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, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to develop and manage a plan for a simple manufacturing related project. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | 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 new and different situations and contexts. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both. Where assessment occurs off the job, i.e. the candidate is not in productive work, an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate. This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with developing and manage a plan for a simple manufacturing related project or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit. |
Method of assessment | Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. |

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 |
Look for evidence that confirms skills in: using computing skills using interpersonal communication skills negotiating report writing reading, interpreting and following information on written job instructions, specifications, standard operating procedures and other applicable reference documents planning and sequencing operations checking and clarifying task-related information |
Required knowledge |
Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of: understanding of applicable regulations and standards appropriate software Gantt charts critical path method (CPM) bar charts work breakdown structures program evaluation and review technique (PERT) basic quality assurance techniques knowledge of availability of resources safe work practices and procedures a basic knowledge of: the project life cycle and the relationship between project phases planning and control procedures, resource management and risk management |
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. | |
Project management tools | May include critical path method (CPM), bar and Gantt charts, work breakdown structures, Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT), project management software packages, recording systems - electronic and manual |
Plan | May include project implementation plans, quality assurance targets, milestones, any planning that relates to time, cost or quality and requires that progress is communicated to others |
Simple manufacturing related project | Projects that are small scale, low risk, managed by one person, carried out under guidance, related to manufacturing processes and products |
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.
Observation Checklist
| Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice | Yes | No | Comments/feedback |
|---|---|---|---|
| A working knowledge of project management tools is used to develop a plan for a simple manufacturing related project and schedule of activities to meet project outcomes. | |||
