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 | Determine the basis of product organisation | 1.1 | Identify stock keeping units (SKUs) for analysis. |
| 1.2 | Determine relevant metric as the basis of organisation. |
| 1.3 | Determine time basis for analysis. |
| 1.4 | Collect selected metric over the time period for each SKU. |
|
2 | Apply analysis tool | 2.1 | Select appropriate analysis tool. |
| 2.2 | Apply the tool. |
| 2.3 | Test for sensitivity, as appropriate. |
| 2.4 | Confirm ranking of product groupings. |
| 2.5 | Tabulate and communicate the results. |
|
3 | Develop a strategic response to the results | 3.1 | Analyse product groupings for opportunities for increased flow based on customer pull and elimination of waste. |
| 3.2 | Select relevant competitive systems and practices tools. |
| 3.3 | Develop a strategy deployment plan. |
| 3.4 | Obtain required approvals. |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include the ability to organise products into groups on one (1) or more occasions and to:
determine the basis for the organisation
apply an appropriate analysis tools
test sensitivity
develop a strategic response.
Must provide evidence that demonstrates knowledge relevant to their job role sufficient to fulfil their job role independently, including:
methodologies for sorting of products and service events and their advantages and disadvantages (e.g. Pareto analysis and the Glenday Sieve)
analysing operations to identify current batching and non-flow related activities
identifying opportunities for increased customer pull and flow-based operations
ways of developing a strategic response.
The unit should be assessed holistically and the judgement of competence shall be based on a holistic assessment of the evidence.
The collection of performance evidence is best done from a report and/or folio of evidence drawn from:
a single project which provides sufficient evidence of the requirements of all the elements and performance criteria
multiple smaller projects which together provide sufficient evidence of the requirements of all the elements and performance criteria.
A third-party report, or similar, may be needed to testify to the work done by the individual, particularly when the project has been done as part of a project team.
Assessment should use a real activity of organising products into groups in an operational workplace.
Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence or through an independent process such as workbooks, written assessments or interviews (provided a record is kept).
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.
Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately.
Assessors must satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment as set by the VET regulator.
The assessor must demonstrate both technical competency and currency.
Technical competence can be demonstrated through:
relevant VET or other qualification/Statement of Attainment AND/OR
relevant workplace experience
Currency can be demonstrated through:
performing the competency being assessed as part of current employment OR
having consulted with an organisation providing relevant environmental monitoring, management or technology services about performing the competency being assessed within the last twelve months.
