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 | Develop a shared future state model | 1.1 | Establish an appropriate representative team. |
| 1.2 | Analyse a value stream map of an appropriate section of the value stream. |
| 1.3 | Determine the current state of practice across the value stream. |
| 1.4 | Identify overall organisation strategy, direction and competitive systems and practices philosophy. |
| 1.5 | Validate view with process/system owner. |
|
2 | Develop and review a collaborative best practice model | 2.1 | Develop a future state model of practice. |
| 2.2 | Review model with process/system owners and other stakeholders across the value stream as appropriate. |
| 2.3 | Modify model to deliver better results for the customer and reduce muda. |
| 2.4 | Develop implementation plan in consultation with stakeholders. |
|
3 | Provide the resources necessary to move to the future state | 3.1 | Identify changes required to infrastructure. |
| 3.2 | Determine benefit/cost for required changes. |
| 3.3 | Prioritise required changes. |
| 3.4 | Obtain required authorisations. |
| 3.5 | Facilitate the provision of resources needed to implement plan. |
|
4 | Review future state model | 4.1 | Manage the implementation of improvements. |
| 4.2 | Identify measures of progress towards agreed future state. |
| 4.3 | Review progress towards future state. |
| 4.4 | Agree methods of improving areas which could progress better. |
| 4.5 | Agree on methods for evaluating future state. |
| 4.6 | Validate measures and methods with relevant managers. |
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 develop one (1) or more models of future state operations practice and to:
develop a shared future state model
develop a collaborative best practice model
facilitate the provision of resources allowing for the implementation of the improvement
review progress towards the future state.
Must provide evidence that demonstrates sufficient knowledge to interact with relevant personnel and be able to develop models of future state operations practice, including knowledge of:
key indications of current position or progress towards the future state, such as output quantities and qualities, variability in quality and quantity, uptime, investment hurdle rates and actual rates of return, sustainability indicators, reliability indicators, other key performance indicators (KPIs) appropriate to the organisation and its technology and processes
value stream mapping and analysis
types of muda (waste), causes and costs
competitive systems and practices tools relevant to the organisation and process
techniques for creating and evaluating future state models.
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 activity developing models of future state operations practice for 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.
