Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency applies to engineering or related projects or operations across all forms of manufacturing and engineering. It is suitable for people with system design, installation, commissioning and project or operational management responsibilities who are required to apply configuration management (CM) procedures during system design and/or during the life-cycle of a product. The procedures are used as the control mechanism during the application of the systems engineering design processes which may be used in the design of complex hardware and software products, both for initial design and then as an iterative process as the need for modifications are identified throughout the life-cycle of the product. The outputs of the CM process are configuration documentation that can be used for through-life management or for input of data to logistic management plans where integrated logistics support (ILS) is mandated as the through-life management system. This unit is used in workplaces that operate under the airworthiness regulatory systems of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is, the candidate is not in productive work, then a simulated working environment must be used that reflects realistic workplace situations and conditions. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability. Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application. 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. Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently: determine the scope of the CM task and identify items for CM (CIs) compile CM documentation from systems engineering data establish and review configuration baselines during product development and production comply with relevant airworthiness regulations develop CM plans implement CM plans review CM performance establish and maintain CM status accounting databases and procedures participate in CM audits and manage the remedy of deficiencies. Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency where required. Assessors must satisfy the requirements of the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (Australian Skills Quality Authority, or its successors). |
