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 person will be able to analyse their process and implement systems to ensure the process is mistake proof and the operators, work in a predictable way with little or no chance of mistake.

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

Evidence of actions taken to mistake proof the process should be available.

In what context should assessment occur?

Assessment needs to occur in a workplace implementing competitive manufacturing or by using a suitable project.

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

This unit may be used as a stand alone unit or it may be assessed concurrently with any of:

MSACMT250A Monitor process capability

MSACMT450A Undertake process capability improvements

MSACMT650A Determine and improve process capability.

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?

Where evidence is from the application of baka-yoke to continuous improvement, then there should be evidence that it is practiced routinely and from a number of standardisation activities. Where the evidence is from an initial standardisation of a process, or a single, large and complex standardisation/change process the may provide sufficient evidence.

What are the specific resource requirements for this unit?

Access to an organisation using a competitive manufacturing approach.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills:

communication ability to discuss items with both operators and technical support personnel

problem solving

analysis

team work

design conceptualisation.

Required knowledge:

understanding of their process

factors in the process which may cause variability

methods of controlling the variability in the process

mistake proofing methods relevant to the process/product.

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.

Mistake proofing

Sometimes known as baka-yoke/poka-yoke, a manufacturing technique of preventing mistakes by designing the manufacturing process, equipment, tools and components/subassemblies etc so that an operation literally cannot be performed incorrectly. An attempt to perform incorrectly, as well as being prevented, is usually met with a warning signal of some sort.

Procedures

Procedures include all work instructions, standard operating procedures, formulas/recipes, batch sheets, temporary instructions and similar instructions provided for the operation of the plant. They may be written, verbal, computer based or in some other form.

For the purposes of this Training Package, 'procedures' also includes good operating practice as may be defined by industry codes of practice (e.g. Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Responsible Care) and government regulations.
