ICPSUP486
Mistake proof a production process

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to focus on preventing errors/backsliding to a previous behaviour.

It applies to individuals who perform a broad range of skilled tasks and services to customers in the printing and graphic arts industry. They may also provide some leadership and guidance to others in the application and planning of the skills

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)


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.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Analyse the process

1.1 Identify sources of variability/non-conformance in the process

1.2 Identify critical control points in the process

1.3 Analyse causes of variability/non-conformance

2. Develop preventive techniques/systems

2.1 Liaise with team members and others to develop mistake-proof methods of performing operations

2.2 Test and validate mistake proofing

3. Implement permanent fix

3.1 Liaise with relevant people to have systems/procedures changed to implement solution

3.2 Liaise with relevant people to ensure the workforce has an appropriate skills set

3.3 Follow through to ensure implementation occurs

4. Monitor implementation

4.1 Critically observe implementation

4.2 Compare results of the implementation against expected outcomes

4.3 Modify solution to improve outcomes

4.4 Ensure procedures reflect change

4.5 Ensure training and assessment reflect change

4.6 Audit change at agreed period/cycle

4.7 Take action on any observed deviation

5. Seek improvements

5.1 Observe changes against enterprise expectations for production

5.2 Analyse process against enterprise expectations for production

Evidence of the ability to:

analyse ONE complex process or several simpler processes and implement systems to ensure processes are as error-proof as possible

monitor and evaluate the results of the modifications to the process(es).

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

explain the concept of 'mistake proofing'

explain the importance of communication, problem-solving and teamwork in developing and implementing improvements

identify factors in production processes which may cause variability

outline methods of controlling variability in production processes

discuss mistake-proofing methods relevant to the process/product

outline methods used to monitor performance.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the Support field of work and include access to an organisation using a competitive manufacturing approach.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

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.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
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.
