Required Skills
This section describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit. |
Required skills |
speak clearly and directly apply teamwork to a range of situations solve problems particularly in teams in order to meet performance indicators show initiative in adapting to changing work conditions or contexts particularly when working across a variety of work areas access, interpret and apply information on relevant organisation policies, procedures and instructions manage time when planning, preparing and organising work priorities take responsibility for organising own work priorities. |
Required knowledge |
relevant Occupational Health and Safety and Environmental regulations and organisation policies and procedures needed to carry out work in a manner which ensures the safety of people, equipment and the environment. The specific regulations will vary according to the area of operation fundamentals of team structures and dynamics causes of conflict and dysfunctional work groups basic conflict resolution diversity and equity policy and procedures basic decision making processes established communication channels and protocols problem identification and resolution. |
Evidence Required
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Evidence of the following is essential: compliance with relevant legislative, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and organisation policies and procedures for working effectively with others in teams maintaining a working knowledge of current organisation team/work group arrangements, structures and processes working and communicating effectively and positively with others involved in the work applying, within authority, the requirements of the job or work role in relation to: contributing to team/work group based operations through participation in the organisation of the team/work group participation in team/work group decision making observing reporting relationships showing consideration for other team/work group members participating in the team/work groups pursuit of production targets participating in the setting and achievement of the team/work groups key production indicators effectively participating in team/work group meetings modify activities to cater for variations in organisation context and environment. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | assessment of the competency should take place in a safe working environment in a passenger motor vehicle manufacturing plant or simulated environment using tools/equipment/machinery required for the production process without undue disruption to the production process assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints. |
Method of assessment | A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit: assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of organisation relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge 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. |
Range Statement
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 in the Performance Criteria is detailed below. Add any 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. | |
Enterprise requirements and procedures may include but not be limited to: | legal organisational and site guidelines policies and procedures relating to own role and responsibility quality assurance procedural manuals quality and continuous improvement processes and standards OHS emergency and evacuation ethical standards recording and reporting access and equity principles and practices equipment use maintenance and storage environmental management (waste disposal, recycling and re-use guidelines) suppliers' operating instructions |
Team ground-rules may include: | rules by which a team functions within a formal organisation setting ensure smooth functioning and cover how team members will relate to each other and how the team will achieve outputs communication task assignment goal setting problem solving decision making and general team/work planning. |
