Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

AHCAGB503A - Plan and monitor production processes

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Determine production process requirements

  1. Information regarding the characteristics of products being grown or refined/manufactured and their respective market requirements is accessed.
  2. Characteristics of the land under production and the quality and amount of existing infrastructure are confirmed from colleagues and other planning processes.
  3. Historical data, including recent data from organisational records is identified and accessed for input to production planning.
  4. Information regarding other organisational planning processes and potential for improvements or innovations is collected and used to inform production planning.
  5. Requirements of the organisation are taken into consideration during analysis.
  6. Production processes required to efficiently achieve the targeted production requirements in line with organisational policies are identified and compared with those that currently exist.
  7. Details regarding production planning are used as input to other organisational planning processes.
Information regarding the characteristics of products being grown or refined/manufactured and their respective market requirements is accessed.

Determine monitoring requirements and systems

  1. Production targets for each enterprise and each product, crop, herd, or flock are established from the range of organisational management and strategic plans.
  2. Scheduling for production processes is determined taking varying organisational factors into consideration.
  3. Environmental and waste management controls are established and specifically included in the production plan.
  4. Monitoring points and performance indicators for the production process are established using target, environmental management and scheduling information.
  5. Prepared risk management strategies are put into place and acted upon when necessary.
  6. A plan is prepared that documents the decisions taken, the assessments made, the targets established, and any specific issues that relate to environmental and Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) risks.

Monitor/evaluate effectiveness of production processes

  1. Checks are made to ensure that the performance indicators, targets, and specifications are being met and amendments to the process are made where necessary.
  2. The effectiveness of the production processes is evaluated at key points and adjustments are made as necessary.
  3. Environmental impacts and OHS hazards relating to production processes are identified, monitored and assessed throughout the production cycle.
  4. Modifications are made to the production process when made necessary by shifting priorities and results.
  5. Data, observations and documentation from the production process are analysed against the plan according to organisation guidelines.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy holistically all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge and include achievement of the following:

identify production processes required to achieve targeted production

establish production targets for each enterprise and each product, crop, herd, or flock

schedule production processes with monitoring points and performance indicators

evaluate production processes and make modifications

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions. Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances.

interpret, analyse and extract information from a range sources such as professional literature, legal documents, discussions and workshops

identify, build and use network and support groups
