Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit applies to an environment where continuous improvement in a manufacturing enterprise is being undertaken.
The team leader or other responsible person facilitates and implements methods of ensuring that these improvements are sustained.
Improvement initiatives can be made by any number of methods and by teams or individuals. The unit assumes that desired levels of performance or quality are known to the team leader.
The unit covers ensuring that team members implement the modified processes so that improvements are sustained and opportunities are taken to suggest further improvements. This unit comes from the Competitive Manufacturing Initiative group of competency standards.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to ensure that the gains which have been made by using improved methods, processes and equipment are sustained as the new standard for the team's area of work and so prevent regression to former practices or digression to less efficient practices.
