Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: June 2024
This unit is intended for managers and people with a similar sphere of influence and scope of authority and responsibility. It is focused on auditing the practice of competitive systems and practices and implementing changes identified through the audit. For a more global unit covering developing the strategic approach adopted by the organisation refer to MSS408001A Develop the competitive systems and practices approach.
The unit includes monitoring workplace practice and the application of selected tools and taking action to ensure progress is continuing towards the desired future state.
The unit applies to individuals who are familiar with competitive systems and practices and with a broad range of competitive tools with depth in a moderate range of tools. Where this is not the case the following units which deal more with the selection and introduction of the correct tools for the organisation may be completed:
MSS405001A Develop competitive systems and practices for an organisation
MSS405007A Introduce competitive systems and practices to a small or medium enterprise.
This unit may also be applied to service organisations applying competitive systems and practices principles.
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to audit the use of competitive systems and practices tools, modify a tool or its application and change the mix of tools used as appropriate. It also covers changing the emphasis and culture away from the use of competitive systems and practices tools as the main focus to taking a whole of enterprise approach with the tools being seen as supporting measures to strategic goals. The unit has a more strategic focus than MSS407002A Review operations practice tools and techniques.
