Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Identify production objectives
- 1.1. Production objectives are clearly and unambiguously identified and clarified in accordance with organisation requirements
2. Determine production team and resource requirements
- 2.1. Production team requirements are determined based on task requirements and necessary competencies
- 2.2. Suitable staff and/or contractors are selected based on competence and availability
- 2.3. Required raw materials, tools, equipment, assembly or fabrication jigs and other physical resources needed for the production are identified using relevant sources of information and a specification drawn up detailing the required quality and quantities
3. Develop production budget, quotas, time schedule and milestones
- 3.1. Identified production tasks and activities are costed in terms of staffing and resource requirements and incorporated into a production budget
- 3.2. A time schedule for the production is drawn up clearly showing the sequence and inter-relationships of activities as well as milestones and estimated start and completion dates
- 3.3. The production plan showing the resourcing arrangements, time schedule and proposed budget is submitted to the appropriate personnel and any necessary changes made
4. Assign production tasks to team
- 4.1. Production tasks and component activities are clearly identified and specified and assigned to team members based on their competence, experience and availability
- 4.2. The production team is briefed on their respective roles and responsibilities
5. Implement production plan
- 5.1. Requirements for major activities, staffing, resources, critical dates and the required final and intermediate outcomes of the production are confirmed prior to commencement of the production in accordance with the approved production plan and company requirements
- 5.2. Potential problems and complications are identified in the course of the production and suitable contingency action initiated in accordance with company procedures
- 5.3. Stakeholders (i.e. user departments, management, etc.) are kept informed of production objectives and progress throughout the production
6. Review production progress and outcomes
- 6.1. Production progress is closely monitored against the required quality of the products and sub-assemblies as well as adherence to both budget and time schedule, and reported to appropriate personnel
- 6.2. Adequate records are maintained of all key information pertaining to the production process in accordance with company requirements

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
identify production objectives
determine production staffing and resource requirements
develop production budget, quotas, time schedule and milestones - written / electronic
assign tasks to staff
implement production plan and review production progress and outcomes.
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 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.
