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 for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the ability to:

identify own tasks and responsibilities and relate them to organisation and customer requirements

identify and explain the stages of 5S

implement 5S in own work area

identify waste (muda) in the work area.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of performance must be undertaken in a workplace using or implementing one or more competitive systems and practices.

Access may be required to:

workplace procedures and plans relevant to work area

specifications and documentation relating to planned, currently being implemented, or implemented changes to work processes and procedures relevant to the assessee

documentation and information in relation to production, waste, overheads and hazard control/management

reports from supervisors/managers

case studies and scenarios to assess responses to contingencies.

Method of assessment

A holistic approach should be taken to the assessment.

Competence in this unit may be assessed by using a combination of the following to generate evidence:

demonstration in the workplace

workplace projects

suitable simulation

case studies/scenarios (particularly for assessment of contingencies, improvement scenarios, and so on)

targeted questioning

reports from supervisors, peers and colleagues (third-party reports)

portfolio of evidence.

In all cases it is expected that practical assessment will be combined with targeted questioning to assess underpinning knowledge.

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

Guidance information for assessment

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

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Required skills include:

communicating with others to clarify issues during 5S implementation, communicate results and contribute suggestions for improvement

visualising operations in terms of flow and contribution to customer outcomes

planning own tasks in implementation of 5S

implementing 5S in own work area according to instructions

identifying waste (muda)

prioritising activities and items

reading and interpreting documents describing procedures

recording activities and results against templates and other prescribed formats

working with others

solving problems

Required knowledge

Required knowledge includes:

operations and processes relevant to own job

meaning and application of 5S steps to own job and work area

principles of efficient workplace organisation

purposes of 5S

methods of making/recommending improvements

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 systems and practices

Competitive systems and practices may include, but are not limited to:

lean operations

agile operations

preventative and predictive maintenance approaches

monitoring and data gathering systems, such as Systems Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) software, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, Materials Resource Planning (MRP) and proprietary systems

statistical process control systems, including six sigma and three sigma

Just in Time (JIT), kanban and other pull-related operations control systems

supply, value, and demand chain monitoring and analysis

5S

continuous improvement (kaizen)

breakthrough improvement (kaizen blitz)

cause/effect diagrams

overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)

takt time

process mapping

problem solving

run charts

standard procedures

current reality tree

Competitive systems and practices should be interpreted so as to take into account:

the stage of implementation of competitive systems and practices

the size of the enterprise

the work organisation, culture, regulatory environment and the industry sector

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

Sort

Sort involves keeping only what is absolutely necessary for the processes in the work area. Sort includes:

clearing the work area of all non-essential equipment and materials

Non-essential items are those not required to either produce product, conduct process or operations, or make required adjustments to equipment during process or operations

Set in order

Set in order includes:

assigning required equipment and materials appropriate locations in the work area

Shine

Shine includes:

keeping the work area clean at all times. This should be carried out to a regular daily schedule against allowed time and, on most occasions, at the end of a job

Standardise

Standardising includes:

activities that help maintain the order and the housekeeping standards

using procedures and checklists developed from a procedure

Sustain

Sustain includes:

making sure that daily activities are completed every day regardless of circumstance

cleaning up after a job

undertaking inspections, including:

informal inspections carried out often, at least weekly

formal inspections carried out at least monthly

generating continuous improvement actions from daily activities

following up specific actions to generate continuous improvement

Items in work area

Items in work area may include:

tools

jigs/fixtures

materials/components

plant and equipment

manuals

personal items (e.g. bags, lunch boxes and posters)

safety equipment and personal protective equipment

other items which happen to be in the work area

Procedures

Procedures may include:

work instructions

standard operating procedures

formulas/recipes

batch sheets

temporary instructions and similar instructions provided for the operation of the plant

good operating practice as may be defined by industry codes of practice (e.g. good manufacturing practice (GMP) and responsible care) and government regulations

Procedures may be:

written, verbal, computer based or in some other format
