Unit of competency

Modification History

Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to MSS407008A Capture learning from daily activities in an organisation

Application

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to capture learning from the shop floor, suppliers and customers in order to contribute to a learning organisation.

This unit is intended for team leaders and people with a similar sphere of influence/scope of authority and responsibility. It applies to individuals who already have knowledge of competitive systems and practices, leading teams, analysing root cause and locking in improvements.

This unit takes a largely qualitative view of information and knowledge.

This unit may also be applied to service organisations applying competitive systems and practices principles.

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

Assessment requirements

Modification History

Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to MSS407008A Capture learning from daily activities in an organisation

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include the ability, for one (1) or more work areas/product families, to:

• recognise, extract and record learning from daily activities
• make and record ongoing additions to the organisation learning systems
• determine best means of communicating learning to stakeholders
• integrate learning with implementation of competitive systems and practices
• establish continuous improvement for the learning system.

Knowledge Evidence

Must provide evidence that demonstrates sufficient knowledge to interact with relevant personnel and be able to capture learning from daily activities, including knowledge of:

• competitive systems and practices tools
• organisational goals, strategies, operations and processes
• continuous improvement strategies and processes
• communication methods and media for a range of audiences
• root cause analysis (RCA)
• expected range of performance for operations and products
• types of knowledge capture and retrieval systems and their applicability.

Assessment Conditions

• The unit should be assessed holistically and the judgement of competence shall be based on a holistic assessment of the evidence.
• The collection of performance evidence is best done from a report and/or folio of evidence drawn from:

• a single project which provides sufficient evidence of the requirements of all the elements and performance criteria
• multiple smaller projects which together provide sufficient evidence of the requirements of all the elements and performance criteria.

• A third-party report, or similar, may be needed to testify to the work done by the individual, particularly when the project has been done as part of a project team.
• Assessment should use a real project where learning opportunities are identified leading to learning being captured from daily activities in an operational workplace.
• Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence or through an independent process such as workbooks, written assessments or interviews (provided a record is kept).
• 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.
• Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
• Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately.
• Assessors must satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment as set by the VET regulator.
• The assessor must demonstrate both technical competency and currency.
• Technical competence can be demonstrated through:

• relevant VET or other qualification/Statement of Attainment AND/OR
• relevant workplace experience

• Currency can be demonstrated through:

• performing the competency being assessed as part of current employment OR
• having consulted with an organisation providing relevant environmental monitoring, management or technology services about performing the competency being assessed within the last twelve months.
