CUETEM06B
Organise and monitor bump in_bump out

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to oversee the bump in/bump out process for one or more technical aspects of a production. It is very closely linked to the unit 'CUETEM01C Coordinate production operations' which has a particular focus on the organisation and transportation of physical production elements. No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.

Application

Head technicians or stage management personnel would generally undertake this role.

This unit has linkages with a range of other technical and general supervisory units. It is strongly recommended that this unit be assessed with or after the following unit:

CUETEM01C Coordinate production operations.

involvement of and interaction with a team for whom the candidate can plan and organise work.

Method of assessment

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:

evaluation of a bump in/bump out process coordinated by the candidate

evaluation of reports prepared by the candidate detailing the methods used to organise a bump in/bump out, challenges faced and how these were resolved

case studies and problem solving exercises to assess ability to plan for different operational situations and contexts

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of equipment procedures or safety issues

review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.
