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!

MSS015044 - Design sustainable product or process

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

Negotiate product parameters for low sustainability impact

  1. Consult with customer to determine apparent need and desired function and features of product
  2. Determine customer expectations in relation to sustainability impact of product
  3. Identify market, expected time to market and cost constraints of product and production process
  4. Identify desired functions and features likely to generate significant sustainability impacts throughout life of product
  5. Source and analyse specialist advice, stakeholder input and other information to identify alternatives with lower sustainability impacts
  6. Provide rationale and negotiate with stakeholders to refine product functions and features to reduce sustainability impacts
  7. Develop and document agreed initial product parameters
