Unit of Competency DEFPBC003 - Establish a Performance Based Contract performance measures hierarchy
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to establish a Performance Based Contract (PBC) performance measures hierarchy. It includes conducting a performance measures workshop, establishing the individual performance measures, establishing the individual payment curves for performance measures, analysing and assessing the agreed performance measure hierarchy.This unit applies to administrators or managers working within the contract management field in Defence but may be applicable to any individual in this field of work.The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.Those undertaking this unit would work within a team, with limited supervision while performing complex tasks in a range of contexts.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.

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations, current at the time of assessment.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations, current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment must include access to:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulations

relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) currently used in industry

applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals

acceptable means of simulated assessment.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Conduct a performance measure workshop
  • Assess list of stakeholders required to define the performance measures
  • Gather and collate candidate performance measures from a workshop
       
Element: Establish the individual performance measures
  • Define key characteristics of the different type of performance measures used in PBC
  • Assess whether individual performance measures from the list of candidate performance measures are required in the PBC as strategic performance measures, key performance indicators or system health indicators
  • Establish the process for operating the performance measure, including application of business rules
  • Assess the averaging technique applied to the performance measure
       
Element: Establish the individual payment curves for performance measures
  • Establish the performance levels for each performance measure, including the upper, mean and lower levels
  • Establish the payment curve for each performance measure
  • Apply weightings to each key performance indicator
       
Element: Analyse and assess the agreed performance measure hierarchy
  • Implement the established the performance measures
  • Assess coverage of the performance measures against the Key Result Areas (KRA)
  • Determine and assess the risks associated with each of the performance measures
  • Prepare a performance measure hierarchy report
       


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.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Non-essential conditions may be found in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
