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!

MSACMT640A - Manage 5S system in a manufacturing environment

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Organise an appropriate environment for 5S

  1. Arrange for team leaders to develop/maintain skills required for 5S
  2. Ensure team leaders are developing/maintaining skills required in their team members
  3. Ensure procedures and work practices reflect 5S needs and regulatory requirements
  4. Practise 5S in own work
  5. Eliminate roadblocks to 5S

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

There should be evidence of successful application of 5S in the individual's area of responsibility and their positive interaction with it.

What are the specific resource requirements for this unit?

Access to a workplace implementing or practising 5S. No other specific resources are required.

In what context should assessment occur?

Assessment needs to occur in a workplace practising or implementing 5S.

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 units relating to the person's interactions with their team

This unit differs from MSACMT440A Lead 5S in a manufacturing environment which covers the intermediate skill levels in CM.

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?

5S needs to be a routine, natural part of everyone's job. As such there should be evidence of consistent application of 5S over an extended period.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication

planning

organising

prioritising

reading and interpretation

recording

problem solving

teamwork

negotiation

Required knowledge

meaning and application of 5S to their job

principles of efficient workplace organisation

purposes of 5S

procedures relevant to jobs

relevant regulatory requirements

identification of skill gaps

methods of addressing skill gaps

ways of encouraging team leaders and operators to find and suggest areas for improvement

methods of making/recommending improvements

methods of accessing required resources

non-conformance, what they are, assessment of severity and action to be taken

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 (SCADA) software, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP), and proprietary systems such as SAP

statistical process control systems, including six sigma and three sigma

Just in Time (JIT), 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.

Procedures

Procedures include all work instructions, standard operating procedures, formulas/recipes, batch sheets, temporary instructions and similar instructions provided for the smooth running 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 (eg Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Responsible Care) and government regulations.

Roadblocks

Includes all factors which are inhibiting the smooth implementation of 5S.

5S

5S is a system of work organisation originally developed in Japan based around housekeeping principles.

A close translation of the five stages in the housekeeping approach is:

sort

set in order

shine

standardise

sustain.
