Adapt work processes to new technologies in an automotive workplace

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes the performance outcomes required to investigate the nature of new technologies, and modify existing work processes and procedures to incorporate the new technologies.

It applies to those working in the automotive industry. It involves adapting work processes and new technologies in an automotive service or repair workplace or an automotive office administration environment.

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.

Elements

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance Criteria

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold and italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section.

1. Investigate the new technology

1.1 Information is obtained on new technology through a range of sources and in line with workplace expectations and procedures

1.2 New technologies of value to the workplace are identified and evaluated to determine their application and suitability

1.3 Impact of new technologies on existing work processes is identified and analysed

1.4 Information about additional materials and equipment required to adopt the technology is sourced and evaluated

2. Modify existing work processes and procedures

2.1 Action plan is prepared to implement new technology into work processes

2.2 Processes are modified to incorporate new technologies

2.3 Impact on workflow and productivity is analysed and minimised through planning process and communication with staff

2.4 Information on the use of new technologies is communicated to staff, as required

Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standards defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:

conduct research and collate information on one new piece of technology to be adopted in the automotive workplace

prepare an action plan outlining the modification of existing work processes and staff training required to incorporate above new piece of technology into the workplace.

Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

existing workplace activity, processes and procedures relevant to implementation of specific new technology

sources of information on new technology, including:

internet

manufacturer or component supplier specifications

technical journals and manuals

workshops, information sessions, and trade shows

procedures for cost-benefit analysis of opportunities and risks, considering:

cost savings

customer satisfaction

marketing opportunities

new business opportunities

payback period

profit margins

short and long-term benefits

key features of action or implementation plan covering:

timelines

costs

business case or purpose

team or section requirements

procedures for documenting action or implementation plans:

checklists

written documents

visual management board and items.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.

Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to having adapted work processes to new technologies in an automotive workplace, e.g. action plans.

Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.

The following resources must be made available:

automotive service and repair workplace or simulated workplace

sources of information about new technologies

tools and materials to research information

computer hardware and software and general office equipment.


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 section specifies work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.

Sources must include:

desk-based research

consultation with technical sources

training and information sessions.

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.
