Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Identify information need/deficiency.
  2. Develop/revise plant documentation.
  3. Communicate changes to plant documentation.

Required Skills

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level required for this unit

Knowledge of organisation standard procedures work instructions and relevant regulatory requirements along with the ability to implement them within appropriate time constraints relevant to the job

Knowledge of organisation information systems procedures equipment and relevant documentation sufficient to be able to develop or amend company documentation

Knowledge of the relevant OHS and environmental requirements is required along with an ability to implement them in a manner which is relevant to the drafting of all relevant documentation

Competence also includes the ability to

plan own work including predicting consequences and identifying improvements

identify and describe own role and role of other employees

Language literacy and numeracy requirements

This unit requires the ability to read and interpret typical product specifications job sheets work instructions and material labels as provided to operators

Writing is required to the level of drafting documents for the required audience

Numeracy is also required to the extent required by production data work instructions and procedures

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

A holistic approach should be taken to the assessment

Assessors must be satisfied that the person can consistently perform the unit as a whole as defined by the Elements Performance Criteria and skills and knowledge

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Consistent performance should be demonstrated For example look to see that

information required is researched and intended use is taken into account

documentation is completed accurately concisely and in accordance with requirements

completed documentation is easily understood by the recipient

information is communicated in the appropriate manner

communication distinguishes between relevant and peripheral issues

Assessment method and context

Assessment will occur using workbased documents and in a worklike environment

Competence in this unit may be assessed

by direct observation and accessing the workplace records system

in a situation allowing the generation of evidence of the ability to recognise anticipate and solve problems

by using a suitable simulation andor a range of case studiesscenarios

through a combination of these techniques

In all cases it is expected that practical assessment will be combined with targeted questioning to assess the underpinning knowledge and theoretical assessment will be combined with appropriate practicalsimulation or similar assessment Assessors need to be aware of any cultural issues that may affect responses to questions

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the oracy language and literacy capacity of the assessee and the work being performed

Specific resources for assessment

This section should be read in conjunction with the Range Statement for this unit of competency Resources required include suitable access to an operating plant or equipment that allows for appropriate and realistic simulation A bank of case studiesscenarios and questions will also be required to the extent that they form part of the assessment method Questioning may take place either in the workplace or in an adjacent quiet facility such as an office or lunchroom No other special resources are required

Access must be provided to appropriate learning andor assessment support when required Where applicable physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities


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. Add any 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.

Where reference is made to industry codes of practice, and/or Australian/international standards, the latest version must be used.

Context

This competency applies to all work environments in the industry.

Work is governed by established workplace procedures, and extent of authority for drafting/document approval.

Procedures

All operations are performed in accordance with procedures.

Procedures include all relevant workplace procedures, work instructions, temporary instructions and relevant industry and government codes and standards.

Documentation

This unit of competency includes sources of documentation such as:

maintenance logs

non-compliance reports

incidence and accident reports

permits

schematics/process flows/ engineering drawings.

job cards

standard operating procedures

work instructions

operating manuals

quality procedures

training program contents

materials safety data sheets.

Problems

'Anticipate and solve problems' means resolve a wide range of routine and non-routine problems, using product and process knowledge to develop solutions to problems which do not have a known solution/s recorded in the procedures.

Typical problems may include:

inaccurate source documents

out-of-date source documents

source documents too technical/lacking detail/of wrong focus

prioritising of document drafting with other work.

Appropriate action for problems outside of area of responsibility may be reported to an appropriate person.

Appropriate action for solving problems within area of responsibility includes asking questions and seeking assistance from appropriate persons/sources
