Manage glass industry production scheduling

Formats and tools

Unit Description
Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
Assessment Tool
an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
Assessment Template
generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
Assessment Matrix
a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
Wiki Markup
mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
Evidence Guide
create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
Competency Mapping Template
Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
Observation Checklist
create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)

Self Assessment Survey
A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
Moodle Outcomes
Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x

Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

1.2

Production priorities are identified and confirmed

2

Confirm resources needed to meet production requirements

2.1

Stock levels of raw materials/ingredients, packaging components and consumables are confirmed against production requirements

2.2

Equipment capacity and human resources to meet production requirements are determined

3

Develop the production schedule

3.1

Production schedule is developed to meet demand and delivery timelines within production capacity and budget

3.2

Production schedule establishes the stock levels, storage capacity, equipment capacity and product mix to minimise stock and product holdings and maximise production efficiency

3.3

Communication with other key production personnel is established and maintained

3.4

Production schedule is recorded and made available to relevant personnel in a timely manner format

4

Monitor production

4.1

Production is monitored to identify any actual or potential barriers to achieving the schedule

4.2

Resource usage rates are monitored regularly to identify potential shortages

4.3

Unplanned events that could affect the schedule are identified, assessed and appropriate action plans in place

5

Adjust production schedules

5.2

Resource implications of amended schedules are identified with resources accessed to meet requirements

5.3

Any potential failure to meet delivery deadlines is identified and communicated to relevant personnel in a timely manner and schedule documentation amended, as required

6

6.1

Production scheduling process is reviewed to identify opportunities for improvement with variances in production against schedule identified, investigated and reported

6.2

Personnel responsible for implementing the schedule are consulted to identify improvement opportunities and the scheduling process revised to reflect improvements
