Adapt work processes to new technologies
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit of competency covers the competence required to investigate the nature of new technologies and modify existing work processes and procedures to incorporate new technologies into the workplace.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
Employability Skills
This unit contains employability skills.
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, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | It is essential that competence is fully observed and there is ability to transfer competence to changing circumstances and to respond to unusual situations in the critical aspects of: investigating the nature of new technologies and modifying existing work processes and procedures to incorporate new technologies into the workplace. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Underpinning knowledge and skills may be assessed on or off the job. Assessment of practical skills must take place only after a period of supervised practice and repetitive experience. If workplace conditions are not available, assessment in simulated workplace conditions is acceptable. Prescribed outcome must be able to be achieved without direct supervision. The following should be made available: technical information, hand tooling, specialised tooling and equipment. |
Method of assessment | Practical assessments: research and adapt a process to a previously unknown technology train staff in use of a new technology compare costs and benefits of a current process and one which incorporates a new technology make a recommendation as to whether a given technology should be introduced to the workplace, taking into consideration the value to the enterprise of the change plan and implement the introduction of a new technology into the workplace, with provision to minimise the impact on workflow and productivity. |

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.
Required skills |
collect, organise and understand information related to adapting work processes to new technologies communicate ideas and information to supervisors related to adapting work processes to new technologies plan and organise activities adapting work processes to new technologies work with others and in a team by seeing and conveying information related to the planning, sequencing and completion of the task use mathematical ideas and techniques to count and measure establish diagnostic processes which adapts work processes to new technologies use the workplace technology related to adapting work processes to new technologies |
Required knowledge |
Knowledge of: enterprise existing activity, processes and procedures relevant to application cost-benefit analysis principles analytical skills, processes and procedures planning, communication and management skills, processes and procedures |
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, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. 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) may also be included. | |
Methods | Methods include: analysis of existing work practices planning communication research |
Processes which may be modified | Processes which may be modified could include: work/repair sequence OHS practices administration and/or documentation stock control |
New technologies | New technologies which could be incorporated into the workplace include: new equipment or tooling, base materials or automotive systems |
Unit context | Workplace example: a body repair involving a multi-layer paint system is encountered for the first time in the workshop. The technician contacts the paint supplier to gather information on the paint system. Other persons might also need to be contacted to gain an understanding of how to effect the repair, such as the paint manufacturer or industry contacts who may have encountered such a paint system before and/or employer bodies. Because normal 'blending' is not possible, alternative methods for colour matching need to be determined after gathering information |
Information/documents | Information/documents may include: manufacturer/component supplier specifications technical journals, including workshop manuals, tune-up manuals enterprise operating procedures customer requirements industry codes of practice legislation |
OHS requirements | OHS requirements may include: state/territory OHS legislation award provisions |
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.
