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.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Demonstrates skills and knowledge required to:

critically review continuous improvement processes.

In particular look for evidence of:

review of use of competitive tools

introduction of new tools or modification of the use of existing tools

integration of tools with the overall manufacturing strategy and future state.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment. Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability.

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required. Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities.

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Manufacturing Training Package.

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge.

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application.

Assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process.

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency where required.

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

decision making

communication at all levels

situation analysis

negotiation

Required knowledge

competitive manufacturing principles

competitive manufacturing tools, their applications and limitations

customer benefit

ways of determining competency gaps

define, measure, analyse, improve and control (DMAIC) process applied to tool use

desired future state

how to measure progress towards desired future state

root cause analysis

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.

Future state

Future state may include:

process reliability

waste

health, safety and environment (HSE)

maintenance

systems

Codes of practice/standards

Where reference is made to industry codes of practice, and/or Australian/international standards, the latest version must be used

Health, safety and environment (HSE)

All changes implemented are expected to be at least neutral, or preferably beneficial, in their impact on health, safety and environment

Organisation

Organisation includes:

any part of a manufacturing or service organisation

companies, government bodies or other body of people aiming to produce a product to service a customer

Desired future state

Desired future state refers to:

the agreed position of where the organisation wants to be

Competitive tools

Those techniques used to improve competitive manufacturing, typically described in the competitive manufacturing 'tools units' including:

5S

Just in time (JIT)/kanban

quick changeover

root cause analysis

value chain mapping

proactive/preventative maintenance

6 sigma

standardisation

balance scorecard

Progress not to plan

Progress not to plan includes:

both progress which falls short of plan and which exceeds plan

Improvements

Improvements include:

the use of different or additional tools

the application of the current tools in use in a different way

a change of emphasis from 'tools' to an accepted part of the organisation's culture

Manager

Manager may include:

any person who may have either a permanent or an ad hoc role in facilitating the function of multiple teams in a workplace, departments or entire organisations
