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 standardised procedures applicable to work | 1.1 | Identify current operation and tasks in own work. |
| 1.2 | Check each operation and task to ensure it is required to meet customer need. |
| 1.3 | Select relevant procedures applicable to operations and tasks to meet customer, regulatory and other required needs. |
| 1.4 | Obtain takt time required for each selected operational step and task and compare with available time. |
| 1.5 | Incorporate takt time and selected operational step and task in daily work plan, as appropriate. |
| 1.6 | Take required action when time to complete operational steps and tasks exceeds takt time. |
| 1.7 | Liaise with relevant people regarding need to undertake any operations and tasks not directly related to customer benefit. |
|
2 | Follow standardised practices | 2.1 | Complete own required operations following standardised procedures and practices. |
| 2.2 | Note factors preventing the full application of standardised procedures and practices. |
| 2.3 | Identify variability in actual processes and products. |
| 2.4 | Identify waste which arises from following standard procedures and practices. |
|
3 | Make improvements | 3.1 | Suggest possible improvements for identified problems in accordance with continuous improvement procedures. |
| 3.2 | Check suggested improvement in accordance with continuous improvement procedures. |
| 3.3 | Examine outcome of checking process and standardise improvement, if appropriate. |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include the ability to suggest two (2) or more improvements and to:
use standardised procedures
identify variability and muda
develop a daily plan using takt time and available time.
Must provide evidence that demonstrates knowledge relevant to their job role sufficient to fulfil their job role under routine only supervision, including:
determination and use of takt time
determination and use of available time
identification of variability and muda
approaches to continuous improvement.
The unit should be assessed holistically and the judgement of competence shall be 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 operation of the workplace
will typically include a supervisor/third-party report focussing 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 suggesting continuous improvements in own workplace
will typically include the use of appropriate tools, equipment and safety gear requiring demonstration of preparation, operation, completion and responding to problems.
Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations.
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.
Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately.
Assessors must satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment as set by the VET regulator.
The assessor must demonstrate both technical competency and currency.
Technical competence can be demonstrated through:
relevant VET or other qualification/Statement of Attainment AND/OR
relevant workplace experience
Currency can be demonstrated through:
performing the competency being assessed as part of current employment OR
having consulted with an organisation providing relevant environmental monitoring, management or technology services about performing the competency being assessed within the last twelve months.
