The Evidence Guide describes the underpinning knowledge and skills that must be demonstrated to prove competence it is essential for assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria the range statement and the assessment guidelines of the relevant training package

Overview of assessment requirements

Assessment should confirm that the person can undertake DoE projects in a work situation

What are the specific resource requirements for this unit

Access to an organisation using design of experiment or access to an organisation where DoE could be conducted

In what context should assessment occur

Assessment will need to occur in an organisation implementing DoE or through project based assessment

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 dealing with six sigma type work andor change management These are

MSACMTA Determine and improve process capability

MSACMT650A Determine and improve process capability

MSACMTA Apply six sigma to process control and improvement

MSACMT653A Apply six sigma to process control and improvement

MSACMCA Lead change in a manufacturing environmentandor

MSACMC410A Lead change in a manufacturing environmentand/or

MSACMCA Manage people relationships

MSACMC611A Manage people relationships

MSAPMSUPA Use structured problem solving tools

MSAPMSUP390A Use structured problem solving tools

MSACMSA Analyse and map a value chain

MSACMS601A Analyse and map a value chain

MSACMTA Mistake proof a production process

MSACMT451A Mistake proof a production process

MSACMTA Undertake proactive maintenance analyses

MSACMT481A Undertake proactive maintenance analyses

The prerequisite unit MCMTA Apply statistics to processes in manufacturingshould where possible be assessed concurrently with this unit

The prerequisite unit MCMT452A Apply statistics to processes in manufacturingshould where possible be assessed concurrently with this unit

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

Generally one significant DoE project should generate sufficient evidence

Objective of the experiment

Factorial design

Signal to noise ratio
