Critical aspects of evidence to be considered
Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:
analyse TCF supply chain systems
analyse the role of TCF suppliers
analyse criteria for assessing quality of TCF materials and products
perform routine tests on TCF materials and products to assess quality
assess strengths and weaknesses of TCF supply arrangements
interpret and use TCF specifications and terminology

Consistency in performance
Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:
organising work
completing tasks
identifying improvements
using workplace practices
using OHS practices
recording and reporting accidents and incidents
assessing operational readiness of equipment used and work processes
recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions
completing work systematically with attention to detail without damage to goods and equipment

Resource implications
Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Context for assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.

Interdependent assessment
