Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Identify the constraint and throughput
  • Identify goals and objectives of organisation
  • Identify process to be examined based on organisation goals and objectives
  • Determine throughput of steps in process
  • Identify capacity-constrained process
  • Determine optimum throughput of capacity-constrained process (drum)
  • Determine maximum throughput based on the capacity-constrained process
       
Element: Optimise constraint throughput
  • Determine optimum accumulation (buffer) before capacity-constrained process
  • Determine appropriate supply schedule and trigger (rope) for buffer
  • Provide information and guidance to personnel to implement buffer and rope to match drum
  • Monitor capacity-constrained process to ensure optimum throughput
  • Take required actions to minimise non-productive rate at capacity-constrained process
  • Consult with key stakeholders to confirm or adapt actions to optimise throughput
       
Element: Prioritise processes and resources to maximising output at the constraint
  • Provide information and guidance to personnel to ensure non-constrained locations protect buffers and prevent build-up of work except at buffer locations
  • Identify operations that conflict with maximising constraint performance
  • Determine and guide implementation of measures to address identified conflicts
       
Element: Determine strategy to reduce capacity constraint
  • Examine causes of constrained capacity
  • Develop possible ways of increasing capacity
  • Analyse and rank possible alternatives for increasing capacity
  • Draft strategy for increasing capacity based on analysis
  • Obtain required approval for response strategy
       
Element: Implement a process of ongoing improvement
  • Develop implementation plan appropriate to organisation
  • Undertake implementation in accordance with plan
  • Monitor implementation and modify implementation plan to make improvements
  • Identify next capacity-constrained process and initiate action
       

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)


Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
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.
