Capture learning from daily activities in a manufacturing organisation

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit takes a largely qualitative view of information and knowledge. For a more quantitative approach of capturing and analysing data and applying the knowledge deduced from that refer to MSACMG800A Analyse data for relevance to organisational learning.

This unit is intended for team leaders and people with a similar sphere of influence/scope of authority and responsibility. It applies to individuals who already have knowledge of competitive manufacturing, leading teams, analysing root cause and locking in improvements. Where this is not the case the following units may be completed to supply the necessary skills:

MSACMS401A Ensure process improvements are sustained

MSACMC411A Lead a competitive manufacturing team

MSACMC413A Lead team culture improvement

MSACMT280A Undertake root cause analysis.

This unit may also be applied to service organisations applying competitive manufacturing principles.

This unit covers the capturing of learning from the shop floor, suppliers and customers in order to contribute to a learning manufacturing organisation.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Employability Skills

This unit contains employability skills.




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

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

Demonstrates skills and knowledge required to:

recognise, extract and record learning from daily activities.

In particular look for evidence of:

ongoing additions to the learning system

use of the learning system.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment. Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability.

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required. Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities.

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Manufacturing Training Package.

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge.

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.

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency where required.

Guidance information for assessment

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


Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)


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

problem solving

communication at all levels

use of organisation knowledge system

Required knowledge

competitive manufacturing principles

organisational goals and processes

continuous improvement

communication methods

root cause analysis

expected range of performance for process and products

types of knowledge capture and retrieval systems and their applicability

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.

Codes of practice/standards

Where reference is made to industry codes of practice, and/or Australian/international standards, the latest version must be used

Health, safety and environment (HSE)

All changes implemented are expected to be at least neutral, or preferably beneficial, in their impact on health, safety and environment

Opportunities for feedback

Opportunities for feedback include:

tool box meetings

ad hoc discussions/meetings with team members, sales and marketing employees, other employees, value chain members, regulators and visitors

interviews

process/production records

quality records

plant equipment down time/maintenance records

Problem recognition and resolution

Problem recognition and resolution may be expected to include such approaches as:

stopping the line

go and see

team/consensus problem solving

root cause analysis

Learning

Learning is something which can be passed on and is a recordable event or method which leads to change in work practices and/or process or product performance that is able to be standardised/institutionalised

Record

Appropriate records include systems which ensure knowledge:

is not just retained by an individual

is available to others

survives beyond the departure of individual

has an allocated level of importance

Systems for the capture of knowledge

Systems for the capture of knowledge may be paper based, electronic or other and may include:

clip boards on the line

problem solving templates

procedures templates

white boards or other notice boards

computers or terminals that allow access to data bases and other electronic records

maintenance records

They may also require knowledge of method of knowledge entry and retrieval and possibly of searching/filing/cataloguing

Reviewing the use of learning

Reviewing the use of learning includes:

analysing the cause and effect of integrating learning into current or future procedures

Performance not to expectation/norm

Performance outside the normal range (good or bad) may be expected to have an assignable cause which when identified can add to knowledge

Extract learning

Extracting learning from opportunities may occur:

using a toolbox meeting or other team process

Stakeholders

Stakeholders include:

work team members, value chain members, supervisors as well as other stakeholders

Team leader

Team leader may include:

any person who may have either a permanent or an ad hoc role in facilitating the function of a team in a workplace

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.
