Overview of assessment requirements

The assessment should confirm the ability to develop or improve a process layout in a jobbing or process manufacturing enterprise

What are the specific resource requirements for this unit

Access to an organisation developing or redesigning its process layout

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

Evidence of process layout or layouts undertaken should be available

In what context should assessment occur

Assessment will need to occur in an organisation developing or improving its process layout Assessment could also be undertaken by project work or simulation provided adequate opportunity to test the practicality of the developed layouts exist
