Section 1 Introduction        

This is your assessment kit for the unit of competency AHCAGB519 Plan and monitor production processes.

All assessment activities  must be carried out to comply with organisational requirements, work health and safety legislation and codes, sustainability practices and in consultation with the management team.

This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to plan and monitor production processes, including identifying the production processes required to achieve targets; establishing production targets for each enterprise and each product, crop, herd or flock; and monitoring and evaluating production processes.

This unit applies to individuals who work in agribusiness management roles where they take personal responsibility and exercise autonomy in undertaking complex work. They analyse information and exercise judgement to complete a range of advanced skilled activities.

All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, work health and safety legislation and codes, and sustainability practices.

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

About your kit

Your kit contains the assessment activities that you need to complete to establish your competency.

The kit has 4 sections

Section 1: Introduction

Section 2: Your rights and obligations to the assessment process

Section 3: Your knowledge of the production processes for Agribusiness

Section 4:  Your ability to plan and monitor production processes.

The purpose of this assessment

The purpose of the assessment is to confirm that you can perform to the standard required in the workplace, as specified by the training package or a vocational education. The assessment process collects evidence and makes judgements on whether competency has been achieved.

The assessment process is the final stage in confirming if you have the skills and knowledge to perform tasks typical of the workplace.

The following is the performance evidence and knowledge evidence needed to confirm competency in this unit.

An individual demonstrating competency must satisfy all of the elements and performance criteria in this unit. There must be evidence that the individual has planned and monitored at least one production cycle, including:

  • identified production processes required to achieve targeted production
  • established production targets for each product, crop, herd, or flock
  • scheduled production processes with monitoring points and performance indicators
  • documented the production plan
  • evaluated production processes and made modifications where required
  • created and maintained records as described in the production plan.

Knowledge evidence

An individual must be able to demonstrate the knowledge required to perform the tasks outlined in the elements and performance criteria of this unit. This includes knowledge of:

  • environmental controls and codes of practice relevant to the production process
  • management practices to minimise noise, odours, waste, erosion, relevant to production process
  • sustainable land use principles and practices applicable in the region
  • production planning processes
  • biosecurity and quality assurance requirements for product
  • legislation and regulations relevant to product and production processes.

Assessment Conditions

Assessment of skills must take place under the following conditions:

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.

Assessment Steps

We have listed the steps to follow when conducting this assessment.

Before the Assessment

Before the Assessment

  1. Your assessor must ensure that you have received your assessment kit prior to the commencement of the assessment.
  2. If a simulation is used, then your assessor must brief you on the requirements of the simulation and the conditions of the simulation. (Activities 3 and 4 are simulations).
  3. Your assessor must ensure they identify any special needs that you may have in relation to undertaking this assessment. For example, you may have LLN issues, or you may not have access to technology to complete and submit the assessment evidence. If you require assistance, then discuss this with your assessor as soon as possible so they are able to help you including providing reasonable adjustment for those requiring assistance. Adjustments include any changes to the assessment process or context. However, your assessor must not compromise the integrity of the competency.
  4. You must fully understand of the assessment process. Your assessor will clarify the following information prior to the commencement of the assessment:
  5. the purpose of the assessment
  6. the conditions of the assessment, which includes:
  7. the timeframes for each task
  8. the due date for submitting their assessment
  9. the location where the assessment tasks will be undertaken
  10. the essential information required to carry out the assessment (e.g. templates, policy and procedures, etc.)
  11. You must be aware of the mandatory requirements you must perform to be deemed satisfactory for an assessment activity: i.e.
  12. You meet all the requirements outlined in the Student Assessment Guide
  13. Your responses to the questions and tasks must be accurate and relevant
  14. The work you submit must be authentic and in your own words
  15. You must provide reference to any external sources of information used
  16. You must perform all the above points within the deadlines set the Assessor
  17. Complete the assessment within prescribed number of resubmits allowed
  18. Plus you have the right to appeal all outcomes following the appeals process.

Once this is understood, you will be asked to  sign the Pre-Assessment Checklist and declaration provided by your assessor. You will not be assessed until the signed checklist and declaration is held by the assessor or RTO office. .

During the Assessment

Knowledge evidence

You may contact your assessor for information regarding what to do and how to do it. Remember that this is an assessment; therefore they cannot give you the solutions, answers or even suggestions on what to write. They are limited to clarifying what is required.

Performance evidence

Section 4 details four (4) activities with each activity having tasks to complete.

