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 work requirements | 1.1 | Read and interpret documentation |
| 1.2 | Identify required schedules for receipt or despatch |
| 1.3 | Identify correct product/material |
| 1.4 | Identify potential problems and required action/solution |
| 1.5 | Plan work sequence using workplace and product knowledge |
| 1.6 | Select appropriate materials handling equipment as required |
| 1.7 | Identify work health and safety (WHS) requirements |
2 | Prepare for receiving or despatching goods | 2.1 | Select and check goods for receiving/despatch against product/material knowledge, labels and other identification systems |
| 2.2 | Sort, assemble and consolidate products as necessary |
| 2.3 | Secure order and place in storage areas in accordance with schedule |
| 2.4 | Check order against receiving/despatch schedule and order form |
3 | Move materials into/out of storage or to/from production | 3.1 | Check paperwork and identity of materials |
| 3.2 | Check for completeness and/or damage |
| 3.3 | Take action on non-conforming products/materials |
| 3.4 | Move products/materials safely |
| 3.5 | Store materials safely as required |
| 3.6 | Resolve routine problems that arise in accordance with procedures |
4 | Complete materials movement records | 4.1 | Complete materials movement records (in or out) |
| 4.2 | Update records as required |
| 4.3 | Complete other paperwork and records as required |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and must include the ability to:
identify and select goods to be moved in accordance with documentation
apply known solutions to routine problems
prepare and organise goods to be moved to fit with schedules
select and use handling equipment
read and interpret product specifications, job sheets, procedures, material labels and safety information
complete documentation and records
apply appropriate safety precautions and procedures.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
organisation procedures, including:
safety, emergency and hazard control
inventory and ordering systems
types and application of handling equipment and any licensing requirements
manual handling techniques and ergonomics
safe storage of dangerous goods and hazardous materials
transport requirements and restrictions for products/materials
production workflow requirements.
The unit should be assessed holistically and the judgement of competence based on a holistic assessment of the evidence.
The collection of performance evidence:
should occur over a range of situations which include typical disruptions to normal, smooth operations
will typically include a supervisor/third-party report focusing on consistent performance and problem recognition and solving. A supervisor/third-party report must be prepared by someone who has a direct, relevant, current relationship with the person being assessed and who is in a position to form a judgement on workplace performance relevant to the unit of competency
must include the use of appropriate tools, equipment and safety gear requiring demonstration of preparation, operation, completion and responding to problems
may use industry-based simulation for part but not all of the unit particularly where safety, lack of opportunity or significant cost is an issue.
Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
Assessment in a simulated environment should use evidence collected from one or more of:
walk-throughs
pilot plant operation
demonstration of skills
industry-based case studies/scenarios
‘what ifs’.
Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence (provided a record is kept) or through an independent process, such as workbooks, written assessments or interviews (provided a record is kept).
Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
The regulatory framework will be reflected in workplace policies and procedures and is not required to be independently assessed.
Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately.
As a minimum, assessors must satisfy the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 assessor requirements.
