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 describes the underpinning knowledge and skills that must be demonstrated to prove competence. It is essential for assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines of the relevant Training Package.

Overview of assessment requirements

The person being assessed should be able to demonstrate the integration of the elements of this unit in a holistic manner and show their application to the organisation.

What are the specific resource requirements for this unit?

Access to an organisation implementing competitive manufacturing.

What critical aspects of evidence is required to demonstrate competency in this unit?

Evidence of the review and understanding of a philosophy of Deming's 14 points (or similar) should be available.

In what context should assessment occur?

Assessment will need to occur in an organisation implementing/wishing to implement competitive manufacturing.

Are there any other units which could or should be assessed with this unit or which relate directly to this unit?

This unit could be assessed concurrently with other relevant units.

What method of assessment should apply?

Assessors must be satisfied that the person can consistently perform the unit as a whole, as defined by the Elements, Performance Criteria, skills and knowledge. A holistic approach should be taken to the assessment.

Assessors should gather sufficient, fair, valid, reliable, authentic and current evidence from a range of sources. Sources of evidence may include direct observation, reports from supervisors, peers and colleagues, project work, samples, organisation records and questioning. Assessment should not require language, literacy or numeracy skills beyond those required for the unit.

The assessee will have access to all techniques, procedures, information, resources and aids which would normally be available in the workplace.

The method of assessment should be discussed and agreed with the assessee prior to the commencement of assessment.

What evidence is required for demonstration of consistent performance?

Evidence of consistent application of the principles and moving down the path should be sufficient evidence rather than evidence of having arrived.
