Unit of Competency | MSAPMOPS601A - Design equipment and system modifications |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge needed to design equipment and system modifications in a manufacturing situation. This unit is typically performed by high level staff, working as part of a design, development and implementation team and taking a lead technical role.It does not include the design of equipment requiring specialist engineering skills or regulatory licensing, although it may include working with a person with these skills/licence. | ||
Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This competency applies to people who design modifications to equipment or systems, typically used for production. The modification may be to improve productivity, improve reliability, reduce waste (muda), reduce cost or other reasons. The competency can apply to the design of equipment/system modifications associated with product changes or improvements and/or establishment of a new production line/product. Typically it will be to meet a specified end use. This will involve working closely with a range of management and operations personnel and requires balancing the business, operational and technical sides of the modified equipment/system. This unit of competency applies to the technical expert. The competency is applied under limited guidance in line with a broad plan, budget or strategyThis competency is typically performed by senior technologists working in liaison with other technical experts, operations management, operators and other relevant people with whom they would work as part of a (possibly ad hoc) team. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. |

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 | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Assessment for this unit of competency will be in a work environment or a simulated work environment. Assessment must confirm appropriate knowledge and skills to: establish design/modification requirements assess design and modification options organise implementation of design/modification ensure work meets specifications apply workplace health and safety policies in work operations maintain accurate records |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment. This requires access to real or appropriately simulated situations involving the design of equipment and system modifications for applications within a manufacturing context. This includes real or simulated work areas, materials, equipment, and information on work specifications, manufacturer's instructions, relevant safety procedures and regulations, quality standards, organisation procedures and customer requirements. |
Method of assessment | |
Guidance information for assessment | Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed. |
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.
|
Required skills |
Required skills may include (but may not be restricted to): interpret design requirements apply technical skills, including performing technical calculations conduct tests and prepare drawings/documentation evaluate design options communicate effectively within the workplace, including liaising with other departments establish or interpret procedures, where required determine report requirements and present information in appropriate formats |
Required knowledge |
Required knowledge, to the breadth and depth required to design equipment and system modifications may include (but may not be restricted to): appropriate design techniques relevant Australian design standards OHS considerations and environmental factors in relation to equipment/system design safety and environmental aspects of relevant enterprise activities workplace procedures and reporting/recording processes relevant regulatory requirements and codes of practice. |
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. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Procedures | Procedures may be written, verbal, computer-based or in some other form. They include: all work instructions standard operating procedures formulas/recipes batch sheets temporary instructions any similar instructions provided for the smooth running of the plant For the purposes of this Training Package, 'procedures' also includes good operating practice as may be defined by industry codes of practice (e.g. Responsible Care) and government regulations All work will comply with procedures |
Modification/design requirements | Modification/design requirements may include (but is not restricted to) the following factors: production, facility, OHS sustainability |
Design concepts | Design concepts may include (but are not restricted to) the following requirements: process, material, quantity, cost and outcome |
Design limitations | Design limitations may be determined from (but are not restricted to) the following as applicable: codes, regulations and technical documentation |
Design | Design activities relate to processes which are based on established principles and practices, and that require modifications determined by experience and analysis Activities may involve (but are not limited to): design research and consultation with internal or external specialists assessment and evaluation of design concepts design implementation and testing of modifications |
Applicable regulations and legislation | Applicable regulations and legislation may include (but are not limited to): occupational health and safety legislation and regulation relevant to workplace activities relevant Australian design standards workers' compensation legislation and regulation environmental legislation and regulations industry codes of practice Australian (or other) Standards |
Appropriate action | Appropriate action includes: determining problems needing action determining possible fault causes rectifying problem using appropriate solution within area of responsibility following through items initiated until final resolution has occurred reporting problems outside area of responsibility to designated person |
Health, safety and environment (HSE) | All operations to which this unit applies are subject to stringent HSE requirements, which may be imposed through state, territory or federal legislation, and these must not be compromised at any time. Where there is an apparent conflict between Performance Criteria and HSE requirements, the HSE requirements take precedence |
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.
