Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Identify requirements for efficient production
   • Machine operations, staff and production processes are organised to meet production requirements
   • Recommendations are made related to requirements and according to enterprise procedures, OHS and EPA requirements
   • Quality standards and safe work practices are checked to ensure compliance with enterprise procedures and legislative requirements
2. Monitor production efficiency
   • Compliance to specified requirements (including quality standards, time taken, wastage) is checked to ensure efficiency is maintained
   • Non-compliance is identified, reported or recorded and investigated to determine causes
3. Implement improvements to production efficiency
   • Corrective or preventive action is recommended and implemented where appropriate
   • Changes are communicated to relevant personnel in a logical and easily understood manner
   • Changes are monitored to confirm improvement to production efficiency

Required Skills

Required skills

OHS in relation to operating machinery such as safely switching off machinery before cleaning is started communication of ideas and information by establishing and managing effective oral and written channels with staff and management collecting analysing and organising information by accessing data about machine and personnel capabilities and integrating that with production planning planning and organising activities by establishing effective goals for work teams and monitoring performance to implement improvements teamwork when working with production staff to maintain production efficiency mathematical ideas and techniques by using data from production control systems to adjust planning and scheduling problemsolving skills by making changes to production based on noncompliance with quality standards use of technology by using production control systems

Required knowledge

requirements for efficient production standards OHS requirements that should be met with production control obtaining production process information quality standards that were checked to ensure enterprise procedures were met quality standards that were checked to ensure EPA requirements were met monitoring systems that are available to aid production management maintaining production efficiency problems that could have caused noncompliance of production efficiency reasons for problems arising information that is necessary to efficiently plan schedule and reschedule production improving production efficiency the authority to implement production changes information that needs to be communicated to implement changes to production control

Evidence Required

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	Evidence of the ability to effective management of a shift or sections production produce a portfolio that demonstrates that each element has been carried out This can include production summaries quality related documentation and testimonials from superiors and workers being supervised evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Assessment must ensure assessment may take place on the job off the job or a combination of these Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment
Method of assessment	A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge The following examples are appropriate for this unit direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of onthejob performance by the candidate
Guidance information for assessment	Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector workplace and job role is recommended

Range Statement

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.
Technical guidance may include:	the competencies relate to personnel who provide technical guidance and assistance to work teams.
Data sources may include:	may include manual records or reports or computerised production monitoring systems.
Decision making may include:	decisions may have a significant effect on the results of a production line/unit/department.
