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 | Review production scheduling | 1.1 | Review production schedule to determine effective machinery operation, time and cost efficiency in the use of facilities, and suitable use of personnel |
| 1.2 | Make recommendations for improvement or change, as appropriate |
| 1.3 | Modify schedule according to recommendations or in line with production requirements and workplace procedures, as required |
|
2 | Facilitate resolution of work flow problem | 2.1 | Facilitate meetings to identify methods to solve process or work flow problems |
| 2.2 | Use knowledge of process improvement and efficient production techniques and systems to assist in identifying and resolving process or work flow problems |
| 2.3 | Recommend and document preferred option to resolve the problem |
| 2.4 | Contribute to implementing the recommended problem resolution option, in accordance with work health and safety (WHS) practices |
|
3 | Monitor production improvements or variations | 3.1 | Monitor improvements or variations to production to ensure outcome meets specifications, production schedule and workplace requirements |
| 3.2 | Collate and analyse data to evaluate the effectiveness of production improvements or variations |
| 3.3 | Make decisions on improvements or variations to production within limits of management responsibility |
|
4 | Create records and reports | 4.1 | Maintain management records and prepare reports, where necessary |
| 4.2 | Make presentations on production performance and developments at management meetings |
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
interpreting and analysing data for production planning
reviewing production schedule to determine effective machinery operation, time and cost efficiency in the use of facilities, and suitable use of personnel
using knowledge of process improvement and efficient production techniques and systems to assist in identifying and resolving process or work flow problems
communicating effectively within the workplace, including liaising with other departments, to monitor efficiency of production and resolve workflow problems
monitoring improvements or variations to production to ensure outcome meets specifications, production schedule and workplace requirements
collating and analysing data to evaluate the effectiveness of production improvements or variations and assessing work health and safety (WHS) compliance
maintaining records and preparing reports for presenting information to relevant personnel.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
relevant Australian Standards
management and production processes, machines and production software
workplace and work organisation systems
enterprise products and material or fabric structure
work flow control techniques and methods to resolve associated work flow problems
WHS and environmental aspects of relevant enterprise activities
workplace procedures and reporting or recording processes
relevant regulatory requirements and codes of practice
hazard identification and control measures associated with managing production operations.
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 managing production processes, 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.
