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!

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include the ability, for at least one (1) constrained process, to:

identify capacity constrained resource (bottleneck) in own work area

manage capacity constrained resource (drum)

determine schedule based on capacity constrained resource.

Must provide evidence that demonstrates knowledge relevant to their job role sufficient to fulfil their job role independently, including:

theory of constraints

concepts of weakest link (often colloquially known as the drum)

duration (in production applications this is often known as material release buffer or inventory to protect the weakest link/constraint)

release timing of buffer (colloquially called ‘rope’)

processes, products, internal and external customers for own work area.
