Attachment 4 Methodology

Scope

This project:

developed a consolidated set of competency standards

developed a consolidated qualifications framework and

reviewed the process manufacturing assessment guidelines

for the manufactured mineral products industry covering cement, ceramics, clay, concrete, glass and related products.

Work commenced in August 1998 and was completed by the end of February 1999.

The industry

Industry definition

The industry is defined by ANZSIC Division C, Subdivision 26 and consists of a number of sectors which had previously regarded themselves as separate industries. The major traditional groupings are:

glass and glass products • glass containers • float glass • fibreglass • glass insulation • scientific glass

ceramic products • heavy clay products • light clay products

cement, lime and plaster manufacture

concrete products

not elsewhere classified (NEC) - a miscellaneous collection of processes and products which fall within this sector. The major subsectors within this NEC grouping are:




• abrasives, • acoustic tiles and panels, bricks, • fibre cement, • foundry cores, • insulation, • lime, • mineral products, • mortar, and • stone masonry.

Demarcation issues

There were a number of issues of demarcation of the industry and ITAB coverage which needed to be investigated and clarified. This project took on that role. The subsector was investigated and a logical boundary defined. This was validated by the steering committee and confirmed by the relevant ITAB.

As a first step to a definition of demarcations, the characteristics of organisations/ processes which might be expected to be within the scope of this project were defined. Manufacturing organisations without these characteristics fall outside the scope of this project and Training Package. We would expect the organisations to be covered by this project/Training Package to have the following characteristics:

The raw materials are processed in a manner which causes a modification to the material prior to despatch. This modification is not simply a change in size or shape nor assembly. It excludes metals and so metal extrusion is excluded.

Products are produced using standard systems and processes - they are made to specification. This definition is intended to include scientific glass makers, but exclude ‘art pottery’ and ‘art glassware’ which more properly belongs to Cultural Research Education & Training Enterprise Australia (CREATE) - the Arts ITAB

Investigation of various industry sectors, comparing their characteristics with these defining characteristics, their presence in, or absence from, ANZSIC Division C, Subdivision 26, and the existing coverage of other ITABs was then used to make decisions about the boundaries of this project, and of the Training Package. This resulted in a number of decisions:

Premix concrete - the processing and delivery of the concrete belongs to this ITAB, while the competency of driving the truck is a prerequisite competency belonging to the Transport ITAB.




Asphalt is NOT part of this ANZSIC group (it is part of 4121). The manufacture of bitumen is covered by the Chemical, Hydrocarbons and Oil Refining Training Package (PMA 98). The mixing of bitumen with aggregate to make asphalt occurs coincidentally with the application of the asphalt to the road. The industry has indicated that the bulk of the workforce and the bulk of the skills are in the application area, and that they would prefer for the entire asphalt operation to be covered by the one ITAB. It is not appropriate for MLA to cover this entire operation and so asphalt is not part of this project or Training Package.

Quarrying/winning/dredging of materials - is part of Mining ITAB. Some companies use their internal workforce to perform these extractive processes - although there is not normally much change over between extractive and operations personnel. Others use contractors, still others buy in materials extracted by an independent company. It may therefore be part of the front end of the processes in companies covered by this project, and it will often be necessary for operators to understand this extractive process to better handle the front end of their process. Regardless, extraction is part of the Mining ITAB and the understanding of raw materials is part of operations - regardless of the source of raw materials.

Glass manufacture (the processing of raw material into glass and glass products) is within Manufacturing Learning Australia’s (MLA) coverage, and the subsequent assembly/fabrication of glass into further products is outside the scope of MLA’s coverage. Within the glass sector, there are two areas requiring clarification: • The manufacture of laminated windscreens, either as the end part of a

process commencing from glass raw materials and ending up with laminated windscreens, or the production of laminated windscreens from flat glass components, is within the scope of this ITAB and this project/Training Package. The installation and repair of windscreens is covered by the Automotive ITAB.

• The manufacture of scientific glass is within the scope of MLA. Scientific glass however is itself split into two subsectors: - The process manufacturing of vials and ampoules and the like fit within

the scope of this project and are included in this Training Package. Beakers, flasks, etc, are not manufactured in Australia.

- The hand working of glass into the range of shapes used in laboratories, while part of MLA’s coverage, better fits within the cross industry Laboratory Operations Training Package project.

