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

Purchase materials on a minimum of four occasions, including two different materials and at least one perishable consumable

Suggest improvements to purchasing operations and where authorised, negotiate changes

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace cultures and environment

Work effectively with others

Resource implications

Production operation with consumable and material requirements, preferred supplier lists and workplace procedures.

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/or samples of work and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

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

Context of assessment

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

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

collect, organise and understand information related to the purchasing systems and activities, including the relevant technical, regulatory, environmental and safety requirements

communicate ideas and information to enable clarification of the requirements, coordination of purchasing with site supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities to avoid any backtracking, workflow interruptions or wastage

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly, calculate and estimate material requirements

create and apply systematic problem solving techniques to anticipate purchasing problems, avoid re-working and avoid wastage

use the workplace technology related to the purchasing, including calculators and measuring devices and computing/computer-aided systems

Required knowledge

contemporary supply/purchasing systems theory

company operating procedures, including procedures for purchasing materials and consumables

material and consumable usage rates

operation requirements of equipment and work systems in own work area

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 sourcing and purchasing materials for production

Unit context

OHS requirements include legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous substances and dangerous goods codes and safe operating procedures

Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, authorised handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements

Work requires individuals to demonstrate administrative ability, discretion, judgement and problem solving skills

Workplace environment

The competency requires a detailed knowledge of the production processes of the enterprise and its support requirements

Work is generally performed with little external assistance and with minimal supervision or direction

Customers may be internal or external
