Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Identify resources to meet production requirements
   • Determine demand for product
   • Access and verify information on orders, stocks and delivery
   • Determine plant/production equipment capacity
   • Determine material requirements
   • Determine human resource requirements
   • Identify and control hazards

Range Statement

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.
Regulatory framework	The latest version of all legislation, regulations, industry codes of practice and Australian/international standards, or the version specified by the local regulatory authority, must be used, and include one or more of the following: legislative requirements, including work health and safety (WHS) industry codes of practice and guidelines environmental regulations and guidelines Australian and other standards licence and certification requirements All operations are subject to stringent HSE requirements, which may be imposed through state/territory or federal legislation, and these must not be compromised at any time. Where there is an apparent conflict between performance criteria and HSE requirements, the HSE requirements take precedence.
Procedures	All operations must be performed in accordance with relevant procedures. Procedures are written, verbal, visual, computer-based or in some other form, and include one or more of the following: emergency procedures work instructions standard operating procedures (SOPs) safe work method statements (SWMS) formulas/recipes batch sheets temporary instructions any similar instructions provided for the smooth running of the plant
Hazards	Hazards include one or more of the following: smoke, darkness and heat heat, smoke, dust or other atmospheric hazards electricity gas gases and liquids under pressure structural hazards structural collapse equipment failures industrial (machinery, equipment and product) equipment or product mass noise, rotational equipment or vibration limited head spaces or overhangs working at heights, in restricted or confined spaces, or in environments subjected to heat, noise, dusts or vapours fire and explosion flammability and explosivity hazardous products and materials unauthorised personnel sharp edges, protrusions or obstructions slippery surfaces, spills or leaks extreme weather other hazards that might arise

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and must include the ability to:

identify production objectives, priorities, targets and resource requirements

plan, sequence and schedule production taking account of health, safety and environment (HSE) priorities

monitor and adjust schedules in response to operational variations

communicate effectively with other personnel.

---

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

organisation procedures

hazards that may arise in the job/work environment, including:

their possible causes

potential consequences

appropriate risk controls

hierarchy of control

customer and quality requirements

routine and non-routine causes of production variation

relevant equipment and operational processes

types of adjustments that can be made and their likely impact on process/plant efficiencies and production outcomes/targets.
