Version 1.0
Issue Date: July 2024
This unit applies to a technical expert who is required to design and implement experiments aimed at making breakthrough improvements in the process. They will work with other members of the process team in doing this.
This unit primarily requires the application of skills associated with problem solving, initiative and enterprise, and planning and organising skills in order to identify, implement and evaluate an experiment. Communication skills associated with gathering, interpreting and documenting information are required.
Where this unit forms part of a suite of six sigma then the following units will also be relevant:
MSS403010A Facilitate change in an organisation implementing competitive systems and practices
MSS403051A Mistake proof an operational process
MSS404081A Undertake proactive maintenance analyses
MSS405002A Analyse and map a value stream
MSS405011A Manage people relationships
MSS405050A Determine and improve process capability
MSS405053A Manage application of six sigma for process control and improvement
MSAPMSUP390A Use structured problem solving tools.
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to design experiments. The design of experiments is generally undertaken as part of black-belt six sigma but may also be undertaken independently.
