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!

AHCCOM402A - Plan and schedule compost production

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

Establish production requirements

  1. Raw material supply contracts and receival data, sales and market trend information, and corporate marketing plan and strategy are reviewed to quantify production requirements.
  2. Conditions that may affect production requirements are identified in consultation with executive management and designated sales and marketing personnel.
  3. Production requirements across product portfolio to meet customer requirements and site and equipment capacity are estimated in consultation with executive management and designated sales and marketing personnel.
  4. Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) impacts are monitored for compliance with enterprise plan and licence conditions.
  5. Production plan is documented and submitted for executive management approval.
  6. Facilities, personnel, machinery and equipment required for compost production are confirmed as being available.
  7. Contingency plan to address potential oversupply or undersupply of raw material or product is developed and documented.
Raw material supply contracts and receival data, sales and market trend information, and corporate marketing plan and strategy are reviewed to quantify production requirements.

Schedule production to meet requirement

  1. Batch types and volumes of compost-based products to be produced are calculated.
  2. Laboratory and field test data of compost materials during and post-production is obtained.
  3. Production schedule is monitored and adjusted according to field and laboratory test results.
  4. Product is made available to customer in required quantities, to required quality and at required time.

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 and interpret relevant information and conditions that could influence compost production

produce and document a compost production schedule

document a compost production plan consistent with enterprise capabilities and constraints

develop and document contingency plans for compost production.

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.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

analysing and interpreting supply contract documents, production data, weighbridge/receival data, field and laboratory results

identifying and diagnosing problems with production

using a computer

visually recognising problematic mixtures of raw materials for composting

use literacy skills to read, interpret and follow organisational policies and procedures, develop sequenced written instructions, record accurately and legibly information collected and select and apply procedures to a range of tasks

use oral communication skills/language competence to fulfil the job role as specified by the organisation including questioning, active listening, asking for clarification, negotiating solutions and responding to a range of views

use numeracy skills to estimate, calculate and record routine and more complex workplace measures and data

use interpersonal skills to work with others and relate to people from a range of cultural, social and religious backgrounds and with a range of physical and mental abilities.

Required knowledge

control of hazards in handling raw materials and product

processing duration required for various raw materials

raw materials and their characteristics

relationship between key compost recipe variables and compost production

systems, technologies and methods in compost production.

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole.

Technologies may include:

both aerobic composting and vermiculture technologies.
