Description
This unit covers reviewing process specifications and determining the production sequence.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Review process specifications
  • 1.1. Supporting engineering and production data is examined, where required.
  • 1.2. The production processes to be used are determined.
  • 1.3. Specifications are obtained and examined.
2. Determine production sequence
  • 2.1. Steps required for the process are identified and flow charts are produced where required in accordance with standard operating procedures.
  • 2.2. Material and parts lists are prepared in accordance with standard operating procedures.
  • 2.3. Tooling and/or equipment requirements are documented in accordance with standard operating procedures.
  • 2.4. Quality assurance steps and specifications are identified and incorporated into process steps.
  • 2.5. Process steps are documented and clearly represented in accordance with standard operating 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.
Production processes
Work planned over a specified timeframe, taking into account required and available resources
Steps
Steps and milestones against which progress can be checked
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
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to undertake basic process planning.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.
This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with basic process planning or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit.
Method of assessment
Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.