Activity one (1) has 3 tasks associated with PE 1 & 2

Activity two (2) is a simulated observation relating to the application of workplace safety procedures covering: –

  1. infection control
    1. hazardous manual tasks
    1. use of personal protective equipment

Activity three (3) is a simulated observation relating to the application relating to infection control

Activity four (4) is a simulated response to an emergency evacuation

When you submit your assessment, your assessor uses KPI’s and industry based guidelines to benchmark your answers and responses. These are provided in a separate marking guide to ensure consistency in the ‘marking’ of any assessment submitted by any candidate.

After the Assessment

Your assessor will provide enough detail to allow you to gain a clear understanding of your performance. This is more relevant when you have not met the standard required

Their comments should be positive and focus on any gaps and strategies for further development.

  1. Your marked assessments will be retained by the assessor
  2. For those students who are deemed ‘Not Yet Competent’ (NYC), you will have the opportunity to be reassessed, but this is limited to one (1) occasion.
  3.  Once deemed competent, all assessments, including those did not demonstrate competency, are forwarded to the Administration for filing and the generation of the relevant student records.
  4. For those students who do not wish to undergo reassessment, their NYC assessments are to be forwarded to the Administration for filing.
  5. If the student decides to appeal the process, please instigate the appeals process in accordance with the policies and procedures manual.
  6. Your competency status will be provided by the training company (not the assessor)

Retention of Completed Assessments

All completed assessments are retained for at least six months from the completion of the assessment.

Recording the assessment outcomes

Assessors are to record their observations, feedback and determinations in using the forms provided in the assessor’s checklists (booklet) with the exception of the knowledge questions which are contained in this kit.

Whenever the following panel appears in the assessor’s workbook or in the candidate’s kit, that page must be completed and then removed by to be returned to the RTO where it is kept with the student’s records.

RTO TO RETAIN THIS PAGE

Note, any issues or misunderstanding about the intent of any question or task described in this document, needs to be referred to the Principal as part of the continuous improvement and moderation practices adopted by the RTO again using the space provided in the candidate’s Marking guide.

Number of attempts

The candidate has two (2) opportunities to successfully complete each activity, the record sheets include space to record the number of attempts, for example 1st o, 2nd o. If the response or performance is successful then ü the appropriate square o

If the response is not successful then place a X in the appropriate square o.

Possible outcomes could be: –

1stü2nd
1stX2ndü
1stX2ndX

In the last case the candidate has not successfully completed this assessment and would be deemed not yet competent.

Naturally if they are successful on the 1st attempt there is no need to repeat the assessment.

Candidates that are unsuccessful after the 2nd attempt are not permitted to re-sit the assessment without prior written approval from the Principal. They may continue training and assessment in other units providing this unit is not a pre-requisite for further studies.

Where the candidates’ responses are markedly different to the suggested answer, assessors must use professional judgement when marking these responses. For example, if a candidate provides a different answer to the Marking guide, but the answer is still satisfactory, then they should be marked as satisfactory. The assessor must indicate why that response is deemed satisfactory and subsequently refer that response for moderation.

Appeals

The candidate has the right to appeal any of the assessment outcomes and if they wish to do so should refer to their student handbook to determine how to lodge an appeal.  Candidates and assessors should refer to the appeals policy, noting the following is a summary of the actions and responsibilities.

In the first instance an informal approach is to be made to the assessor with any new evidence or to clarify existing evidence. Where the participant is still dissatisfied with the decision then a formal request can be made to the RTO Manager who will refer the assessment to a facilitator who was not involved in the original decision, to review the decision. 

If the participant is still dissatisfied with the decision, then a written notice of appeal may be lodged with the RTO requesting an independent review by an external appeal consultant. 

Appeals should be lodged within 7 days of the assessment and usually responded to within 21 days however where the RTO considers more than 60 days are required to respond it will inform the appellant, explaining the delay and ensure it regularly updates the appellant on the progress of the appeal.  Candidate’s will not be able to re-sit a third and subsequent assessment for this unit without prior written approval from the RTO Manager.

Advice on applying reasonable adjustments

In assessing the competence of individuals, assessors must provide for reasonable adjustments to ensure the assessment principles of fairness and flexibility are addressed. For example, they may respond to situations that reflect their life experiences and or cultural background and you should make adjustments for that.

However, assessors must be confident that reasonable adjustments do not compromise the outcomes of the unit and the integrity of the qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued as certification of achievement.

Where a candidate requires reasonable adjustments, assessors must decide what types of adjustments are needed and then make a judgment about whether these are ‘reasonable’ given the unit content requirements and specifications.

The test of reasonableness is subjective but must be guided by the principles of assessment and the balance between them, as well as the rules of evidence.

