Unit of Competency LMTGN4016A - Contribute to the development of products or processes
Description This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to contribute to developing products or processes within the workplace.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit applies to activities contributing to development of products or processes within the enterprise. It includes conducting trials to establish conformance to requirements. Judgement may be required in planning and selecting appropriate processes or procedures for self and others. Work may be conducted in restricted spaces or exposed conditions or controlled or open environmentsWork responsibilities will vary in scope according to:size of the workplacerange of designs or productsspecialisation in the workplaceworkplace quality standardsWork may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities. This unit is applied according to OHS and workplace practices of the enterprise, which may include:requirements prescribed by legislation, awards, agreements and conditions of employmentstandard operating procedureswork instructionsoral, written and visual communicationquality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team/section outputhousekeepingtasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control and recyclingThis unit requires the application of skills associated with planning and organising the development of products or process for production. This unit also requires an ability to work with others in the team to test and asses the quality and feasibility of designs and make adjustments or modifications to specifications. Initiative, enterprise and problem solving will be used to assist in feasibility studies and develop specifications. Learning skills will be used to gather and apply new information.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Interpret provisional specifications
  • Provisional specifications are identified
  • Specifications are interpreted, in consultation with others, where required
       
Element: Participate in feasibility studies
  • Requirements for feasibility study are identified, in conjunction with others, as required
  • Assistance is provided in studies to assess feasibility of design and development through sampling, trial run production, consideration of machine or equipment capabilities, availability of resources, required quality and cost
       
Element: Assist in developing or engineering product
  • Product or process specifications are interpreted and preliminary specifications are developed from feasibility study
  • Specifications are used to develop or engineer the product
  • Raw materials are checked or selected to meet requirements
  • Machine or equipment or skill availability are determined against requirements
       
Element: Conduct trials
  • Requirements for trial are confirmed and clarified, where necessary, to establish procedures and parameters
  • Organisation and liaison with production area occurs, where required
  • Trials are assessed in accordance with the established procedures
       
Element: Analyse and interpret results
  • Results of the trials are analysed to determine performance and acceptability for production
  • Analysis is interpreted to determine performance and acceptability for production
       
Element: Report results and maintain records
  • Reports are prepared
  • Records are maintained, where required,
       


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, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects of evidence to be considered

Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:

conduct feasibility studies

interpret and develop specifications

use specifications appropriately

organise and conduct trials

assess results of trials

Consistency in performance

Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:

organising work

completing tasks

identifying improvements

using workplace practices

using OHS practices

recording and reporting accidents and incidents

assessing operational readiness of equipment used and work processes

recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions

completing work systematically with attention to detail without damage to goods and equipment

Resource implications

Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Context for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.

Interdependent assessment

This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.


Submission Requirements

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

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

Demonstrates knowledge of:

industry and product processes

product and process development procedures

machine or equipment, resource and skill capabilities within the workplace

feasibility study procedures

safety and environmental aspects of relevant workplace activities

reporting processes

OHS practices, including hazard identification and control measures

quality practices

workplace practices

recording and reporting practices

Demonstrates skills to:

carry out sampling

check and select raw materials

interpret specifications

establish availability of machines

determine availability of required skills and personnel

select, interpret and evaluate procedures or processes

read, interpret and follow information on work specifications, , standard operating procedures and work instructions and other reference material

maintain accurate records

communicate within the workplace

sequence operations

meet specifications

clarify and check task-related information

carry out work according to OHS practices

The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the Performance Criteria, is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.

Legislative/regulatory requirements

All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.

Feasibility studies may include:

sampling

trial run production

consideration of machine capabilities

availability of resources

required quality

cost

Conducting trials may relate:

confirmation and clarification of requirements

liaison with production area

allocating work

reviewing and evaluating processes and products

performing trials

interpreting data

analysing results

OHS practices

OHS practices must include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit, and may include:

manual handling techniques

standard operating procedures

personal protective equipment

safe materials handling
