The unit applies to the automotive and related component manufacturing environment and involves application of skills and knowledge at a production worker level. These skills and knowledge are to be used within the scope of the person's job and authority.
This unit describes the application of the required skills and knowledge to manage personal workplaces to achieve work production and quality goals.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Evidence Required
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.
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 legislative, regulations, standards, codes of practice and establish safe practices and organisation policies and procedures for managing personal work priorities
maintaining a working knowledge of current work systems and practices
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:
achieving production goals
achieving work quality goals
responding positively to changing work requirements
contributing effectively to cost reduction initiatives
effectively applying problem solving techniques
modify activities to cater for variations in organisation context and environment.
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 must take place in accordance with the endorsed Assessment Guidelines for the Automotive Industry
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.
Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.
Required skills
speak clearly and directly to communicate with colleagues to maintain work production goals
apply teamwork to a range of situations
solve problems, particularly in teams paying attention to performance indicators to reflect changed circumstances
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
manage time when planning, preparing and organising work priorities
problem identification and resolution techniques
take responsibility for organising own work priorities.
Required knowledge
environmental regulations and organisation policies and procedures needed to carry out work in a manner which ensures the safety of people, equipment and the environment. The specific regulations will vary according to the area of operation
organisation technical work documentation covering procedures, specifications, schedules and work plans or equivalent
organisation quality system documentation covering instructions, procedures, performance indicators and review processes or equivalent
organisation cost minimisation/waste avoidance policies, procedures and practices
environmental protection requirements relating to the disposal of waste material
established communication channels and protocols.
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.
Appropriate personnel may include:
supervisors
team members
team leaders
suppliers
clients and managers.
Quality performance indicators may include:
those established within each organisation quality system and may include identification
minimisation and elimination of defects
product/component specifications, tolerances
inspection systems
packaging specifications
non-conforming parts or products.
Changes in work requirements may result from variations in:
process change
line speed
interruptions to parts supply/quality and personnel absences.
Cost performance indicators may include:
cost benchmarks
waste avoidance
power conservation
productivity achievement
continuous improvement levels.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
