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, work health and safety (WHS) and Environmental Protection Agency (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

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

effectively manage a shift or sections production

create a portfolio of documents showing how:

machine operations, staff and production processes are organised

quality standards and safe work practices are checked for compliance with procedures and legislative requirements

production is monitored for compliance

production improvement are identified, recorded, reported and implemented.
(Suitable documents for the portfolio include production summaries, quality-related documentation and testimonials from superiors and workers being supervised.)

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

Requirements for efficient production standards

describe the work health and safety requirements for production control

explain how the production process information is obtained

outline quality standards to check to ensure enterprise procedures are met

outline quality standards to check to ensure environmental protection requirements are met

identify monitoring systems available to aid production management

Maintaining production efficiency

identify problems that could cause non-compliance of production efficiency and how they can occur

describe what information is necessary to efficiently plan, schedule and reschedule production

Improving production efficiency

identify who has authority to implement production changes

describe the information that needs to be communicated to implement changes to production control.
