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 | Determine job requirements | 1.1 | Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) |
| 1.2 | Comply with WHS requirements at all times |
| 1.3 | Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs |
| 1.4 | Identify job requirements from specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions |
|
2 | Prepare to plan tasks | 2.1 | Discuss planning requirements with supervisor and confirm work brief |
| 2.2 | Confirm timeline, jobs and work priorities associated with planning tasks with supervisor or manager |
| 2.3 | Check workplace procedures and documentation relating to planning tasks and identify key personnel |
|
3 | Conduct planning task | 3.1 | Communicate with team, section or individuals and key personnel to seek support for planning task requirements |
| 3.2 | Assess and apply relevant criteria from previous and current work practices, organisational guidelines, documentation systems and quality standards to planning task |
| 3.3 | Use planning tools and techniques to coordinate and sequence tasks and integrate WHS practices to develop plan that meets workplace requirements |
| 3.4 | Test plan with key personnel and adjust, as required |
|
4 | Implement plan | 4.1 | Communicate all plan information in an effective way to work team, section and individuals |
| 4.2 | Seek feedback from team, section members and individuals to support effective operation of team or section |
| 4.3 | Monitor implementation of plan, and identify and apply changes, where required, to improve outcomes |
| 4.4 | Document plan and implementation practices |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include:
reading and following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), safe work practices
applying relevant standards
planning and organising work tasks, work processes and staff
using suitable planning techniques
meeting work process efficiency standards
communicating all plan information in an effective way to work team, section and individuals, and seeking and acting upon feedback, as appropriate
using planning tools and techniques to coordinate and sequence tasks and integrate work health and safety (WHS) practices to develop plan that meets workplace requirements
monitoring implementation of plan, and identifying and applying changes, where required, to improve outcomes
documenting plan and implementation practices.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
relevant Australian Standards
production and work flow system
factors and constraints that impact on task
effective work methods to achieve production objectives and timelines
planning tools and techniques
documentation practices
quality standards and procedures
scheduling techniques
resourcing policies
general staffing levels, capabilities and application of standard times
workplace procedures
recording and reporting practices.
Assessors must:
satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment, as set by the VET regulator
have vocational competency in planning tasks to assist production operations, at least to the level being assessed, with relevant industry knowledge and experience.
Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
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.
The unit is applicable to all TCF sectors and assessment must ensure it is delivered to suit the industry it is being applied to.
