List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Element | Performance criteria |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Determine production process requirements | 1.1 Obtain production information for consideration 1.2 Confirm characteristics of the resources under production 1.3 Obtain recent and historical data from organisational records for input to production planning 1.4 Identify potential for improvements or innovations to inform production planning 1.5 Identify production processes required to achieve the targeted production and compare with those that currently exist 1.6 Use production planning information as input to other organisational planning processes 1.7 Establish appropriate biosecurity and Quality Assurance requirements |
2. Determine monitoring requirements and systems | 2.1 Establish targets for each production unit from the organisational management and strategic plans 2.2 Schedule production taking varying organisational factors into consideration 2.3 Establish and include environmental sustainability controls in the production plan 2.4 Establish monitoring points and performance indicators using target, environmental management and scheduling information 2.5 Develop and use risk management strategies when necessary |
3. Monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of production processes | 3.1 Ensure that performance indicators, targets and specifications are met and amendments to the process are made where necessary 3.2 Evaluate the effectiveness of the production processes at key points and make adjustments as necessary 3.3 Identify monitor and assess environmental impacts and workplace health and safety hazards throughout the production cycle 3.4 Modify the production process by shifting priorities and results when necessary 3.5 Analyse data, observations and documentation from the production process against the plan |
4. Record and manage information | 4.1 Prepare recommendations for future plans based on the analysis of production data 4.2 Prepare a report that documents the plan’s implementation 4.2 Create, maintain and keep records and documentation as described in the production plan, the work health and safety requirements, and machinery and equipment management programs 4.4 Ensure that required information is available, accessible, meaningful and useful |
The candidate must be assessed on their ability to integrate and apply the performance requirements of this unit in a workplace setting. Performance must be demonstrated consistently over time and in a suitable range of contexts.
The candidate must provide evidence that they can:
interpret gathered information on production processes
interpret, analyse and extract information from a range sources such as professional literature, contracts, discussions and workshops
identify, build and use network and support groups
observe, identify and react appropriately to environmental implications and work health and safety hazards
assess and adopt profitable innovations
set yield targets and objectives and estimate timelines
contribute to preparing enterprise budgets and financials
implement enterprise work health and safety policies
implement enterprise biosecurity policies
implement enterprise sustainability policies.
The candidate must demonstrate knowledge of:
environmental controls and codes of practice available to the organisation
sustainable management practices
sustainable land use principles and practices applicable in the region
planning processes
biosecurity and Quality Assurance requirements
relevant legislation and regulations relating to production.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessors must satisfy current standards for RTOs.