Stone work is specifically mentioned in the ANZSIC Division C, Subdivision 26 NEC classification. Coverage of this sector is shared with the Construction ITAB. Investigations of the stone sector, and subsequent discussions with the Construction ITAB, confirm that stone working falls within the stonemasons




trade course which is covered by the Construction ITAB. This coverage would appear to extend from the quarrying of stone (exclusive - Mining ITAB) to the installation of stone as a final product (inclusive). It makes sense to leave this subsector under the coverage of one ITAB, namely the Construction ITAB, and therefore to not cover it by MLA or this project/Training Package.

Existing resources

This project started with a range of existing materials. However, as this was the first project to regard this as a single group, the existing materials are based around the traditional groupings.

The existing standards

The sector was served by a number of existing competency standards:

0014 Cement manufacturing industry December 1994

0084 Manufactured concrete products industry January 1995

0092 Clay and ceramics manufacturing industry July 1995

0128 Glass manufacturing industry July 1995.

These standards had been developed for, and reflect the differences between, each of the traditional sectors. They are quite technical in nature, concentrating on the process skills required (which is the area of greatest difference between companies), and have little in the way of process/business support competencies. There were no standards for the NEC sector.

These standards have been mapped against the new standards (see Attachment 5).

Existing courses

The existing standards also supported the existing national training resources. Again they were specific to each sector and made no provision for the NEC sector. Existing national qualifications were:

Certificate IV in Cement Manufacturing Operations

Certificate II in Cement Manufacturing Operations

Certificate IV in Clay & Ceramics

Certificate II in Clay & Ceramics

Certificate I, II and III in Concrete Products (Manufacturing)




Certificate II Glass Manufacturing

Certificate II, III, and IV in Float Glass Process and Decoration.

The curriculum for these courses has been accredited in various States. Some sectors have public learning resources, whereas others rely more on internal resources. The new competencies are mapped to these existing curricula in Attachment 6.

Implications for a consolidated Training Package

As these materials were being used, to varying degrees, by the industry, it was inappropriate to simply disregard them and start with a ‘blank sheet of paper’ methodology. Some in the industry were in fact quite forceful about not wishing to have major change to the existing materials. Any methodology, therefore, needed to use these existing materials as a base as much as possible.

Investigation

The initial phase of the project was to investigate these existing resources. The four existing sets of competency standards were compared, with similar competencies noted. A draft consolidated set of competencies was then able to be prepared from the four existing sets.

Draft models for structuring the Training Package in general and the Qualifications Framework in particular were also developed. Three models were developed for presentation and discussion:

Model 1 - keep all sectors separate but simply present this in the one Package

Model 2 - have common core and support units with sector specific operations competencies as required (nicknamed the ‘barrel model’)

Model 3 - have all units in common.

Assessment Guidelines were available as part of the Chemical, Hydrocarbons and Oil Refining Training Package (PMA 98). These had been developed with the specific intention of applying to all sectors of MLA’s coverage. These existing Assessment Guidelines were taken as the draft starting point for review in this project.

These initial drafts were presented first to the steering committee, and then to the industry.




Initial industry consultations

Industry consultations used cross sectoral focus groups, specific company/sector based focus groups as well as company visits and interviews.

The initial round of focus groups aimed at analysing job functions and the existing draft competency units and qualifications models. Inevitably, much time was also spent educating the industry as to what a Training Package was and the potential benefits for them. Cross sectoral focus groups had the additional aim of helping the manufactured mineral products groups regard themselves as a single group and to explore common areas. Company/sector specific focus groups concentrated more on making sure the competencies for that sector were right.

The results of this first round of consultations was the acceptance by all of Model 2 (the barrel model). This has proved to be a robust and versatile model on which to base the package. It also tested the draft competencies well, showing up gaps, common units and units which needed to be more sector specific. The Assessment Guidelines were accepted.

One industry concern to arise from this initial consultation was that the Training Package reflect the future of the industry, not just the present or past.

Development phase

General

Based on the feedback from these initial consultations, the competency units were developed and modified as required. This stage of the process used specific industry input for the specific competencies.

This phase also saw the Qualifications Framework developed into a useable form. This was tested initially against the jobs data gathered in the initial consultation and then tested again with specific companies form the different sectors. Modifications were made to ensure that the requirements for qualifications were fair and equitable, and that the qualifications created met the needs of the industry both technically and industrially.

This phase led to an expanded range of more detailed competencies, a workable Qualifications Framework and a slightly modified Assessment Guidelines. The Assessment Guidelines were modified to reflect the current terminology and requirements.

This phase also saw the project concentrate more on the smaller subsectors of the NEC group to make sure the Package was also useable by and useful to them.




