Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

MSFFT5001 - Evaluate and select production materials and equipment

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Determine production requirements

  1. Requirements for production activities are identified, including the types of products produced and related materials and equipment, quantities of products in order, in store, in production, storage and handling requirements and stock management methods
  2. A rating system is developed to facilitate comparisons of cost/benefits and other qualitative properties of equipment and systems

Gather data and specifications

  1. Current best practice and future trends for manufacturing the products are assessed to establish comparisons and benchmarks
  2. Steps required for production processes are identified and flow charts produced, where necessary
  3. Specifications are identified to match the production process
  4. Consultations are conducted with relevant employees and management to identify additional or altered specifications
  5. Materials, tooling, and/or equipment requirements for the production are identified and documented
  6. Existing equipment and stock on hand is evaluated to match requirements of the proposed operations
  7. Work health and safety (WHS) requirements to provide safe work systems for the equipment and materials are identified, including associated training requirements, work practices and equipment
  8. Appropriate data is compiled
