Description
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to quantitatively analyse past changes made in an organisation’s operations, systems, process or environment to ensure the quantum of expected change has been achieved and that gains are maintained and are used as a basis for further gains. The unit includes statistical and other mathematical analysis of data, methods for capturing data on implemented changes (quantitative and qualitative) and producing useful information from this data. It includes consultation with stakeholders both for data validation and consensus decision making for future improvements. This unit applies to team leaders, technical experts and people with a similar sphere of influence/scope of authority and responsibility who already have a knowledge of statistics used in managing operations and of process capability improvement and some knowledge of factorial design, the selection and analysis of appropriate metrics, and the discrimination between valid and invalid interpretations of data The unit applies to reviews of both intended and unintended consequences of change and the effectiveness of the implementation of the change. This unit is not intended to be applied to a technical or engineering review of a major capital expenditure or similar. This unit takes a largely quantitative approach to the review. This unit may also be applied to service organisations applying competitive systems and practices principles.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Analyse a change
- 1.1 Identify changes which have occurred.
- 1.2 Select a change or group of related changes to analyse.
- 1.3 Determine the initiation of the selected change.
- 1.4 Identify relevant metrics and predicted values for these metrics.
- 1.5 Gather data for these metrics prior to the change.
- 1.6 Gather data and information on the implementation of the change.
- 1.7 Gather data for these metrics after the change.
- 1.8 Survey all key metrics and identify anywhere variations may correlate with the change being analysed.
- 1.9 Discuss results of change with key stakeholders and identify other possible (qualitative or quantitative) results of the change.
- 1.10 Analyse this data to determine the results of the change.
2 Review results of change with stakeholders
- 2.1 Identify trends over time in all relevant metrics.
- 2.2 Analyse correlated metrics to determine causal relationship.
- 2.3 Audit health, safety and environment (HSE) impacts as a result of the change.
- 2.4 Present information in a form understandable by stakeholders.
- 2.5 Discuss analysed information with relevant stakeholders.
- 2.6 Modify information based on stakeholder input, as required.
- 2.7 Develop a consensus view of the result of the change which is supported by the information available.
- 2.8 Validate the consensus view with stakeholders.
3 Identify future improvements
- 3.1 Discuss lessons learned from the change with stakeholders.
- 3.2 Capture key knowledge in accordance with systems and procedures.
- 3.3 Identify future improvements in collaboration with team members.
- 3.4 Validate identified changes with stakeholders.
- 3.5 Obtain sign-off from process/system owner.
- 3.6 Start the process for implementing future improvements.
- 3.7 Check that the planned improvements are occurring.
- 3.8 Take action to sustain improvement by standardising.
