What are the specific resource requirements for this unit

Access to a SME using or intending to use competitive manufacturing

What critical aspects of evidence is required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the ability to analyse existing SME operations and to organise implementation of competitive manufacturing tools in a SME should be available

In what context should assessment occur

Assessment will need to occur in a SME which is implementing competitive manufacturing

Are there any other units which could or should be assessed with this unit or which relate directly to this unit

This unit could be assessed concurrently with other relevant units

What method of assessment should apply

Assessors must be satisfied that the person can consistently perform the unit as a whole as defined by the Elements Performance Criteria skills and knowledge A holistic approach should be taken to the assessment
