Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the following is essential:
Compliance with relevant legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and organisation policies and procedures for maintaining of plant, tooling, equipment, product, or systems
Maintaining a working knowledge of current organisation inventory procedures
Working and communicating effectively and positively with others involved in the work
Applying, within authority, the requirements of the job or work role in relation to:
maintaining plant, tooling, equipment and/or systems effectively
preparing reports of results
achieving work quality goals
completing work area housekeeping requirements including the documentation of project activity and process outcomes.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
assessment of the competency should take place in a safe working environment in a passenger motor vehicle manufacturing plant or simulated environment using tools/equipment/machinery required for the production process without undue disruption to the production process
assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of organisation relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge
assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application
assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process
assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
This section describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.
Required skills
speak clearly and directly in order to communicate the condition of tools and equipment
apply teamwork to a range of situations, including the servicing of systems
solve problems particularly in teams in order to meet performance indicators
show initiative in adapting to changing work conditions or contexts particularly when working across a variety of work areas
access, interpret and apply information on relevant organisation policies, procedures and instructions, particularly to ensure tools and equipment are maintained to required levels of functionality
manage time when planning, preparing and organising work priorities
take responsibility for organising own work priorities.
Required knowledge
relevant Occupational Health and Safety and Environmental legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice and organisation policies and procedures needed to carry out work in a manner which ensures the safety of people, equipment and the environment.
interpreting performance results
operation of systems and components
organisational supply/replenishment systems and processes for materials, equipment and tools
types of tools and equipment and procedures for their safe use, operation and maintenance
environmental protection requirements relating to the disposal of waste material
established communication channels and protocols
problem identification and resolution
procedures for the recording, reporting and maintenance of organisation records and information.
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording in the Performance Criteria is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.
Organisational requirements may include:
access and equity principles and practices
environmental management (waste disposal, recycling and re-use guidelines)
emergency and evacuation procedures
equipment use procedures
ethical standards
legal obligations
maintenance and storage procedures
OHS requirements
organisational and site guidelines
policies and procedures relating to own role and responsibility
procedural manuals
quality assurance guidelines
quality and continuous improvement processes and standards
recording and reporting guidelines.
Maintenance of plant, tooling, equipment or systems may include:
the preventative and remedial maintenance of plant or components thereof, tooling, equipment or systems, which are required in the design, development and production of motor vehicles.
Instructions may include:
organisation procedures relating to the use and operation of tools and equipment
departmental requirements
organisation instructions, including job sheets, plans, specifications, drawings and designs
organisation procedures relating to reporting and communications
manufacturers' instructions for the use of equipment and materials.
Preventative maintenance may include:
the maintenance undertaken daily, weekly, monthly, annual or on other schedules, designed to provide regular systematic inspection and servicing thereby facilitating reliable operation.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
