Documentation on the outcomes of the step-through and monitoring of the operations of the electronic/ microprocessor controlled equipment related to automotive development, and any related fault rectification action is stored and/or distributed to appropriate personnel 5.4. System/data/program is backed up where applicable |
Required Skills
This section describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit. |
Required skills |
speak clearly and directly in order to report malfunctions of electronic/microprocessor controlled equipment apply teamwork to a range of situations, including the programming of computerised equipment solve problems particularly in teams in order to meet performance indicators show initiative in adapting to changing work conditions or contexts particularly when working across a variety of work areas access, interpret and apply information on relevant organisation policies, procedures and instructions, particularly to ensure appropriate systems, data and programs are backed up routinely manage time when planning, preparing and organising work priorities take responsibility for organising own work priorities. |
Required knowledge |

Evidence Required
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Evidence of the following is essential: compliance with relevant legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and organisation policies and procedures for programming and monitoring electronic/microprocessor controlled equipment related to automotive development, final control modules and other computerised equipment working and communicating effectively and positively with others involved in the work applying, within authority, the requirements of the job or work role in relation to: using computers and computerised equipment using displays in plant, tooling, equipment or systems achieving work quality goals completing work area housekeeping requirements including the documentation of project activity and process outcomes. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | assessment of the competency should take place in a safe working environment in a passenger motor vehicle manufacturing plant or simulated environment using tools/equipment/machinery required for the production process without undue disruption to the production process assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints. |
Method of assessment | A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit: assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of organisation 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. |
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 in the Performance Criteria is detailed below. Add any 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. | |