Reasonable adjustments may take the form of additional support during the assessment process for example in the provision of particular equipment or software, or changes to the physical environment, or provision of support persons for physical disability or additional time.

An individual’s access to the assessment process should not be adversely affected by restrictions placed on the location or context of assessment beyond the requirements specified in this Training Package.

The use of interpreters would not be a reasonable adjustment for assessment of units in this Training Package as English language is essential.

Similarly, a focus on oral responses in place of documentary evidence would not be reasonable if the unit clearly requires evidence of literacy skills to write, document and record material. Given the focus on cognitive skills in these cases that relate to planning, research, analysis, thinking techniques and evaluation, achieving the competency outcomes may be difficult for people with some learning disabilities or intellectual disabilities.

Where reasonable adjustments have been applied, assessors should ensure the type of adjustments is recorded to guide any further assessments of the candidate and for validation purposes. This can include provisions for the person’s culture, mores and life experiences.

Expected levels of performance.

This unit of competency is related to a Diploma and as such there is an expectation that you can demonstrate technical and theoretical knowledge in a specific area or broad field of work and learning.

You are expected to show judgement and defined responsibility in a known or changing context and within broad and defined parameters.

Assessors must be conscious that you can demonstrate the ability to: –

  • analyse information to complete a range of activities
  • provide and transmit solutions to sometimes complex problems
  • transmit information and skills to others

You need to be aware of the expected literacy and numeracy requirements which are consistent with this level of skill and knowledge as you will be expected to be able to read and interpret complex information and development financial and mathematical relationships. They should also be able to articulate complex ideas to a wide group of people.

If there is a concern about you LLN proficiency they contact the RTO Manager and they will be able to offer help and guidance.

Why so many signatures?

BCH is required to comply with Australian Standards for the delivery of training and assessment services. Part of these standards is to demonstrate it has always treated you fairly and that includes when you undertake an assessment. 

In many cases the assessor is required to provide you feedback as you progress through your assessment and BCH is required to provide evidence to confirm your assessor has informed you of the outcome of your assessment and make suggestions for improvement or record the steps you can take to continue your learning and or assessment.

With that in mind we ask that you co-operate with us by signing any reports or statements that confirm your assessment. You do not need to sign if you feel uncomfortable in doing so. Let us know if you have any concerns with signing anything.

As always you have the right to appeal any outcome and we ask you to do so in writing according to our procedures.

Section 4 – Tasks – Instructions

This section requires you to complete a project relating to planning for agricultural production.

For the purpose of this project we have adopted the Queensland Farmers Federation (QFF) definition for Agriculture which is

Any activity connected with the growing of food, fibre, timber and foliage including, but not limited to, cropping*, intensive horticulture*, animal husbandry*, intensive animal industry*, animal keeping*, aquaculture*, permanent plantation* wholesale nursery*, production nursery, roadside stall*, winery* and rural industry*; and also including ancillary activities concerned with accommodation of farm workers, visitors and tourists; the storage of water; irrigation and drainage works; the storage of equipment for the production and transport of agricultural products; and the on-farm processing, packaging, storage and sale of agricultural products.

You are to select a specific activity that is included in the above definition and then show how you would plan the production associated with this activity. Your report must address all the performance indicators listed below

If you are currently working within the agricultural sector, then you are encouraged to use your own organisation as the basis for this project.

If you are not employed in the agricultural sector then you need to speak with your training provider so they may refer you to one of the nurseries they associated with, so you may use that organisation.

Before you begin your project you are encouraged to review the following references

1. “Agriculture industry fact sheet” located at the Federal Government website Business.  The link is

2. QFF publications on Rural planning.

Your project must include evidence that you have carried out the following

  • identified production processes required to achieve targeted production
  • established production targets for each product, crop, herd, or flock
  • scheduled production processes with monitoring points and performance indicators
  • documented the production plan
  • evaluated production processes and made modifications where required
  • created and maintained records as described in the production plan

Your assessor will be using the following performance indicators to assess your skills and ability to plan and monitor production processes suited to primary production such as crops, animal husbandry or horticulture

Task 1 Complete the template (extracted from the Queensland Rural & Industry Development Authority) and review this with your assessor. This template is suited to helping you define / scope your project. (Refer appendix 1) you are to review this with you assessor prior to undertaking task 2. (The rationale is so both parties are clear on what is required)

Task 2

You are to develop your production plan. You are to use the following table to track and record your information and use it as a checklist for your evidence. Make sure you attach this to your submission. You may choose to do a production plan for the total organisation or as a separate unit but still part of the overall business objectives.
