Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to audit the use of competitive systems and practices tools, modify a tool or its application and change the mix of tools used as appropriate. It also covers changing the emphasis and culture away from the use of competitive systems and practices tools as the main focus to taking a whole of enterprise approach with the tools being seen as supporting measures to strategic goals.This unit is intended for managers and people with a similar sphere of influence and scope of authority and responsibility. It is focused on auditing the practice of competitive systems and practices and implementing changes identified through the audit. The unit includes monitoring workplace practice and the application of selected tools and taking action to ensure progress is continuing towards the desired future state. It applies to individuals who are familiar with competitive systems and practices and with a broad range of competitive tools with depth in a moderate range of tools. This unit may also be applied to service organisations applying competitive systems and practices principles.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. The unit should be assessed holistically and the judgement of competence shall be based on a holistic assessment of the evidence. The collection of performance evidence is best done from a report and/or folio of evidence drawn from: a single project which provides sufficient evidence of the requirements of all the elements and performance criteria multiple smaller projects which together provide sufficient evidence of the requirements of all the elements and performance criteria. A third-party report, or similar, may be needed to testify to the work done by the individual, particularly when the project has been done as part of a project team. Assessment should use a real project where auditing the practice of competitive systems and practices and implementing changes identified through the audit occurs in an operational workplace. Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence or through an independent process such as workbooks, written assessments or interviews (provided a record is kept). 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. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately. Assessors must satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment as set by the VET regulator. The assessor must demonstrate both technical competency and currency. Technical competence can be demonstrated through: relevant VET or other qualification/Statement of Attainment AND/OR relevant workplace experience Currency can be demonstrated through: performing the competency being assessed as part of current employment OR having consulted with an organisation providing relevant environmental monitoring, management or technology services about performing the competency being assessed within the last twelve months. |