Delphi

As there had been a specific concern about the future, it was decided that a specific future focused methodology should be employed alongside the routine functional analysis. A Delphi methodology survey was conducted to specifically focus on possible futures for this industry.

The steering committee was initially asked to nominate one or two appropriate people to be on the panel representing their sector. These people were then contacted by the consultants and the process explained to them. Three ‘rounds’ (plus a ‘half round’) were conducted by a combination of email and fax. This led to adequate agreement.

The results of the Delphi were fed into the general competency development process to ensure that the competencies developed would be ‘future proof’.

Design principles

All material developed complied with the ANTA design requirements.

In addition to that, we imposed several design principles of our own.

Operations competencies would include the recognition and resolution of operating problems within the competency. As processes continue to become more automated, as workforces shrink and the remaining workers are required to perform more roles, the job is becoming more one of monitoring and problem solving than anything else. Higher level competencies would require the resolution of non-routine problems, while lower level competencies would require the resolution of routine competencies.

The application of this observation to the Qualifications Framework also means that not only must a person have some technical competencies, but they should also possess some support competencies in order to gain a qualification.

The Qualifications Framework establishes a technical career path and technical qualifications stream for operations personnel in the industry. Our initial investigations revealed a significant group of workers who were vital to the smooth functioning of the process, but who were not well served by existing structures and qualifications. These people were the ‘problem solvers’ of the shop floor. For this reason, the higher level qualifications are based on higher level problem solving skills, applied to the process. To obtain a qualification under this Package, it is necessary to have some operating skills at the appropriate level. The Package has sufficient flexibility to support people who also have significant supervisory or team roles. However, the view was taken that if the person’s role, and so competencies, were purely supervisory/team/quality/testing/inspection based (ie, not including operations competencies), then these persons would be better served




by obtaining the appropriate qualification from the relevant Training Package that deals with that area (eg, Frontline Management, Laboratory Operations). This is also consistent with the view that any given Training Package should not provide alternative qualifications paths in the same area as another Package.

The majority of competencies in this Package have been purpose written for this industry. However, we did take the view that this Package should not ‘reinvent the wheel’ with regard to competencies, and where appropriate competencies existed in other Packages, that they would be imported into this package. This has been done. In all cases these ‘imported’ competencies retain their original ANTA coding and title. They are included in this Package either by way of an overlay document, or sometimes by reproducing the competency in full. The suitability of these imported competencies was also validated, and in some cases this led to a purpose written competency replacing the imported one. It is expected that these ‘imported’ competencies will be automatically updated when the source competency is updated. The four ‘testing’ competencies included (Support 222, 321, 322, 323) in this Package are not intended to take the place of suitable competencies which will be developed by the Laboratory Operations project in due course. However, as the Laboratory Operations project had not progressed to the stage where its competencies could be used, these competencies were inserted to ensure there was a complete Package. These competencies should be reviewed after the Laboratory Operations competencies are endorsed, with a view to replacing them with suitable Laboratory Operations competencies.

The three OH&S competencies (OH&S 100, 200 & 400) and the three environment competencies (Environment 100, 200 & 300) were all drawn from the Chemical, Hydrocarbons and Oil Refining Training Package (and are duly acknowledged). This was done as these competencies have the endorsement of the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission and the Environmental Protection Authority (respectively) and it was deemed desirable to keep this endorsement. These competencies were validated in the normal way with this industry to ensure their applicability.

The competencies written have been written from an inclusive standpoint rather than an exclusive one. Each operations competency is rather large and is intended to represent a real ‘chunk’ of a job. Jobs are complex and include a range of facets. The competencies reflect this range of facets. Specifically, this means that there are not separate communication, numeracy or problem solving competencies; rather, these aspects are written into each competency where they fit.

Validation

Validation was undertaken piecemeal with each Package item as it was developed. Initial validation was with individual industry technical experts. Subsequent validation was with the steering committee. Validation then progressed to




documents being sent to a number of people in each industry sector. This was done both directly and also through the relevant State ITAB.

Validation of the completed Package was undertaken by a combination of a second round of focus groups in each State, by sending completed sector bundles to industry representatives and through the State ITABs, who in turn contacted industry representatives. The steering committee finally validated the complete Package on 18th February 1999.

This approach was followed with the Competency Standards, the Qualifications Framework and the Assessment Guidelines. The industry was asked to check that the competencies were right and that they could use them. They were also asked to check that the Qualifications Framework allowed the awarding of qualifications to workers who should have them. Specifically, the requirements for a qualification were pointed out and the ramifications explored. Did these requirements match industry expectation and need? The answer was yes.

