Description
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to study process data to determine process capability using statistical process control techniques.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Prepare to conduct a capability study
- 1.1. The scope and purpose of the process is identified
- 1.2. A representative data sample is determined
- 1.3. Data collection techniques are selected
- 1.4. Data is collected to meet sampling requirements
2. Analyse data to determine process capability
- 2.1. Appropriate statistical analysis techniques are selected and applied
- 2.2. Process stability and extent of variation are identified
- 2.3. The target mean for the process is identified
- 2.4. Process control parameters are calculated
- 2.5. Related data sampling requirements are specified
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.
Data collection
Data collection is specified and may be collected by others
Data analysis
Data analysis typically involves the use of statistical analysis software

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
Assessment must be carried out in a manner that recognises the cultural and literacy requirements of the assessee and is appropriate to the work performed. Competence in this unit must be achieved in accordance with food safety standards and regulations.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of ability to:
determine scope of and purpose of study
establish data collection parameters
select data collection technique
collect and analyse data
determine process capability
complete workplace records as required
apply safe work practices and identify occupational health and safety (OHS) hazards and controls.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must occur in a real or simulated workplace where the assessee has access to:
workplace processes and procedures
workplace documentation, including process specifications/purpose, sampling plan and control chart formats, and related data collection methods, such as log sheets
data collection and analysis software and systems as appropriate
communication systems.
Method of assessment
This unit should be assessed together with core units and other units of competency relevant to the function or work role.
Guidance information for assessment
To ensure consistency in one's performance, competency should be demonstrated on more than one occasion over a period of time in order to cover a variety of circumstances, cases and responsibilities, and where possible, over a number of assessment activities.
