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 | Monitor information and control needs of organisation | 1.1 | Check the use of current information. |
| 1.2 | Check the operation of current control systems. |
| 1.3 | Communicate regularly with key information users regarding any new or changed information control needs, including information needs from and to value stream. |
| 1.4 | Identify short comings in information and control provision. |
| 1.5 | Take action on information and control needs to meet organisational needs. |
|
2 | Check the current system against organisation needs | 2.1 | Check the routine use of the system. |
| 2.2 | Check any system alarm or non-conformance notification and control operation. |
| 2.3 | Communicate regularly with key stakeholders about current system use and application. |
| 2.4 | Determine effect of non-conformance on enterprise system. |
| 2.5 | Identify problems/issues. |
| 2.6 | Take action on problems and issues. |
|
3 | Determine developments needed in a new or significantly modified system | 3.1 | Identify needs requiring a new system or development of modifications to the current system. |
| 3.2 | Draft scope, specifications and outcomes required. |
| 3.3 | Liaise with key stakeholders and relevant technical experts to refine scope, specifications and outcomes needed in new or modified system. |
| 3.4 | Agree final scope, specifications and outcomes. |
|
4 | Develop system | 4.1 | Develop project plan. |
| 4.2 | Ensure ongoing consultation with all relevant stakeholders. |
| 4.3 | Manage development project. |
| 4.4 | Manage trialling of modified system. |
| 4.5 | Ensure modified system meets organisational requirements. |
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, across an organisation or department/section, to:
analyse organisation needs and match to enterprise control system features
determine critical features required in enterprise control system
modify system/have system modified as a result of trials or changing needs.
Must provide evidence that demonstrates sufficient knowledge to interact with relevant personnel and be able to develop and implement new enterprise control systems, including knowledge of:
capability of resource planning/SCADA systems, as appropriate
information and control needs of organisation/process
project management
support/training/skill development mechanisms available for access by personnel.
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 is best done from a report and/or folio of evidence drawn from:
a single project which provides sufficient evidence of the requirements of all the elements and performance criteria
multiple smaller projects which together provide sufficient evidence of the requirements of all the elements and performance criteria.
A third-party report, or similar, may be needed to testify to the work done by the individual, particularly when the project has been done as part of a project team.
Assessment should use a real project where the development and implementation of new enterprise control systems or modifications/ changes to the current enterprise control system occur in an operational workplace.
Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence 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.
