Responsibility for completion of certain components of activities is accepted on an agreed or shared basis |
2. Participate in work group activity | 2.1. Forms of communication appropriate to the activity are applied 2.2. Responsibility for quality, timeliness and appropriate levels of productivity is taken on an agreed individual and shared basis 2.3. Assistance in completion of activities is sought where required 2.4. Problems are discussed and resolved through accepted processes |
3. Monitor progress of activity | 3.1. Processes are decided on an individual and collective basis 3.2. Individual members of the work team monitor their role in the activity's progress 3.3. Feedback is provided to the work group on effectiveness of activity 3.4. Ways of improving performance are proposed and agreed upon an a collective basis |
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 paying attention to performance indicators to reflect changed circumstances 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 legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice and organisation policies and procedures needed to carry out work in a manner which ensures the safety of people, equipment and the environment. organisational supply/replenishment systems and processes for materials, equipment and tools quality systems and performance measures established communication channels and protocols problem identification and resolution procedures for the recording, reporting and maintenance of organisation records and information. |
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 legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and organisation policies and procedures for influencing and leading work groups 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: ways to effectively review performance are decided upon either individually or with others feedback is provided to the work group on the effectiveness of the activity achieving work quality goals completing work area housekeeping requirements 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. | |
Instructions may include: | organisation procedures relating to the use and operation of tools and equipment production planning figures organisation instructions, including job sheets, plans, specifications, drawings and designs organisation procedures relating to reporting and communications manufacturers' instructions for the use of equipment and materials. |
Organisational requirements may include: | access and equity principles and practices environmental management (waste disposal, recycling and re-use guidelines) emergency and evacuation procedures equipment use procedures ethical standards legal obligations maintenance and storage procedures OHS requirements organisational and site guidelines policies and procedures relating to own role and responsibility procedural manuals quality assurance guidelines quality and continuous improvement processes and standards recording and reporting guidelines. |
