Assessment Requirements for MSS405023 Develop a levelled pull system for operations and processes

Modification History

Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to MSS405023A Develop a levelled pull system for operations and processes

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 or more work area/product families, to:

acquire a value stream map for current products and processes

analyse process

perform required calculations to determine flow rate and variability

correctly identify pacemaker process

balance the work

monitor implementation of a levelled pull system and suggest improvements.

Knowledge Evidence

Must provide evidence that demonstrates sufficient knowledge to interact with relevant personnel and be able to develop or improve a pull system, including knowledge of:

technical and regulatory limits that must be adhered to in operations

processing requirements of products or services offered by the organisation

capabilities of equipment

capabilities and skills of the workforce

production planning techniques

methods of calculating rates of demand and flow of work (e.g. takt and pitch)

techniques for achieving a smooth and consistent flow of work

relationship of level of inventory to efficiency and muda (waste).

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 development of an initial pull system, or improvement of an existing pull system, occurs 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.
