are depicted in Figure 1
and Figure 2 respectively in Section 2 and 3.
