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

Interpret/analyse data for production planning

Apply workplace health and safety policies in production operations

For a significant production requirement:

establish and confirm the production requirements

prepare the production plan

monitor and coordinate variations to the plan

maintain records

Work effectively with others

Resource implications

Access to real or appropriately simulated production planning situations in a furnishing enterprise context

This includes real or simulated work areas, materials, equipment, and information on work specifications, relevant safety procedures and regulations, quality standards, organisation procedures and customer requirements.

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

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

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

plan and organise activities, including the planning and scheduling of equipment, systems and materials to avoid any backtracking, 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 production computations and establish a statistical base for monitoring operational efficiency, and estimate material requirements

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

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

Required knowledge

production processes, products, machines, planning and forecasting software

work and workplace organisation systems

suppliers, their capabilities and customer requirements

safety and environmental aspects of relevant enterprise activities

workplace procedures and reporting/recording processes

relevant regulatory requirements and codes of practice

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

Work involves planning of production in a furnishing enterprise

The competency will relate to the interface between sales/marketing, purchasing and production areas and may involve dealing with the unpredictability of variables, such as sales, raw materials, machinery availability, operator availability and quality variations

Production operations may include: repetitive production runs, short runs, quick changes, indent orders, stock replenishment

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 conceptual, analytical and organisational ability, judgement and problem solving skills

Unit context

Work may be conducted in a large-scale production or small business situation in one of the following sectors:

cabinet making
