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.

Critical Aspects of Evidence

Locate, interpret and apply relevant information

Apply safety requirements throughout the work sequence, including the use of personal protective clothing and equipment

Analyse job requirements and materials and equipment capabilities

For a specified and significant production operation organise the implementation of operational plans, including:

conduct of trials

coordination of the production process

evaluation of the production process

reporting on the success of the process

Lead others and work effectively to organise for production

Encourage participation of employees in the planning of work activities and changes

Suggest improvements to production operations and where appropriate, negotiate changes

Resource Implications

Production equipment, raw materials, personnel and production plans and schedules.

Method of Assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.

Context of Assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.


Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

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

research, collect, organise and understand information related to the organisation of production processes, including the relevant technical, regulatory, cultural, environmental and safety requirements

communicate ideas and information to enable clarification of the conceptual requirements, coordination of work with site supervisors, workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of equipment, systems and materials to avoid any back tracking, workflow interruptions or wastage

work with others and foster the team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, complete production computations and estimate material requirements

create and apply systematic problem solving techniques to anticipate production problems, avoid reworking and avoid wastage

use the workplace technology related to production, including machinery, plant, tools and equipment, calculators and measuring devices and computing/computer-aided systems

Required knowledge

organisational and workflow theory

work leadership theory

company business policies and plans, including procedures for setting up for production

company products, market, work systems and equipment

machine processes relevant to the production

quality procedures, inspection and testing requirements

legislative requirements of the work activities

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.

Unit scope

This unit covers the work involved in the operational organisation, preparation, trialling and monitoring of production processes for enterprises within the furnishing industry

Operational resources include personnel, equipment and machinery, production materials and consumables, and infrastructure

Unit context

OHS legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous substances and dangerous goods codes and safe operating procedures

Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, authorised handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements

Work requires individuals to demonstrate conceptual ability, discretion, judgement and problem solving skills

Operational planning information

Information may be obtained from sources such as enterprise production plan/schedule, product drawings and specifications, equipment instructions and capacities, relevant standards, inspection requirements and design rules, customer orders, archives, records and cutting lists

Workplace environment

Work is generally performed with little assistance from others and with minimal supervision or direction

Organising production is undertaken in accordance with established enterprise procedures and practices

Customers or suppliers may be internal or external

Machines/equipment used in the production process may include:

any machine typically used in the furnishing sector concerned

microprocessor or computer-controlled machines

both production and facility equipment used in the enterprise

Materials

Materials to be used include those normally used in the enterprise and the industry

Personal protective equipment

Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices

Information and procedures

Enterprise production plan/schedule

Work procedures/instructions

Manufacturer technical specifications and instructions

Legislation, regulations and codes of practice relevant to the production environment and processes

Quality and Australian standards and procedures

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.
