Qualification -
Unit of Competency CPPWMT4060A - Apply lean management techniques
Description This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to apply lean management techniques to avoid or reduce waste generation. It requires the ability to identify the opportunities for production practice that eliminates expenditure of resources for any goal other than the creation of value for the end customer, analyse those opportunities to establish criteria, and then develop an implementation program.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency supports individuals with responsibilities for organising waste management operations, leading a team or supervising a site. It includes contributing to the implementation of developed strategies, systems and plans, as well as recognising the need for expert advice.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
Prerequisites/co-requisites Not applicable.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Determine effectiveness of current resource management practices.
  • Management support for the development and implementation of lean management techniques is confirmed.
  • In-house lean management techniques are established.
  • All components of current waste streams are measured.
  • Waste generation rates are linked to key waste indicators or benchmarks.
  • Existing waste management site practices are assessed against legislation and codes, industry standards, best practice and organisational requirements.
  • Practices and processes are discussed with operators and other stakeholders to gain in-depth information on why waste is generated.
  • Cost analysis is conducted to identify the real cost of waste production process and waste stream.
  • Potential hazards and risks are factored into overall costs.
       


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

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.

Overview of assessment

This unit of competency could be assessed by observation of practical demonstration in the workplace or in a simulated environment of applying lean management techniques.

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 required skills and knowledge specified in this unit.

In particular the person should demonstrate the ability to:

determine strategies for lean management techniques

apply lean management principles and techniques

incorporate OHS and impacts and drivers of waste.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge may be conducted in an off-site context. It is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian standards’ requirements.

Resource implications for assessment include:

work plans and approved specifications

forms and procedures manuals.

Method of assessment

Lean management techniques must comply with industry expectations in the particular client environment. If the environment is narrowly defined or is not representative of industry needs, it may be necessary to refer to portfolio case studies to assess competency in lean management techniques.

Assessment methods must:

satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the Property Services Training Package

include direct observation of tasks in real or simulated work conditions, with questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application

reinforce the integration of employability skills with workplace tasks and job roles

confirm that competency is verified and able to be transferred to other circumstances and environments.

Guidance information for assessment

Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support.

Assessment processes and techniques should as far as is practical take into account the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed.

This unit could be assessed on its own or in combination with other units of competency relevant to the job function, for example:

CPPCMN4002B Implement and monitor environmentally sustainable work practices

CPPWMT3059A Plan and conduct waste assessments CPPWMT4030A Determine waste management services

CPPWMT4052A Organise waste management operations

CPPWMT5004A Develop waste management strategies

CPPWMT5058A Develop emergency response plans.
