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!

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.

Critical Aspects of Evidence

Locate, interpret and apply relevant information

Apply safety requirements throughout the work sequence, including the use of personal protective clothing and equipment

Analyse job requirements and materials and equipment capabilities

For a specified and significant production operation organise the implementation of operational plans, including:

conduct of trials

coordination of the production process

evaluation of the production process

reporting on the success of the process

Lead others and work effectively to organise for production

Encourage participation of employees in the planning of work activities and changes

Suggest improvements to production operations and where appropriate, negotiate changes

Resource Implications

Production equipment, raw materials, personnel and production plans and schedules.

Method of Assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.

Context of Assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

research, collect, organise and understand information related to the organisation of production processes, including the relevant technical, regulatory, cultural, environmental and safety requirements

communicate ideas and information to enable clarification of the conceptual requirements, coordination of work with site supervisors, workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of equipment, systems and materials to avoid any back tracking, workflow interruptions or wastage

work with others and foster the team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, complete production computations and estimate material requirements

create and apply systematic problem solving techniques to anticipate production problems, avoid reworking and avoid wastage

use the workplace technology related to production, including machinery, plant, tools and equipment, calculators and measuring devices and computing/computer-aided systems

Required knowledge

organisational and workflow theory

work leadership theory

company business policies and plans, including procedures for setting up for production

company products, market, work systems and equipment

machine processes relevant to the production

quality procedures, inspection and testing requirements

legislative requirements of the work activities

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, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. 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) may also be included.

Unit scope

This unit covers the work involved in the operational organisation, preparation, trialling and monitoring of production processes for enterprises within the furnishing industry

Operational resources include personnel, equipment and machinery, production materials and consumables, and infrastructure

Unit context
