Overview of assessment requirements

The employee will routinely use the relevant parts of the planning software system for their job

What are the specific resource requirements for this unit

Access to an organisation using a planning software system

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

Evidence of routine use of planning software as part of their job is required

In what context should assessment occur

Assessment needs to occur in a workplace using a planning software system or a simulation system

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

This unit should be assessed concurrently with relevant technical units for the process

This unit covers the lower skill levels of using planning software MSACMTA Use planning software systems in manufacturing and MSACMTA Develop the application of enterprise systems in manufacturing cover the intermediate and highest skill levels in the CM respectively

This unit covers the lower skill levels of using planning software. MSACMT460A Use planning software systems in manufacturing and MSACMT660A Develop the application of enterprise systems in manufacturing cover the intermediate and highest skill levels in the CM respectively.

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

Assessors should gather sufficient fair valid reliable authentic and current evidence from a range of sources Sources of evidence may include direct observation reports from supervisors peers and colleagues project work samples organisation records and questioning Assessment should not require language literacy or numeracy skills beyond those required for the unit

The assessee will have access to all techniques procedures information resources and aids which would normally be available in the workplace

The method of assessment should be discussed and agreed with the assessee prior to the commencement of the assessment

What evidence is required for demonstration of consistent performance

Evidence of routine use over an extended period should be available Planning software systems will typically log all interactions with it Interrogation of the planning software system will therefore provide evidence of the operators use of it Actions taken may also be accessible from the planning software system itself or may need other evidence available from the process
