Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to work with the fundamental aspects of supply chains. It includes determining fundamental aspects, monitoring fundamental aspects, implementing continuous improvement strategies and reporting on fundamental aspects.Fundamental aspects of a supply chain includes all activities that relate to the integration, operation, purchasing and distribution of products and goods that are critical to the success of a business. Failure to manage the fundamental aspects of a supply chain can have a significant impact on the ability of a business to survive in the market place.The unit is applicable to individuals working in supply chain management roles. Typically, they will work independently and perform complex tasks in a range of familiar and unfamiliar contexts. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so. Where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

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.

Resources for assessment must include access to a range of

exercises, case studies or other simulations

materials, tools and equipment used in industry

documentation including organisational policies and procedures, industry standards, regulations, codes of practice, operational manuals and equipment specifications.

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.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Non-essential conditions may be found in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

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.
