Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit applies to activities contributing to development of products or processes within the enterprise. It includes conducting trials to establish conformance to requirements. Judgement may be required in planning and selecting appropriate processes or procedures for self and others.
Work may be conducted in restricted spaces or exposed conditions or controlled or open environments
Work responsibilities will vary in scope according to:
size of the workplace
range of designs or products
specialisation in the workplace
workplace quality standards
Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.
This unit is applied according to OHS and workplace practices of the enterprise, which may include:
requirements prescribed by legislation, awards, agreements and conditions of employment
standard operating procedures
work instructions
oral, written and visual communication
quality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team/section output
housekeeping
tasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control and recycling
This unit requires the application of skills associated with planning and organising the development of products or process for production. This unit also requires an ability to work with others in the team to test and asses the quality and feasibility of designs and make adjustments or modifications to specifications. Initiative, enterprise and problem solving will be used to assist in feasibility studies and develop specifications. Learning skills will be used to gather and apply new information.
This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to contribute to developing products or processes within the workplace.
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.
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Critical aspects of evidence to be considered | Demonstrates skills and knowledge to: conduct feasibility studies interpret and develop specifications use specifications appropriately organise and conduct trials assess results of trials |
Consistency in performance | Consistently applies skills and knowledge when: organising work completing tasks identifying improvements using workplace practices using OHS practices recording and reporting accidents and incidents assessing operational readiness of equipment used and work processes recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions completing work systematically with attention to detail without damage to goods and equipment |
Resource implications | Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices. |
Context for assessment | Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment. |
Interdependent assessment | This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units. |

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.
This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit |
Demonstrates knowledge of: industry and product processes product and process development procedures machine or equipment, resource and skill capabilities within the workplace feasibility study procedures safety and environmental aspects of relevant workplace activities reporting processes OHS practices, including hazard identification and control measures quality practices workplace practices recording and reporting practices |
Demonstrates skills to: carry out sampling check and select raw materials interpret specifications establish availability of machines determine availability of required skills and personnel select, interpret and evaluate procedures or processes read, interpret and follow information on work specifications, , standard operating procedures and work instructions and other reference material maintain accurate records communicate within the workplace sequence operations meet specifications clarify and check task-related information carry out work according to OHS practices |
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. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts. | ||
Legislative/regulatory requirements | All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements. | |
Feasibility studies may include: | sampling trial run production consideration of machine capabilities availability of resources required quality cost | |
Conducting trials may relate: | confirmation and clarification of requirements liaison with production area allocating work reviewing and evaluating processes and products performing trials interpreting data analysing results | |
OHS practices | OHS practices must include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit, and may include: manual handling techniques standard operating procedures personal protective equipment safe materials handling taking of rest breaks ergonomic arrangement of workplaces following marked walkways safe storage of equipment housekeeping reporting accidents and incidents other OHS practices relevant to the job and enterprise |
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.
