Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions. |
1. Establish production requirements | 1.1 Analyse workplace health and safety (WHS), environmental and regulatory requirements for production. 1.2 Interpret data from sales and market forecasts for inclusion in production plan. 1.3 Analyse specifications and supporting data. 1.4 Project requirements for product quantity, raw materials, quality and performance characteristics. 1.5 Analyse and check production capacity of machines and personnel. 1.6 Assess resources, including raw material supply requirements for production line. |
2. Prepare production plan | 2.1 Review production procedures for suitability to planned schedule. 2.2 Source and check information to include in production plan. 2.3 Prepare production plan in line with organisational formats. 2.4 Evaluate inefficiencies and constraints and amend final plan to incorporate improvements. |
3. Monitor implementation and modify plan | 3.1 Obtain and record production output details in line with organisational procedures. 3.2 Monitor and evaluate production and output against plan to ensure production performance is efficient and effective. 3.3 Record and action process improvements based on construction plans, components and hardware utilised. 3.4 Modify plans to reflect stock, machine and human resource requirements or variations. 3.5 Coordinate implementation of plan variations to ensure changed instructions and specifications are followed. 3.6 Maintain production planning records and complete reports in line with organisational procedures. |
