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, the required skills and knowledge, the range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the Elements, Performance Criteria, Required Skills, Required Knowledge and include:

accurately forecasting inventory demand

planning for inventory required to meet special events or contingencies.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Performance is demonstrated consistently over time and in a suitable range of contexts.

Resources for assessment include access to:

industry-approved marine operations site where managing stores for planned maintenance system can be conducted

tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry

relevant regulatory and equipment documentation that impacts on work activities

range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulated practical and knowledge assessments

appropriate range of relevant operational situations in the workplace.

In both real and simulated environments, access is required to:

relevant and appropriate materials and equipment

applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.

Method of assessment

Practical assessment must occur in an:

appropriately simulated workplace environment and/or

appropriate range of situations in the workplace.

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate to this unit:

direct observation of the candidate managing stores for planned maintenance system

direct observation of the candidate applying relevant WHS/OHS requirements and work practices.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.

In all cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess Required Knowledge.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language and literacy requirements of the work being performed and the capacity of the candidate.

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.

Required Skills:

Anticipate interruptions to supply

Avoid surplus holdings and wastage

Calculate materials and other resource requirements and costs

Correctly calculate inventory requirements taking into account lead times, re-order triggers, impacts of turnover and supply margins

Cost and document requirements

Identify appropriate materials and consumables to match maintenance standards

Identify commercially viable sources of consumables and materials

Identify the impact of decisions in terms of commercial, environmental and safety risks

Plan and organise activities to avoid any back tracking, workflow interruptions or wastage

Research information related to inventory including the relevant technical, regulatory, environmental and safety requirements

Required Knowledge:

Authorised maintenance processes and plans, and related materials and consumables

Commercial supply systems including standard documentation support processes

Cost-benefit analysis or equivalent techniques

Inventory and operations management approaches

Inventory control

Materials, process characteristics and special requirements

Systems and equipment for inventory recording and control

Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and work 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.

Materials requirements may include:

Appropriate oils and grease

Cleaning material

Machinery spare parts

Mooring ropes and wires

Paint

Shackles and other lifting equipment

Tools, hand and power

Stock control may include:

Cyclical counts

Minimisation of out-of-date stock

Monitoring stock levels

Quality control

Stocktaking

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.
