Description
This unit describes the application of the required skills and knowledge to manage personal workplaces to achieve work production and quality goals. No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Identify and achieve work production goals
- 1.1. Procedural instructions for the job are obtained, interpreted and clarified, if necessary, with appropriate personnel
- 1.2. Relevant specifications for task outcomes are obtained, interpreted and clarified, if necessary, with appropriate personnel
- 1.3. Schedules and work plans are obtained, interpreted and clarified, if necessary, with appropriate personnel so that completion times and other requirements are identified
- 1.4. Procedural instructions, task specifications, schedules and work plans are effectively applied throughout work
- 1.5. Achievement of work production goals is reviewed and responded to by team members
2. Identify and achieve work quality goals
- 2.1. Quality instruction and procedures for the job are obtained, interpreted and clarified, if necessary, with appropriate personnel
- 2.2. Quality performance indicators are obtained, interpreted and clarified, if necessary, with appropriate personnel
- 2.3. Quality instructions and procedures are effectively applied throughout the work
- 2.4. Satisfaction of quality performance indicators is continuously monitored and variations responded to promptly
- 2.5. Achievement of quality goals is reviewed and recommendations for changes/improvements are discussed and developed
3. Respond flexibly to changed work requirements
- 3.1. The need and reason for changes in work requirements are clarified with appropriate personnel
- 3.2. Changes in schedules and work requirements are recognised, acknowledged and responded to positively when they occur
- 3.3. Changed requirements are responded to, in accordance with organisation procedures, to meet objectives and task requirements
- 3.4. Outcomes are compared with planned objectives, tasks, instructions, specifications and task requirements
4. Contribute to cost reduction initiatives
- 4.1. Measures to control and/or minimise costs in the work area are identified and clarified with the appropriate personnel
- 4.2. Cost performance indicators and related work processes are identified, interpreted and clarified
- 4.3. Cost aspects of processes are applied and/or monitored throughout the work
- 4.4. Achievement of cost reduction targets is reviewed in conjunction with the team/works leader and the targets are continued/modified as necessary
5. Predict and recognise problems and take appropriate action
- 5.1. Problems which will have an impact on work plans are predicted if possible, and recognised when they occur
- 5.2. Action is taken to adjust work plans when changes to schedules occur and the action is promptly reported
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 in the Performance Criteria is detailed below. Add any 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.
Appropriate personnel may include:
supervisors
team members
team leaders
suppliers
clients and managers.
Quality performance indicators may include:
those established within each organisation quality system and may include identification
minimisation and elimination of defects
product/component specifications, tolerances
inspection systems
packaging specifications
non-conforming parts or products.
Changes in work requirements may result from variations in:
process change
line speed
interruptions to parts supply/quality and personnel absences.
Cost performance indicators may include:
cost benchmarks
waste avoidance
power conservation
productivity achievement
continuous improvement levels.

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the following is essential:
compliance with relevant legislative, regulations, standards, codes of practice and establish safe practices and organisation policies and procedures for managing personal work priorities
maintaining a working knowledge of current work systems and practices
working and communicating effectively and positively with others involved in the work
applying, within authority, the requirements of the job or work role in relation to:
achieving production goals
achieving work quality goals
responding positively to changing work requirements
contributing effectively to cost reduction initiatives
effectively applying problem solving techniques
modify activities to cater for variations in organisation context and environment.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
assessment of the competency should take place in a safe working environment in a passenger motor vehicle manufacturing plant or simulated environment using tools/equipment/machinery required for the production process without undue disruption to the production process
assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.
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:
assessment must take place in accordance with the endorsed Assessment Guidelines for the Automotive Industry
assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of organisation relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge
assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application
assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process
assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.
