Description
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to introduce competitive systems and practices into a small or medium operations enterprise (SME). The unit may also apply to any small or medium not-for-profit organisation seeking to improve their processes through competitive systems and practices. The unit covers any constraints that may be placed on how competitive systems and practices are introduced and which aspects of competitive systems and practices are introduced due to the limitations of being a SME. This unit requires the application of skills associated with problem solving, initiative, enterprise, planning and organising in order to determine competitive systems and practices processes appropriate for a small business environment. This unit also requires communication and analysis skills to gather information about processes and implement competitive systems and practices strategies.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
