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.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Identify situations where statistics are used in the workplace | 1.1 | Types of statistical representations of data used in the workplace are identified |
| 1.2 | Users of statistical data in the workplace are identified |
| | 1.3 | Statistical data representations are matched for applications to monitor work flow, inventory and stock levels, customer surveys, and supplier and market analysis |
2 | Collect data | 2.1 | Purpose of data collection is identified |
| | 2.2 | Sources of information are identified |
| | 2.3 | Data collection methods are used |
| | 2.4 | Mathematical processes are used to arrange data |
| | 2.5 | Data collected is checked for accuracy |
| | 2.6 | Potential for inaccurate results arising from variables is estimated and described |
3 | Make calculations to present data for analysis | 3.1 | Data collected is represented on graphs as required |
| 3.2 | Calculating equipment and spreadsheets are used to analysis data |
4 | Interpret trends and patterns from numerical data | 4.1 | Non-conforming results outside of the predicted outcome are noted and reasons identified |
4.2 | Trends or patterns in data are noted |
| | 4.3 | Possible reasons for trends or patterns are generated |
| | 4.4 | Potential solutions are identified |
Collect, organise and understand information related to multi-trade work instructions and work orders, building and structural plans and safety procedures
Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment
Identify materials used in the work process
Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:
minimise the risk of injury to self or others
prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
Use general and statistical data representations to explain work processes and/or outcomes
Identify and read graphs, charts, tables and statistical results and interpret general and statistical data accurately
Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements
Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications and the reporting of work outcomes and problems, interpret basic plans and follow safety procedures
Use workplace technology related to the coordination, including communication equipment, time and management aids and other measuring devices
Avoid backtracking, work flow interruptions or wastage
Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity
Contemporary business information and statistical reporting, forecasting and presentation techniques
Mathematical calculations, including:
addition
subtraction
multiplication
division
percentages
Company business policies and plans, including procedures for reports
Company quality systems and business equipment
Assessors must:
hold training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) or its successors
have vocational competency in the furnishing industry at least to the level being assessed with broad industry knowledge and experience, usually combined with a relevant industry qualification
be familiar with the current skills and knowledge used and have relevant, current experience in the furnishing industry.
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time rather than a single assessment event and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, multimedia evidence, supervisor’s reports, projects and work samples.
Assessment is to be conducted on single units of competency or in conjunction with other related units of competency. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance in the unit and should not be assessed separately.
Assessment must occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process, equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
Access is required to a range of business information and statistical data, graphical, tabular and spreadsheet presentation capabilities.
