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.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Develop operational strategies and procedures | 1.1 | Action plan is developed to provide a clear and coherent direction according to organisational goals and objectives |
1.2 | Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) and environmental issues are identified, and strategies are implemented to minimise risk factors |
1.3 | Quality system is developed for vessel in line with industry standards, compliance and organisational requirements |
1.4 | Performance measures and operational targets are developed to conform with business plan |
1.5 | Procedures are established and implemented according to organisational and legislative requirements |
1.6 | Procedures are communicated to crew members |
2 | Supervise crew compliance with regulatory requirements | 2.1 | Regulatory body requirements are correctly interpreted and applied |
2.2 | Instructions for crew members are developed and implemented |
2.3 | Crew members are briefed |
2.4 | Liaison with regulatory body officials is undertaken |
3 | Plan resources for vessel operations | 3.1 | Vessel resource and equipment requirements are investigated and documented |
3.2 | Resource needs are prioritised and matched to vessel budget, and priorities are confirmed after consultation with crew members |
3.3 | Procurement plan with prioritised purchasing is devised and resources are procured accordingly |
4 | Plan vessel operations logistics | 4.1 | Operational work plans are developed |
4.2 | Operations are checked to ensure optimum use of human and physical resources |
4.3 | Tasks are implemented according to plans and specifications |
4.4 | Operational plans are implemented and crew members are briefed as to roles and responsibilities |
4.5 | Operational plans are documented and amended according to procedures and crew expectations |
4.6 | Proposed variations are investigated and negotiated in consultation with crew members |
5 | Evaluate operational processes | 5.1 | Operational progress is closely monitored against required quality of work and adherence to both budget and time schedule |
5.2 | Opportunities for preventative or corrective changes are identified using outcomes of monitoring activities and feedback from crew members |
5.3 | Preventative and/or corrective action is recommended and implemented |
5.4 | Changes are communicated to appropriate persons in a logical and easily understood manner |
5.5 | Changes are monitored to confirm improvement in crew efficiency |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least one occasion and include:
collecting, organising and understanding information related to vessel resource and logistic requirements
communicating ideas and information to enable input from crew and understanding by crew of plans developed
completing a review of and updating the process for, vessel operations
developing effective planning documents
liaising with other crew members on a range of operational issues and challenges
monitoring and responding to compliance issues and measuring progress against agreed objectives
planning and organising activities including consulting with crew to determine resource and logistics requirements, and developing, implementing and reviewing operational plans
undertaking a job safety analysis for working in areas of high risk
using information gathering techniques to determine crew requirements and developing strategies to address these
using mathematical techniques to correctly interpret budgets and estimate material requirements.
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:
analytical tools
decision-making models and techniques
information gathering strategies
logistics and procurement management techniques
operational plan development
resource availability.
Assessors must satisfy National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (NVR)/Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) assessor requirements.
Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that reflect workplace conditions.
Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
Resources for assessment must include access to:
tools, equipment, machinery, materials and personal protective equipment currently used in industry
applicable documentation such as legislation, regulations, codes of practice, workplace procedures and operational manuals
range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations.
