Application

This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to identify material requirements and schedule material delivery and applies to the estimating, planning and scheduling of material deliveries so that materials are available to the specifications and quantities required.

This unit is not intended to be used by personnel carrying out maintenance and installation.

Where scheduling is based on engineering drawings and supporting engineering data, appropriate units of competence should also be selected.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

What You'll Learn

Assessment Requirements

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least two (2) occasions and include:

following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices

identifying type and quantity of materials required from appropriate documentation

scheduling material delivery in accordance with established organisational practices and procedures and following up any material or supply problems

processing orders onto proformas and standard workplace forms in accordance with procedures.

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate the required knowledge for this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

safe work practices and procedures

identification of material specifications from appropriate documentation

established organisational practice and procedures relating to estimating, ordering and follow up of materials

interpretation of production plans, or job sequencing requirements.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must:

have vocational competency in scheduling material deliveries at least to the level being assessed with relevant industry knowledge and experience

satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 or its replacement and comply with the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011, its replacement or equivalent legislation covering VET regulation in a non-referring state/territory as the case requires

Where possible assessment must occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment that reflects realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills

Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
