Application

This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to review process specifications and determine the production sequence and applies to one of a range of processes in manufacturing: machining, pressing, assembly and to a stage of the overall production process.

It does not apply to interfacing between processes.

Where planning 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 and interpreting engineering and production data and determining production processes, including work planned over a specified timeframe, taking into account required and available resources

identifying steps and milestones against which progress can be checked and preparing flow charts in accordance with procedures

preparing material and parts lists and documenting tooling and/or equipment requirements in accordance with SOPs.

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

production processes found within the organisation

tooling and/or equipment requirements for workplace processes

quality assurance requirements.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must:

have vocational competency in undertaking basic process planning 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.
