Unit of Competency MSFFT4002 - Customise stock lines
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency covers identifying and clarifying customer and stock requirements; analysing and selecting options; and developing, implementing and testing customisation processes necessary to adapt stock lines to meet the requirements of a furnishing enterprise.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessors must:

hold training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) or its successors

have vocational competency in the furnishing industry at least to the level being assessed with broad industry knowledge and experience, usually combined with a relevant industry qualification

be familiar with the current skills and knowledge used and have relevant, current experience in the furnishing industry.

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time rather than a single assessment event and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, multimedia evidence, supervisor’s reports, projects and work samples.

Assessment is to be conducted on single units of competency or in conjunction with other related units of competency. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance in the unit and should not be assessed separately.

Assessment must occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process, equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.

Access is required to stock lines, including design, production specifications and procedures, customer requirements and access to realistic customisation options.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Assess requirements
  • Customer/specification is consulted to determine requirements
  • Cost and feasibility of requirements are evaluated and development requirements are explored taking into consideration process, material, quantity, cost and outcome requirements
  • Codes, regulations and technical documentation are consulted to establish design limitations, where applicable
  • Specialist expertise is consulted as required
       
Element: Propose options
  • Options for the use and modification of stock lines are defined and proposed to the customer to determine most appropriate modifications
  • Modification of stock lines is considered to take into account production, facility, ergonomic requirements, work health and safety (WHS) and environmental factors
       
Element: Develop modifications to stock lines
  • Modifications are developed to meet customer specifications/standards, use and all legislative or regulatory requirements
  • Verification of the development is undertaken in accordance with workplace procedures
       
Element: Coordinate implementation and testing of modifications
  • Implementation of modifications is arranged and coordinated
  • Outcome is tested and assessed to establish conformance to requirements
  • Variations to the design are carried out where necessary
  • Documentation is prepared to meet all requirements

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Unit context includes:

work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, manual handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements

work involves customisation of existing stock lines to satisfy particular site and/or customer requirements

work is performed with little external assistance and with minimal supervision or direction. The development of modifications may require the assistance and cooperation of others

work requires individuals to demonstrate conceptual and analytical ability, discretion, judgement and problem solving skills

customers may be internal or external

Personal protective equipment includes:

that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices

Information and procedures include:

product drawings, prototype, design brief, patterns and specifications

machine manufacturer specifications and operational procedures

work instructions, including job sheets, cutting lists, plans, drawings and designs

workplace procedures relating to reporting and communication

manufacturer specifications and operational procedures

quality and Australian Standards and procedures

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
