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 undertake one (1) or more process capability improvements and to:

obtain required data

determine process capability/trial limits

use the data and other information to develop process improvement proposal(s)

monitor the improved process and make further adjustments as appropriate.

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

data collection and manipulation techniques

variability, normal distribution and three/six sigma limits

causes of random and non-random variation in the process

approaches to reducing variability.

Range Statement

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Competitive systems and practices include one or more of:

lean operations

agile operations

preventative and predictive maintenance approaches

statistical process control systems, including six sigma and three sigma

Variation includes all of:

random variation (no assignable cause)

non-random variation (which has an assignable cause).

Improved process capability may result from one or more of:

continuous improvement with the process capability being recalculated periodically

an improvement project with the process capability recalculated as part of that project.

Procedures (written, verbal, visual, computer based, etc.) include one or any combination of:

work instructions

standard operating procedures (SOPs)

safe work method statements

formulas/recipes
