What an assessment for FBPPPL4003 must cover

46 assessable components: 6 elements (21 performance criteria), 6 performance evidence and 12 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 7 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Identify production requirements

1.1Use forecast and sales information to identify production requirements according to workplace procedures
1.2Identify production priorities to satisfy demand

2 Confirm resource requirements for production requirements

2.1Check stock levels of raw materials, ingredients, packaging components and consumables are available and can fulfil production requirements
2.2Check equipment capacity and status are ready and available for production activities according to workplace procedures
2.3Ensure human resources are available against production requirements

3 Develop and communicate the production schedule

3.1Develop the production schedule to meet demand and delivery timelines within production capacity and budget
3.2Ensure the production schedule takes account of stock levels, storage capacity, equipment capacity and product mix to minimise stock and product holdings and maximise production efficiency
3.3Record the production schedule in the appropriate workplace format
3.4Make available the production schedule to relevant personnel in a timely manner

4 Monitor production schedule

4.1Monitor production to identify actual and potential barriers to achieving the schedule
4.2Monitor resource usage rates to identify potential shortages
4.3Identify, assess and address unplanned events that could affect the schedule

5 Adjust production schedules

5.1Adjust production schedules to take account of identified changed conditions
5.2Negotiate and communicate changes to the production schedule to relevant personnel in a timely manner
5.3Identify resource implications of amended schedules and access resources to meet requirements
5.4Identify and communicate potential failure to meet delivery deadlines to relevant personnel in a timely manner
5.5Amend schedule documentation as required to meet workplace reporting requirements

6 Review production schedule development process

6.1Review the production scheduling process to identify opportunities for improvement
6.2Identify, investigate and report variances in production against schedule to appropriate personnel
6.3Consult personnel responsible for implementing the schedule to identify improvement opportunities
6.4Revise the scheduling process to reflect improvements

Knowledge evidence

role and scope of the scheduling function, including: - flow of information to and from the scheduling process - impact of scheduling for related planning, purchasing, production and despatch processes
factors to be taken into account in planning the schedule, including the inter-relationships between factors, including: - customer requirements - stock levels and supply options - use-by codes - production capacity and availability - labour requirements and availability - product compatibility - capacity of related processes and/or storage facilities - transport capacity
consequences of failing to meet delivery timelines, including: - customer expectations - stock-out fines - effects on customer relationship - company’s preferred approach to managing customer relations
planning process and efficiencies to meet production requirements, including: - stock shelf-life of product and consumables - product compatibility characteristics of raw materials/ingredients - packaging components - availability of consumables
equipment capacity to ensure that production quantities and timelines are achievable
methods used to monitor actual-to-planned production and key performance indicators (KPIs)
communication strategies used when consulting relevant personnel and departments for production schedule and related amendments
conditions that can affect achievement of schedule, including conditions that are unusual or unplanned and related options for response
options for maximising resource utilisation and minimising waste, including options for alternate resource allocation in response to unplanned events
