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, the range statement and the assessment guidelines for this training package.

Overview of assessment requirements

The competent person would be able to lead a competitive manufacturing team and facilitate their improving the process.

What critical aspects of evidence is required to demonstrate competency in this unit?

Evidence of effective team leadership would be required.

In what context should assessment occur?

Assessment needs to occur in an organisation implementing a competitive manufacturing environment or by a project.

Are there any other units which could or should be assessed with this unit or which relate directly to this unit?

This unit could be assessed concurrently with other team leader units dealing with change/improvement in the organisation.

What method of assessment should apply?

Assessors must be satisfied that the person can consistently perform the unit as a whole, as defined by the elements, performance criteria, skills and knowledge. A holistic approach should be taken to the assessment.

Assessors should gather sufficient, fair, valid, reliable, authentic and current evidence from a range of sources. Sources of evidence may include direct observation, reports from supervisors, peers and colleagues, project work, samples, organisation records and questioning. Assessment should not require language, literacy or numeracy skills beyond those required for the unit.

The assessee will have access to all techniques, procedures, information, resources and aids which would normally be available in the workplace.

The method of assessment should be discussed and agreed with the assessee prior to the commencement of the assessment

What evidence is required for demonstration of consistent performance?

Evidence from one significant manufacturing improvement or change process may be sufficient. For less significant improvement or changes, a range of changes will be needed to generate sufficient evidence.

What are the specific resource requirements for this unit?

Access to an organisation implementing a significant change to or in competitive manufacturing.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills:

communication techniques

negotiation skills

information finding and analysing/using skills

team work

planning and organising

problem solving

Required knowledge:

understanding of the competitive manufacturing process or processes used at the enterprise

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.

Competitive manufacturing

Competitive manufacturing is used to describe the range of systemic manufacturing practice concepts and approaches. It covers but is not limited to:

lean manufacturing

agile manufacturing

preventative and predictive maintenance approaches

monitoring and data gathering systems such as Systems control and data acquisition software (SCADA), enterprise resource planning systems (ERP), Manufacturing resource planning (MRP), and proprietary systems such as SAP etc.

statistical process control systems including six sigma and three sigma

just in time, kanban and other pull related manufacturing control systems

supply, value, and demand chain monitoring and analysis

other continuous improvement systems.

Competitive manufacturing should be interpreted so as to take into account the stage of implementation of competitive manufacturing approaches, the enterprise's size and work organisation, culture, regulatory environment and manufacturing sector..

Team

Team may include work teams from all sections of the organisation including production, maintenance, technical, administration/finance, sales/marketing.

Budgets

Budgets include financial, time, materials/product and other business plans which are relevant to the team and the work area.

Waste

Waste (also known as muda in the Toyota Production System and its derivatives) is any activity which does not contribute to customer benefit/features in the product. Within manufacturing, categories of waste include:

excess production and early production

delays

movement and transport

poor process design

inventory

inefficient performance of a process

making defective items

Waste for this unit may include activities which do not yield any benefit to the organisation or any benefit to the organisations customers.

Key reliability issues

Key reliability issues are typically things like cleanliness, lubrication and correct adjustment which are most likely to lead to failure.
