This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to write technical or non-technical reports that include a basic level of analysis and/or research.

The term report is used to denote any required written communication that goes beyond a simple recording of facts such as completion of a pro forma shift production schedule.

Conclusions and/or recommendations where required are based on prior research or analysis of data. The analysis and conclusions should be consistent with the level of skill and knowledge of an employee working at that level.

Where more than a simple level of data research and analysis is necessary to produce information for the report, Unit MEM16009 Research and analyse engineering information should also be selected.

For preparation of simple technical reports, unit MEM16014 Report technical information should be selected.

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