Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT 

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA 

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Determine job resource requirements

1.1 Job requirements are correctly interpreted from client brief or job information

1.2 Scope of required human, financial and physical resources is identified based on job information

1.3 Costs are estimated according to chosen pricing models and estimating practices

1.4 Budget plans are established and checked against estimations to deliver accurate, documented costing

1.5 Scheduling and time management is integrated into project planning and monitoring

1.6 Human resources are incorporated within project framework

1.7 Business transactions are undertaken ethically and according to law

2. Plan digital production workflow

2.1 Workflow stages are identified to determine sequencing

2.2 Workflow is sequenced for optimum production efficiency and job quality

2.3 Technical processes and protocols are integrated into the workflow

2.4 Need for new sequences is evaluated according to job requirements and feasibility tests

2.5 Evaluation mechanisms are incorporated at key stages of work

2.6 Workflow is documented according to project needs and enterprise requirements

3. Monitor workflow and resources

3.1 Work processes and progress are monitored against plans

3.2 Colleagues are assisted to achieve outcomes with technical and other support

3.3 Actual job costs are documented and monitored against budgets, and variations are communicated to appropriate people

3.4 Need for variations is identified and adjustments made as required

4. Finalise job

4.1 Job is completed with required outcome achieved within designated timeframes and costs

4.2 Estimated and actual costs are reviewed and used to inform future planning

4.3 Efficiency and quality of outcomes are evaluated and findings incorporated for future planning

Foundation Skills

This section describes language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills incorporated in the performance criteria that are required for competent performance.

Release 

Comments 

Release 1

This version first released with ICP Printing and Graphic Arts Training Package Version 1.0.

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

  • manage digital production workflow for at least THREE different publications, including print and electronic:
  • determine required level of resource from client requirements
  • accurately cost the work
  • complete workflow planning
  • monitor workflow
  • manage resources
  • finalise jobs with required outcome and within required timeframe and budget.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

  • explain key considerations for management of a digital workflow process:
  • project planning and scheduling requirements
  • costing and resources issues
  • communication and approvals processes
  • work sequencing
  • work monitoring processes
  • content management
  • file management – naming, storage, saving, archiving
  • editing processes
  • distribution
  • outline costing/estimating methods for digital work
  • identify elements that can be adjusted in estimations if they consistently do not match costs
  • identify work health and safety (WHS) concerns to consider when planning production
  • describe key aspects of monitoring workflow and resources:
  • what needs to be monitored to maintain standards
  • who is involved in monitoring
  • role of keeping accurate production records
  • review of production records and actual costs
  • outline common causes of failure in each area of work monitored, and procedures to minimise the effects of these
  • discuss processes to make improvements that impact quality standards
  • outline evaluation and review processes for digital work
  • describe features of computerised production monitoring systems used to accurately assess costs.

Assessment Conditions

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the printing field of work and include access to relevant facilities, equipment and materials used for digital publication.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
