Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to apply continuous improvement to the use of competitive systems and practices tools and techniques, that is, facilitating the right use of the right tool at the right time and reviewing its application.
This unit applies to team leaders and people with a similar sphere of influence and scope of authority and responsibility. It covers the reviewing of competitive tools used by an organisation which has already embarked on a competitive systems and practices path and is driven by the pull of its customers.
The unit includes checking that the relevant competitive systems and practices tools are being consistently and correctly applied across the entire organisation to enhance customer and organisation value. It also includes reviewing the processes used to identify when additional or different competitive systems and practices tools should be applied.
This unit applies to individuals who have a broad knowledge of all major competitive tools with in-depth application knowledge of several tools that are relevant to the organisation and familiarity with a define, measure, analyse, improve, control (DMAIC), or similar, approach.
This unit may also be applied to service organisations applying competitive systems and practices principles.
No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
