Unit of Competency CUAPPM411 - Compile production schedules
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to compile production schedules during the pre-production planning phase in the screen, media and entertainment industry sectors.It applies to individuals who work collaboratively in a production team as senior production personnel. Depending on the size of the production, this person may also be responsible for developing the resource schedule on which the production schedule is based.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:

resource schedule

production budget

interaction with others to support a collaborative approach to schedule development

scheduling tools and equipment, including scheduling software.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Confirm resources required
  • Analyse resource schedule to identify internal and external resources required for each stage in the production process
  • Consult with all departments involved in the production to clarify and confirm their requirements
  • Confirm accuracy and feasibility of resource schedule against overall production requirements
  • Identify non-resource issues that may affect production schedule, and collate and compile relevant information
       
Element: Compile production schedules
  • Allocate resources and create schedule that will deliver production on time and within budget
  • Identify and accommodate issues that could affect the timing and sequence of tasks within schedule, and resolve within scope of own role
  • Check allocated time enables efficient and safe use of resources
  • Identify factors that may cause production delays and develop contingency plans to accommodate them
       
Element: Finalise production schedules
  • Confirm the schedule is accurate, comprehensive and presented clearly
  • Distribute schedule promptly to relevant personnel and allow adequate opportunities for them to ask questions and seek clarification
  • Resolve difficulties in the interpretation or implementation of schedule as required
  • Revise schedule as required, and communicate changes promptly to relevant internal and external personnel
  • Develop and maintain an appropriate, clear and easily accessible recording system for all information relating to production schedule
       


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.

1.3 Confirm accuracy and feasibility of resource schedule against overall production requirements

1.4 Identify non-resource issues that may affect production schedule, and collate and compile relevant information

2. Compile production schedules

2.1 Allocate resources and create schedule that will deliver production on time and within budget

2.2 Identify and accommodate issues that could affect the timing and sequence of tasks within schedule, and resolve within scope of own role

2.3 Check allocated time enables efficient and safe use of resources

2.4 Identify factors that may cause production delays and develop contingency plans to accommodate them

3. Finalise production schedules

3.1 Confirm the schedule is accurate, comprehensive and presented clearly

3.5 Develop and maintain an appropriate, clear and easily accessible recording system for all information relating to production schedule

Evidence of the ability to:

interpret resource schedules

create production schedules that reflect resource factors, production budget and timelines using scheduling tools and techniques within commercially realistic time constraints

use effective communication, negotiation and problem-solving skills to collaborate with production teams and negotiate with a wide range of external suppliers and service providers

identify factors that may have an adverse impact on production schedules and accommodate them within scope of own role

develop and maintain a recording system for production schedule information

generate, update and distribute accurate production schedules in a timely manner.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

describe commonly used techniques for creating production schedules

outline administrative procedures associated with compiling production schedules

discuss different ways of presenting production schedules

describe formats and features of resource schedules and associated production documentation

explain roles and responsibilities of those members of the production team involved in developing production schedules

outline artistic and technical elements of productions or events that inform effective scheduling

identify typical problems and challenges that may arise when compiling production schedules, and briefly describe solutions

outline work health and safety (WHS) requirements as they apply to production scheduling.
