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. | Analyse and document system requirements | 1.1 | Identify and document customer or contractual system requirements and relevant regulatory requirements |
| | 1.2 | Set up a systems engineering team and allocate responsibilities |
| | 1.3 | Analyse system requirements and define functional requirements and design constraints |
2. | Perform functional analysis and allocation | 2.1 | Decompose system functions to lower-level functions applicable to system design |
| | 2.2 | Allocate design constraints to all functional levels |
| | 2.3 | Define and refine internal and external functional interfaces |
| | 2.4 | Define, refine and integrate functional architecture |
| | 2.5 | Review functional analysis outcomes against requirements and revise where necessary |
| | 2.6 | Develop and document the functional baseline |
3. | Manage preliminary design activities | 3.1 | Coordinate the development of performance specifications for the system and components |
| | 3.2 | Define alternatives for system concepts, components and system elements |
| | 3.3 | Select preferred product and process solutions |
| | 3.4 | Define and refine internal and external physical interfaces |
| | 3.5 | Define and refine system software requirements |
| | 3.6 | Develop and document the allocated baseline |
4. | Manage the detail design activities | 4.1 | Coordinate the development of item, process and material specifications |
| | 4.2 | Coordinate the development of software specifications |
| | 4.3 | Coordinate the development of engineering drawings and associated material/component/hardware lists |
| | 4.4 | Coordinate the development of item performance specifications |
| | 4.5 | Determine product review and design verification procedures |
| | 4.6 | Develop and document the product baseline |
5. | Provide oversight of production and delivery | 5.1 | Apply product review and verification procedures and initiate action to remedy design or production deficiencies |
| | 5.2 | Ensure that all relevant regulatory requirements are being met |
6. | Provide for life-cycle management of the system, components and software | 6.1 | Where there is a contractual requirement for application of CM, provide the technical data package and define the configuration items and baselines |
| | 6.2 | Where there is a contractual requirement for ILS, provide the technical data package and data required for the development of the relevant ILS plans |
| | 6.3 | Where there are no contractual requirements regarding life-cycle management, deliver the technical data package and develop procedures for the management of the configuration of the system, system components and software that meet relevant regulatory requirements |
Evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria under the specified conditions of assessment, and must include:
setting up and managing procedures for systems analysis and control that comply with relevant airworthiness regulations
setting up and managing a systems engineering team
developing and implementing procedures for identification of systems engineering process inputs
managing, and recording the outcomes of, requirements analysis
managing and recording the outcomes of functional analysis and allocation and apply the requirements loop process
developing and documenting the functional baseline
managing the development of the system specification and preliminary design
developing and documenting the allocated baseline
applying the design loop process
managing the detail design process and using outputs to develop a technical data package that meets airworthiness regulatory requirements
developing and documenting the product baseline
maintaining oversight of the production and delivery phase
providing process outputs for the establishment of CM procedures or ILS plans
determining requirements for life-cycle management where CM or ILS is not required and setting up and documenting a life-cycle management system that complies with relevant airworthiness regulations.
Evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:
the systems engineering process and management procedures, including relevant airworthiness regulations
how to set up and manage the activities of a systems engineering design team
development of specifications and standards
identification of applicable published specifications and standards
how to set up and manage a systems analysis and control database
how to use process outputs to set up CM and ILS systems for through-life management
how to develop and document an applicable life-cycle management system where CM or ILS is not prescribed or is inappropriate
ethical considerations in systems engineering.
This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is, the candidate is not in productive work, then a simulated working environment must be used that reflects realistic workplace situations and conditions.
The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team.
Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability.
Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application.
Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process.
Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in managing the application of the systems engineering process.
Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency where required.
Assessors must satisfy the requirements of the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (Australian Skills Quality Authority, or its successors).
