Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to manage and monitor all technical data and information creation, capture, use and monitoring activities within the data management system. This competency occurs with the system framework established by others. It may also be used to review these processes and activities. There are no specific licensing or certification requirements applicable to this unit.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1Designate detailed technical data and information use, and maintenance responsibilities
  • 1.1 Responsibilities for technical data and information use and maintenance activities are designated to staff in accordance with approved system framework, organisational policy and the abilities of individual staff
  • 1.2 Rules for the operation of the system are devised in compliance with approved systems framework
  • 1.3 Resources for approved budget period are allocated in accordance with policy and the strategic plan
2Develop key performance indicators for technical data management activities
  • 2.1 Measurable performance indicators are developed for technical data management activities in accordance with the authorised systems
  • 2.2 Data management responsibilities of individual personnel/organisational units are identified and documented
  • 2.3 Acceptable range of variation for compliance is determined based upon data management responsibilities, applicable data management system and organisation's risk management analysis
3Develop monitoring methodology
  • 3.1 Methodology for monitoring the technical data management system's rules, standards and procedures is developed based upon authorised systems
  • 3.2 Methodology developed includes timeframes involved, means of surveillance and form of reporting
  • 3.3 Methodology, performance criteria and the ranges of variation from the standards and rules are submitted to appropriate authority for approval
4Monitor a technical data management system
  • 4.1 Monitoring is undertaken in accordance with approved timeframes and frequency
  • 4.2 Staff being monitored are notified in accordance with organisational policy and guidelines, where applicable
  • 4.3 Any variation from data management system's framework, rule, standards and procedures that exceed the agreed limit is noted and details of the situation are recorded
  • 4.4 Where required, reports are provided to appropriate authority relating to technical data and information use and maintenance, and are in the required format, at the required intervals
5Identify and respond to problems and changes
  • 5.1 Problems and changes requiring a systematic response are identified from monitoring reports and external events
  • 5.2 Recommendations are made for revisions to systems, procedures, and future (strategic) plans in response to identified variations, changes and problems
  • 5.3 Amendments to systems are devised and implementation is planned, in response to problems and changes that require a systemic response
  • 5.4 Recommendations for system amendments and the planning and implementation required are prepared, and approval is sought from appropriate authority
  • 5.5 Procedures for using technical data and information systems, and subsequent alterations and amendments to the procedures are authorised, ensuring that performance indicator parameters and access rules are adhered to
6Designate technical data and information creation and capture responsibilities
  • 6.1 Responsibilities for technical data and information creation and capture activities are designated to staff in accordance with organisational policy
  • 6.2 Technical data and information creation and capture performance targets are set within the parameters of the technical data management plan
  • 6.3 Resources for the budget period are allocated in accordance with organisational policy and strategic plan
RANGE STATEMENT
