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!

MSS403084A - Improve changeovers

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

Record changeover process

  1. Identify customer requirements and other specifications for required product or service
  2. Identify last off good product or service and check against customer requirements and specifications
  3. Identify likely start and required finish situations for last off or first off good product or service
  4. Process map required steps in changeover
  5. Identify any optional or alternative process steps
  6. Record times and other relevant data on map
  7. Confirm changeover map with relevant people
Identify customer requirements and other specifications for required product or service

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:

follow process maps

categorise changeover steps as either internal or external

perform changeovers in accordance with procedures

recommend improvements to the changeover procedure.

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:

planning own work

communicating with people relevant to job

following standard procedures and practices

developing and using process maps

timing process steps

Required knowledge

Required knowledge includes:

equipment and processes used in area subject to changeover

drawing and interpretation of process maps

quick changeover principles

relevant procedures and quality requirements

purpose of the changeover and of making quick changeovers

authorisation processes for change

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

Changeover

A changeover occurs when a person is required to work on more than one product and to change between them as part of the work role. The product may be a physical or non-physical product and changeover may require some or all of the following:

a change of equipment or parts

changing (computer or paper) files

changing computer software or templates

other changes

Waste

Waste (also known as muda in the Toyota Production System and its derivatives) is usually defined by the ‘seven wastes’ which may include, but are not limited to:

overproduction

waiting

transporting

inappropriate processing

unnecessary inventory

excess motion

defects

underutilised employees

having no-one follow

Internal and external changeover activities

Internal changeover activities are defined as:

work that can be done only when the machine or process is not actively engaged in production (i.e. only while the changeover is occurring)

External changeover activities are defined as:

work that can be done concurrently with the machine or process performing production/work duties (i.e. either before or after the changeover proper)
