Unit of Competency ICPSUP351 - Undertake basic production scheduling
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to schedule production for a small work unit. It applies to individuals who perform a range of defined tasks relating to pre-press, printing, screen printing, converting or finishing. They may also provide some leadership and guidance to others with some limited responsibility for the output of others. 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.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the Support field of work and include access to special purpose tools, equipment and materials.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Identify production requirements and capacities
  • Printing, converting and finishing production data is identified
  • Inventory capacities and requirements are identified
  • Procurement and supply requirements and constraints are identified
  • Production capacity for the workgroup is identified
  • Production constraints for the workgroup are identified
  • Standard times for the workgroup are identified
       
Element: Prepare production schedule for small work unit
  • Scheduling is done in conjunction with overall scheduling of other units and processes
  • Production schedule is prepared according to production, inventory, procurements, time constraints and supply capacities and requirements
  • Schedule is documented according to enterprise procedures
  • Schedule is modified as required
       
Element: Monitor production
  • Production is monitored
  • Any necessary changes in scheduling, and reasons for this, are reported according to 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.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Identify production requirements and capacities

1.1 Printing, converting and finishing production data is identified

1.2 Inventory capacities and requirements are identified

1.3 Procurement and supply requirements and constraints are identified

1.4 Production capacity for the workgroup is identified

1.5 Production constraints for the workgroup are identified

1.6 Standard times for the workgroup are identified

2. Prepare production schedule for small work unit

2.1 Scheduling is done in conjunction with overall scheduling of other units and processes

2.2 Production schedule is prepared according to production, inventory, procurements, time constraints and supply capacities and requirements

2.3 Schedule is documented according to enterprise procedures

2.4 Schedule is modified as required

3. Monitor production

3.1 Production is monitored

3.2 Any necessary changes in scheduling, and reasons for this, are reported according to enterprise procedures

Evidence of the ability to:

effectively schedule production for a small unit in pre-press, printing, screen printing, converting or finishing according to enterprise procedures

produce a portfolio that documents ONE month’s scheduling activities and covers identifying production requirements and capacities, preparing a production schedule and monitoring production.

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:

Production requirements and capacities

describe the relationship between job requirements and production processes

list and describe special production requirements and possible problems that special requirements may cause

outline criteria used to determine availability of machines, materials and labour

explain work health and safety (WHS) concerns to consider when planning production

Checking stock levels

explain how stock levels are checked

identify information to obtain from outside suppliers that will allow job priorities to be established

describe the system used to select suppliers

Preparation and documentation of the production schedule

explain how to determine production workflow

identify the system used to work out job priorities

describe the purpose of documenting production workflow

explain how to communicate schedules to the workforce

Revising schedules

outline how to monitor and amend production schedules

describe the factors to consider if a production schedule is being revised.

Submission Requirements

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.

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.
