Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Establish production requirements
  • Applicable Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), environmental, legislative and organisational requirements relevant to production planning are identified and followed
  • Data from the sales and market forecasts are interpreted for inclusion in the production plan
  • Specifications and supporting data are analysed
  • Projected requirements regarding product quantity, quality, raw material and performance characteristics are established
  • Production capacity of machines and personnel is analysed and checked
  • Resources, including raw material supply requirements for the production line, are assessed
  • Communication with others is established and maintained in line with OHS requirements
       
Element: Prepare production plan
  • Production procedures are reviewed for suitability to planned schedule
  • Information and details to include in the production plan are assembled and checked
  • Inefficiencies and constraints are evaluated and potential improvements or variations to the plan are actioned
  • Production plan is prepared in line with enterprise procedures
       
Element: Monitor and coordinate variations to plan
  • Production and output are monitored to record and action process improvements based on construction plans, components and hardware being utilised
  • Production output details are obtained and recorded in line with site procedures and environmental requirements
  • Production plan is monitored to ensure production performance is efficient and effective, and variations are achieved
  • Plans are modified to reflect stock, machine and human resource requirements or variations
  • Implementation of plan variations is coordinated to make sure they follow instructions and specifications
  • Production planning records are maintained and reports prepared in line with enterprise procedures
       


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

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence that they can safely and efficiently plan production in line with organisational requirements

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements of this unit and include demonstration of:

following applicable Commonwealth, State or Territory legislative and regulatory requirements and codes of practice relevant to production planning

following organisational policies and procedures relevant to production planning

effective communication and safe working practices

production planning for the enterprise

modification of production procedures within the enterprise

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace

Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints

Assessment of required knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context

Assessment is to follow relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements

The following resources should be made available:

workplace location or simulated workplace

materials and equipment relevant to undertaking work applicable to this unit

specifications and work instructions

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the FPI11 Training Package

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of required knowledge

Assessment must be by direct observation of tasks, with questioning on required knowledge and it must also reinforce the integration of employability skills

Assessment methods must confirm the ability to access and correctly interpret and apply the required knowledge

Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency

The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate

Assessment practices should take into account any relevant language or cultural issues related to Aboriginality, gender or language backgrounds other than English

Where the participant has a disability, reasonable adjustment may be applied during assessment

Language and literacy demands of the assessment task should not be higher than those of the work role


Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)


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.

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level required for this unit

Required skills

Problem solving skills sufficient to identify problems and equipment faults and demonstrate appropriate response procedures

Required knowledge

Applicable Commonwealth, State or Territory legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices relevant to the full range of processes for production planning

Environmental protection requirements, including the safe disposal of waste material, the safe use and storage of chemicals, minimising carbon emissions and the cleaning of plant, tools and equipment
