Develop the competitive manufacturing approach
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: June 2024
This unit applies to organisation leaders and is intended for managers and people with a similar sphere of influence and scope of authority and responsibility. It is a global unit covering the analysis and further development of the overall competitive manufacturing approach adopted by an organization to ensure that the development fits with customer and other value chain member requirements. For a greater focus on reviewing and developing specific competitive manufacturing practices refer to MSACMG802A Audit the use of competitive tools.
The unit applies to individuals who are familiar with competitive manufacturing as applied at an organisational level. Where this is not the case the following units can be completed to supply the necessary skills:
MSACMS600A Develop a competitive manufacturing system
MSACMS601A Analyse and map a value chain
MSACMS603A Develop manufacturing related business plans
MSACMC611A Manage people relationships.
The following units may also be relevant in some circumstances:
MSACMS604A Manage competitive manufacturing processes in a jobbing shop environment
MSACMS606A Introduce competitive manufacturing to a small or medium enterprise.
This unit may also be applied to service organisations applying competitive manufacturing principles.
This unit takes a strategic view and covers skills aimed at further developing the organisation's competitive manufacturing philosophies and approaches.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
Employability Skills
This unit contains employability skills.
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, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Demonstrates skills and knowledge required to: critically review and improve competitive manufacturing strategy. In particular look for evidence of: ongoing review of strategy analysis of current situation both for organisation and value chain implementation of improvement plans. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment. Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices. Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability. Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required. Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities. |
Method of assessment | Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Manufacturing Training Package. Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace 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 may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency where required. |
Guidance information for assessment | Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed. |

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.
|
Required skills |
decision making communication at all levels situation analysis |
Required knowledge |
competitive manufacturing principles competitive manufacturing tools, their applications and limitations workplace strategy and vision ways of determining competency gaps |
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, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. 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) may also be included. | |
Codes of practice/standards | Where reference is made to industry codes of practice, and/or Australian/international standards, the latest version must be used |
Health, safety and environment (HSE) | All changes implemented are expected to be at least neutral, or preferably beneficial, in their impact on health, safety and environment |
Organisation | Organisation includes: any part of a manufacturing or service organisation companies, government bodies or other body of people aiming to produce a product to service a customer |
Competitive philosophy | Competitive philosophy includes that body of knowledge and techniques which together guides an organisation towards achieving best practice in their processes and includes: manufacturing practice lean manufacturing agile manufacturing |
Prioritising action | Prioritising of actions may include: cost/benefit analysis readiness analysis tactical survival response |
Sustaining improvement | Improvement may be sustained by including it in: standard procedures and work instructions standard practice other relevant documents and practices |
Manager | Manager may include: any person who may have either a permanent or an ad hoc role in facilitating the function of multiple teams in a workplace, departments or entire organisations |
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.
