|
2. Evaluate information
|
2.1 Information is assessed for its validity and reliability
2.2 Information is organised into a suitable form to assist decision making
2.3 Opportunities to establish and maintain contacts with those who may provide useful information are considered
2.4 Conclusions drawn from relevant information are based on reasoned argument and appropriate evidence
|
|
3. Record and store information
|
3.1 Effective methods of recording and storing information are researched and identified
3.2 Information is recorded and stored for easy retrieval using accepted formats, systems and workplace procedures

Performance Evidence
Before competency can be determined, individuals must have competently evaluated vehicle information on a minimum of three occasions.
Individuals must demonstrate they can:
- comply with relevant legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice, safe work practices and workplace procedures relevant to the decision-making process in the design, development and production of motor vehicles
- communicate effectively with engineering, marketing and other appropriate personnel to inform evaluation of information
- apply, within scope of own authority, the requirements of the job or work role in relation to:
- seeking, evaluating, recording and storing relevant information to assist decision making
- achieving work quality goals
- completing work area housekeeping requirements, including the documentation of project activity and process outcomes.
Knowledge Evidence
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
- workplace procedures to seek, evaluate and prepare information
- workplace instructions
- production work plans
- communication techniques to seek and elicit information from co-workers
- procedures for recording, reporting and maintaining organisational records and information.
Assessment Conditions
Assessors must satisfy SNR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the information that they have evaluated, e.g. evaluation reports.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
- automotive manufacturing workplace or simulated workplace
- workplace procedures for seeking, evaluating and preparing information
- sources of information relevant to the design, development and production of motor vehicles.
