A simulated workplace environment must reflect realistic operational workplace conditions that cover all aspects of workplace performance, including the environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately. Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate. Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence or through an independent process, such as workbooks, written assessments or interviews (provided a record is kept in each case). This unit of competency may be assessed with: MSL977002 Troubleshoot equipment and/or production processes MSL977003 Contribute to the validation of test methods MSL977004 Develop or adapt analyses and procedures Holistic assessment methods include: review of development brief and development plan (budget, timeline, resources and quality requirements) prepared by the candidate review of new product/application documentation (formulation, evaluation and quality/regulatory compliance procedures) prepared by the candidate feedback from supervisors and clients confirming the details of contributions made by the candidate to the development of new product/application oral or written questioning covering principles of product or application development and the candidate’s specific contributions to the development of new product/application.
