Control production

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to manage production of a shift or section.

It applies to individuals who perform a broad range of skilled tasks relating to the printing and graphic arts industry, and who may also provide some leadership and guidance to others in the application and planning of the skills.

No licensing, legislative 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.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Identify requirements for efficient production

1.1 Machine operations, staff and production processes are organised to meet production requirements

1.2 Recommendations are made related to requirements and according to enterprise procedures, work health and safety (WHS) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements

1.3 Quality standards and safe work practices are checked to ensure compliance with enterprise procedures and legislative requirements

2. Monitor production efficiency

2.1 Compliance to specified requirements (including quality standards, time taken, wastage) is checked to ensure efficiency is maintained

2.2 Non-compliance is identified, reported or recorded and investigated to determine causes

3. Implement improvements to production efficiency

3.1 Corrective or preventive action is recommended and implemented where appropriate

3.2 Changes are communicated to relevant personnel in a logical and easily understood manner

3.3 Changes are monitored to confirm improvement to production efficiency

Evidence of the ability to:

effectively manage a shift or sections production

create a portfolio of documents showing how:

machine operations, staff and production processes are organised

quality standards and safe work practices are checked for compliance with procedures and legislative requirements

production is monitored for compliance

production improvement are identified, recorded, reported and implemented.
(Suitable documents for the portfolio include production summaries, quality-related documentation and testimonials from superiors and workers being supervised.)

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

Requirements for efficient production standards

describe the work health and safety requirements for production control

explain how the production process information is obtained

outline quality standards to check to ensure enterprise procedures are met

outline quality standards to check to ensure environmental protection requirements are met

identify monitoring systems available to aid production management

Maintaining production efficiency

identify problems that could cause non-compliance of production efficiency and how they can occur

describe what information is necessary to efficiently plan, schedule and reschedule production

Improving production efficiency

identify who has authority to implement production changes

describe the information that needs to be communicated to implement changes to production control.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the Support field of work and include access special purpose tools, equipment and materials.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.


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.

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.
