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. |
Competitive systems and practices | Competitive systems and practices may include, but are not limited to:lean operationsagile operationspreventative and predictive maintenance approachesmonitoring and data gathering systems, such as Systems Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) software, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, Materials Resource Planning (MRP) and proprietary systems statistical process control systems, including six sigma and three sigmaJust in Time (JIT), kanban and other pull-related operations control systemssupply, value, and demand chain monitoring and analysis5S continuous improvement (kaizen)breakthrough improvement (kaizen blitz)cause/effect diagramsoverall equipment effectiveness (OEE)takt timeprocess mappingproblem solving run chartsstandard procedurescurrent reality treeCompetitive systems and practices should be interpreted so as to take into account:the stage of implementation of competitive systems and practicesthe size of the enterprisethe work organisation, culture, regulatory environment and the industry sector |
Stock keeping unit (SKU) | SKUs are products or services that have a unique identifier in an organisation’s inventory system. They may relate to items that are either purchased, offered for sale, or manufactured/conducted internally and which needs to be tracked. An SKU will usually be a physical product but may include:countable services/events (e.g. time slots available for service calls charged by the hour, insurance claims) |
Relevant metric | Relevant metric is the metric on which the analysis will be based. For a Glenday Sieve this will be sales volume. However, other appropriate metrics may include:profitprofitabilitysales/profit growth |
Time basis | The time basis is the period of time over which the metric is considered. For a Glenday Sieve this will be one year. However, other periods may be appropriate, particularly in a cyclical/seasonal business and longer/shorter periods may yield better results |
Analysis tool | Analysis tool is the methodology used for grouping the SKUs and may include, but is not limited to:Glenday SievePareto analysis80:20 rule |
Sensitivity | Sensitivity testing is:repeating the analysis using either a different tool or a different metric/time basis and examining the change this makes to the groupings |
Strategic response | The strategic response is the application to which this grouping is to be put. This may include:the levelling of productionthe creation of different virtual production processesthe application of kaizen blitz to some groups other relevant tool or strategy |
