Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to schedule production for a small work unit. For scheduling within an enterprise or large section see ICPSU455C Supervise and schedule work of others and ICPSU456C Control production.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Identify production requirements and capacities
- 1.1. Printing, converting and finishing production data is identified
- 1.2. Inventory capacities and requirements are identified
- 1.3. Procurement and supply requirements and constraints are identified
- 1.4. Production capacity for the workgroup is identified
- 1.5. Production constraints for the workgroup are identified
- 1.6. Standard times for the workgroup are identified
2. Prepare production schedule for small work unit
- 2.1. Scheduling is done in conjunction with overall scheduling of other units and processes
- 2.2. Production schedule is prepared according to production, inventory, procurements, time constraints and supply capacities and requirements
- 2.3. Schedule is documented according to enterprise procedures
- 2.4. Schedule is modified as required
3. Monitor production
- 3.1. Production is monitored
- 3.2. Any necessary changes in scheduling, and the reasons for this, are reported according to enterprise procedures
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.
Print processes may include:
any processes in pre-press, press, finishing, screen printing.
Scope of scheduling may include:
applies to the scheduling for a single small production work unit or production cell, or workstation or work unit; or a single production process where there are only a small number of constraints or variables. The scheduling applies to only a part of the overall production process.

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.
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
effectively scheduling production for a small work unit
produce a portfolio that shows all appropriate paperwork for one month's scheduling according to the listed Performance Criteria for a single small production unit in pre-press, printing, screen printing, converting or finishing
evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.
