Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Identify processes generating new knowledge
  2. Develop knowledge capture and retrieval systems
  3. Improve the application of organisational knowledge
  4. Evaluate and improve learning processes

Evidence Required

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Demonstrates skills and knowledge required to

review learning process

In particular look for evidence of

evaluation of components of current system

development of improvements to current system

implementation of improvements

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations including work areas materials and equipment and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices

Where applicable reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity age gender demographics and disability

Access must be provided to appropriate learning andor assessment support when required Where applicable physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Manufacturing Training Package

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts together with application of underpinning knowledge

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application

Assessment may be applied under project related conditions real or simulated and require evidence of process

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance but is able to be transferred to other circumstances

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency where required

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed


Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Codes of practice/standards

Where reference is made to industry codes of practice, and/or Australian/international standards, the latest version must be used

Health, safety and environment (HSE)

All changes implemented are expected to be at least neutral, or preferably beneficial, in their impact on health, safety and environment

Systems for capturing knowledge

Systems for identifying knowledge should cover:

plant and equipment modifications

procedure and practice changes

new plant, equipment, processes

daily problem solving and continuous improvement activities

specific improvement events (e.g. kaizen blitz)

incident reports

reliability/maintenance reports

Current performance

Current performance includes:

output indicators

input indicators

HSE indicators

reliability/maintenance indicators

continuous improvement indicators

Problems

Problems may include:

non-conformances and other opportunities for improvement

Improvements to the knowledge system

Improvements to knowledge systems include:

improving integration of knowledge system with other organisation and value chain development processes

improving identification of new knowledge

improving capture ease and efficiency

improving search and application functionality

Develop

Develop includes:

establishing and improving

Knowledge forms

Knowledge may be:

quantified or otherwise modified to make its outcomes measurable or observable as appropriate to the knowledge and its application

Improvements

Improvements may:

be to process, plant, procedures or practice

include changes to ensure positive benefits are maintained

Manager

Manager may include:

any person who may have either a permanent or an ad hoc role in facilitating the function of multiple teams in a workplace, departments or entire organisations
