Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Facilitate the set up of 5S
  2. Monitor 5S
  3. Improve the 5S

Evidence Required

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria required skills and knowledge the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package

Overview of assessment requirements

There should be evidence of successful application of S in the persons work group and their positive interaction with it

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 units relating to the team leaders interactions with their team

This unit differs from MSACMTA Apply S procedures in a manufacturing environment which covers the application of S to the persons own work

This unit differs from MSACMT240A Apply 5S procedures in a manufacturing environment which covers the application of 5S to the person's own work.

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

What are the specific resource requirements for this unit

Access to a workplace implementing or practising S No other specific resources are required


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.

Procedures

Procedures include all work instructions, standard operating procedures, formulas/recipes, batch sheets, temporary instructions and similar instructions provided for the smooth running of the plant. They may be written, verbal, computer based or in some other form.

For the purposes of this Training Package, 'procedures' also includes good operating practice as may be defined by industry codes of practice (e.g. Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Responsible Care) and government regulations.
