Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit applies to an individual responsible for the introduction of improvement systems across an organisation. The systems will include a continuous improvement system sometimes also known as kaizen, and breakthrough improvement sometimes known as kaizen blitz. The continuous improvement (kaizen) system consists of strategies for continuously monitoring for and implementation of incremental improvements to processes, operations and products. Breakthrough improvement ‘events’ (kaizen blitz) covers the identification of improvement opportunities that are best undertaken in a single exercise.This unit primarily requires the application of skills associated with teamwork, problem solving, initiative and enterprise, and planning and organising skills in order to identify, implement and institutionalise kaizen activity. Communication skills are required to gather information and consult with team members and other stakeholders. This unit also requires aspects of self-management and learning to ensure feedback and new learning is integrated into continual improvement. Depending on the starting point for the continuous improvement program in the enterprise other relevant units may need to be selected, including:MSS402080A Undertake root cause analysis MSS405011A Manage people relationships MSS405040A Manage 5S system in an organisationMSAPMSUP390A Use structured problem solving tools. | ||
