This unit covers the competency to plan and document the overall requirements of production in a furnishing enterprise.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
Nil
This unit contains employability skills.
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 | Interpret/analyse data for production planning Apply workplace health and safety policies in production operations For a significant production requirement: establish and confirm the production requirements prepare the production plan monitor and coordinate variations to the plan maintain records Work effectively with others |
Resource implications | Access to real or appropriately simulated production planning situations in a furnishing enterprise context This includes real or simulated work areas, materials, equipment, and information on work specifications, relevant safety procedures and regulations, quality standards, organisation procedures and customer requirements. |
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/or samples of work and questioning on underpinning knowledge. Assessment should be conducted over time and will generally be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency. |
Context of assessment | Assessment may occur on the job or in a simulated workplace facility with relevant equipment, simulated work instructions and deadlines. |
List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here
Assessment task 1: [title] Due date:
(add new lines for each of the 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 production planning, including the relevant technical, regulatory, cultural, environmental and safety requirements communicate ideas and information to enable clarification of the requirements, coordination of work with managers, supervisors, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems plan and organise activities, including the planning and scheduling of equipment, systems and materials to avoid any backtracking, 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 production computations and establish a statistical base for monitoring operational efficiency, and estimate material requirements create and apply systematic problem solving techniques to anticipate production planning problems, avoid re-working and avoid wastage use the workplace technology related to production planning, including machinery, tools and equipment, calculators, measuring devices and computing/computer-aided systems |
Required knowledge |
production processes, products, machines, planning and forecasting software work and workplace organisation systems suppliers, their capabilities and customer requirements safety and environmental aspects of relevant enterprise activities workplace procedures and reporting/recording processes relevant regulatory requirements and codes of practice |
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 | Work involves planning of production in a furnishing enterprise The competency will relate to the interface between sales/marketing, purchasing and production areas and may involve dealing with the unpredictability of variables, such as sales, raw materials, machinery availability, operator availability and quality variations Production operations may include: repetitive production runs, short runs, quick changes, indent orders, stock replenishment |
Unit context | OHS requirements include 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, analytical and organisational ability, judgement and problem solving skills |
Unit context | Work may be conducted in a large-scale production or small business situation in one of the following sectors: cabinet making wood machining furniture polishing glass and glazing soft furnishing upholstery bed and mattress making floor covering and finishing picture framing and musical instruments Production planning may include the establishment of an overall plan for manufacture/product delivery in conjunction with marketing/merchandising area The competency is applied under limited guidance in line with a broad plan, budget or strategy |
Workplace organisation systems may include: | just in time quick response quality systems team processes and benchmarking |
Machinery/equipment | Machinery/equipment will be that required for the particular sector operations |
Personal protective equipment | Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices |
Information and procedures | Enterprise business plan Production procedures/flows Previous production plans Production and planning policies and other documentation Machine/equipment manufacturer specifications and instructions Organisation work orders Job procedures Work instructions Legislation/regulations/national and industry codes and practices relevant to the production environment and processes |
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.
