Unit of competency

Modification History

Release 1.

Replaces superseded equivalent CPPSIS6025A Apply quality control measures to spatial information services industry.

This version first released with CPP Property Services Training Package Version 3.

Application

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to design and implement quality control measures to assess the quality of spatial products and services. The unit covers analysing specifications and information to plan and design quality control standards and assessment criteria, and implementing quality control processes to assess sample products and services. Assessing quality includes analysing data; and identifying, isolating and rectifying faults. The unit also covers conducting independent inspection, tests and audits, and facilitating work groups to identify and resolve quality variances. It includes implementing procedures to monitor and maintain quality processes, and preparing quality assessment reports. The unit requires the ability to design computations and conduct error analysis using a computer and software.

The unit supports those who manage quality processes and staff in a surveying or spatial information services team, in areas such as surveying, cartography, town planning, mapping and geographic information systems (GIS).

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

Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions.

1.

Prepare to assess the quality of spatial product or service.

1.1.

Spatial product or service to be assessed and project specifications are identified and analysed against organisational guidelines.

1.2.

Quality control processes are identified and used to assess sample products or services in consultation with appropriate persons. 

1.3.

Information on identified risks, contingencies, resources, technologies and techniques is analysed and incorporated into quality control process.

1.4.

Pertinent legal and statutory standards and legislative requirements are incorporated into quality control process.

2.

Assess quality of spatial product or service.

2.1.

Product or service is examined and assessed against assessment criteria and quality control measures.

2.2.

Existing information and spatial data are checked to identify appropriate quality control measures.

2.3.

Data is analysed and relevant information is used to identify variations and verify its reliability according to quality control measures.

2.4.

Work groups are facilitated to assist in identifying and resolving quality variances according to organisational requirements.

2.5.

Computations are designed to conduct error analysis, and faults are isolated and rectified or contingencies managed according to quality control measures.

2.6.

Independent inspection, tests and audits are conducted according to organisational requirements.

3.

Monitor quality control process.

3.1.

Quality improvement is monitored and maintained according to organisational requirements.

3.2.

Quality awareness is promoted among immediate work team according to organisational requirements.

3.3.

Quality assessment records and reports are completed and spatial data archived according to organisational requirements.
