Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Identify scope of SCADA system
   • Identify categories of information held in and control options of SCADA system relevant to team or area
   • Identify range of information able to be provided to SCADA system by team
   • Identify range of information able to be provided to team by SCADA system
   • Identify team or area functions impacted by SCADA system

Required Skills

Required skills

Required skills include entering and receiving information via SCADA terminals communicating with team and organisation SCADA support personnel engaging and motivating team in use of SCADA system identifying team or work area information requirements identifying scope of team or area processes controlled by SCADA system planning and organising improvements in teams use of SCADA

Required knowledge

Required knowledge includes hierarchy of SCADA system and operation information available from and controls exercised bythrough the SCADA system query control and other facilities and information offered by SCADA supporttrainingskill development mechanisms available for access by team member

Evidence Required

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the ability to identify team or area information and operations requirements and relate to SCADA system lead and motivate others in using SCADA system obtain regular and oneoff information from SCADA system make decisions using SCADA generated information
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Assessment of performance must be undertaken in a workplace using or implementing one or more competitive systems and practices Access may be required to workplace procedures and plans relevant to work area specifications and documentation relating to planned currently being implemented or implemented changes to work processes and procedures relevant to the assessee documentation and information in relation to production waste overheads and hazard controlmanagement reports from supervisorsmanagers case studies and scenarios to assess responses to contingencies
Method of assessment	A holistic approach should be taken to the assessment Competence in this unit may be assessed by using a combination of the following to generate evidence demonstration in the workplace workplace projects suitable simulation case studiesscenarios particularly for assessment of contingencies improvement scenarios and so on targeted questioning reports from supervisors peers and colleagues thirdparty reports portfolio of evidence In all cases it is expected that practical assessment will be combined with targeted questioning to assess the underpinning knowledge Where applicable reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity age gender demographics and disability
Guidance information for assessment	Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the oracy language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed

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 operations agile operations preventative and predictive maintenance approaches monitoring 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 sigma Just in Time (JIT), kanban and other pull-related operations control systems supply, value, and demand chain monitoring and analysis 5S continuous improvement (kaizen) breakthrough improvement (kaizen blitz) cause/effect diagrams overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) takt time process mapping problem solving run charts standard procedures current reality tree Competitive systems and practices should be interpreted so as to take into account: the stage of implementation of competitive systems and practices the size of the enterprise the work organisation, culture, regulatory environment and the industry sector
SCADA	SCADA is a general term applied to a number of systems which automatically collect critical process data, perform required mathematical manipulations on it and then make control decisions and/or give required information personnel for action. SCADA systems are often used in manufacturing but can also be used in other industries. In the continuous sector, the SCADA system is sometimes integrated into other sophisticated computer control systems, such as Distributed Control System (DCS) and these systems do merge in advanced systems. These organisations may simply refer to their SCADA as the DCS or other similar term (such as the proprietary name of the computer system)
Value stream	The value stream begins with the customer and includes all actions (both value-adding and non-value added) by both internal sections/departments and external organisations to meet a customer requirement. Depending on the operations and the customer requirement stages where value stream actions may occur include: sales outlet/representative information gathering, data analysis and research product design raw material sourcing intermediate processing final assembler/ collation/preparation support services (e.g. accounting, finance and legal) storage and delivery to customer after market support
