Description
This qualification applies to managers, technical specialists or those in similar roles who develop and/or implement strategies to solve problems and improve processes in organisations implementing competitive systems and practices.
This qualification complements but does not duplicate qualifications which cover the specific operational or technical skills required in an industry or job role. The qualification is an add-on, or overlay, for a person who has existing skills in their work for example in production, logistics, administration, healthcare, maintenance, financial services, warehousing, agribusinesses or other industries or job roles.
Where the person does not hold those skills the appropriate qualifications from other Training Packages should be considered.
The qualification is not suitable for direct entry from school.
The qualification assumes that the person has current or past experience where operational or technical skills have already been gained and a managerial or technician level of responsibility exists.
‘Competitive Systems and Practices’ is not an approach or system in its own right. It is a broad collective term intended to encompass the flexible application of various tools, techniques, systems and approaches that have synergies around continuous improvement, efficiency, business improvement and similar goals. Examples include Lean, Agile, Kaizen and Six Sigma.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication.
