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 to organise products into groups on one (1) or more occasions and to:

determine the basis for the organisation

apply an appropriate analysis tools

test sensitivity

develop a strategic response.

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

methodologies for sorting of products and service events and their advantages and disadvantages (e.g. Pareto analysis and the Glenday Sieve)

analysing operations to identify current batching and non-flow related activities

identifying opportunities for increased customer pull and flow-based operations

ways of developing a strategic response.

Range Statement
