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!

MSS405075A - Facilitate the development of a new product

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

Confirm design brief of new product in consultation with relevant people

  1. Review product design with customer and other key stakeholders and agree on technical specification, aesthetic requirements, timelines, cost and other market requirements
  2. Determine any regulatory, industry code/intellectual property requirements for product
  3. Identify any required tooling, process or equipment needs
  4. Confirm design brief, including relevant drawings, to meet needs
  5. Determine design brief conforms to organisation objectives and capability
  6. Obtain approval on total design brief from all relevant personnel

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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

Organisation objectives and requirements

Organisation objectives and requirements may include:

Board or management guidelines on:

cost/profit requirements for new products (e.g. minimum return and capital expenditure limits)

encouragement/discouragement of different types of products (e.g. on sustainability, ethical or other non-individual customer related criteria)

potential or actual capacity conflicts with other customers or product/process activities

activities that require/may require community consultation (e.g. on noise or other environmental grounds)

Tools and equipment

Tools and equipment may include:

understanding of use of all standard processing equipment

relevant personal protective equipment

Typical regulatory requirements

Typical regulatory requirements may include:

occupational health and safety (OHS)

environmental regulations

structural codes

product/industry specific requirements

Typical problems

Typical problems may include:

defining product end-use requirements in terms meaningful to the product design and manufacture

matching suitable materials and processes to the product needs and company expertise and facilities

matching (and improving) process capability to product tolerances

Relevant factors

Relevant factors may include:

type of material

dimensional precision of product

length of run/number of products

required aesthetics

size and complexity of product

available capital funding

process equipment available

HSE factors

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Required skills include:

selecting and justifying the selection of:

type of material/material specification

appropriate process for a range of product/market applications

material and product testing procedures

applying theoretical principles to predict:

properties of product based on materials selected

identifying effects of processes and processing on the final properties of the product mathematically determine:

product cost estimates

process time

cost/benefit to organisation of new product

communicating at all levels in the organisation and value stream and to audiences of different levels of literacy and numeracy

interpreting and making recommendations based on:

field test results

market analysis data

trialling data

organisation objectives and business plan

equipment and operations capacity

Required knowledge

Required knowledge includes:

materials, equipment and process sufficient to choose an appropriate combination of materials and process to achieve the end use function of the product

enterprise procedures and relevant regulatory requirements along with the ability to implement them within appropriate time constraints and work standards