A desk validation was also undertaken by the consultants. Having started with the existing four sets of Competency Standards, the final set of competencies was then mapped back to these original competencies (see Attachment 5). No gaps or inconsistencies were found. A further exercise was undertaken by mapping against the existing accredited curriculum (see Attachment 6). This was both to check the competencies and also to make sure that the Qualifications Framework did not disenfranchise anyone who might currently be able to receive a recognised qualification. This was a difficult exercise due to the different structure between the curricula for each of the four main sectors. A typical curriculum model is to draw out the common underpinning knowledge into a number of purely or largely knowledge based modules. This is inappropriate for competencies. The knowledge contained in these modules maps generally against a number of operations competencies, rather than to specific competency units. There are some curriculum areas which are not covered by the competencies. Typically these are general, knowledge based items which would possibly be covered by a company induction program, but which are in themselves not a competency. In addition to these are a few areas which are not covered directly by this Package, but which should map well to competencies available in other Packages and which could be imported into the qualifications offered under this Package using the substitution rules. Overall, no deficiencies were found in this Training Package.

Submission for endorsement

This validated package was submitted to ANTA for endorsement on 26th February 1999.

Introduction

The following is a quick guide to the alignment of the previous endorsed competency standards (‘old’) to the standards endorsed in 1999 (‘new’). Individual organisations should confirm this for their own situation. The previous standards were endorsed as four separate sets of competencies:

cement manufacturing industry - endorsed December 1994

clay and ceramics manufacturing industry - endorsed July 1995

manufactured concrete products industry - endorsed January 1995

glass manufacturing industry - endorsed July 1995.

There were no previously endorsed standards for other sectors.

The competencies endorsed in 1999 are an integrated set of competencies for all sectors of the manufactured mineral products industry. Competencies are listed by endorsed number and unit title.

PMC 99 Manufactured mineral products Training Package Attachment 6 - Competency/curriculum mapping


Attachment 6 Process manufactured products competency to curriculum mapping

Introduction

A one way mapping between the Training Package competency standards and the existing curriculum was undertaken to:

check no competency area had been missed

provide a basis for checking the knowledge component of each competency unit

check the rigour of the Qualifications Framework requirements for certificates against the existing curriculum based courses

provide a service for those who may wish to use the existing curriculum as a route to assist them develop competence and so obtain qualifications under the Training Package.

This is a summary mapping only. Some of the curriculum is quite complex in its structure and a more detailed mapping may be obtained from the non-endorsed components of this Training Package. This summary mapping, however, provides an ‘at a glance’ view of the resources available which may be useful to assist in the development of competence. The mapping of all curriculum against competencies in a single document is deliberate, as it enables the sectors to seek materials which may be common from the curriculum resources of the other sectors. It also allows those organisation in the ‘not elsewhere classified’ sector, who previously have had no publicly funded provision, to obtain relevant resources from whichever sector may seem most appropriate to assist their competency development.

The mapping is included here as a matter of opinion, with no warranties given or implied.

Attachment 7 - Key competencies

© Australian National Training Authority Att 105

Attachment 7 Key Competencies

What are they?9

Key Competencies were defined by the Mayer Committee as:

competencies essential for effective participation in the emerging patterns of work and work organisation. They focus on the capacity to apply knowledge and skills in an integrated way in work situations. Key Competencies are generic in that they apply to work generally rather than being specific to work in particular occupations or industries. This characteristic means that the Key Competencies are not only essential for effective participation in work but are essential for effective participation in further education and in adult life more generally.

There are seven key competencies currently recognised nationally:

1. Collecting, analysing and organising information

2. Communicating ideas and information

3. Planning and organising activities

4. Working with others and in teams

5. Using mathematical ideas and techniques

6. Solving problems

7. Using technology.

Key Competencies do not have elements, performance criteria, range of variables nor evidence guides defined. Key Competencies do have three performance levels which were recommended by the Mayer Committee. These levels are defined as:

Level 1 Describes the competence needed to undertake activities efficiently and with sufficient self management to meet the explicit requirements of the activity and to make judgements about quality of outcomes against established criteria.

In summary, Level 1:

carries out established processes

makes judgements of quality using given criteria.

9 ANTA Standards Best Practice Manual Section 6




Level 2 Describes the competencies needed to manage activities requiring the selection, application and integration of a number of elements, and to select from established criteria to judge quality of process and outcome

In summary, Level 2:

manages processes

selects criteria for the evaluation process.

Level 3 Describes the competence needed to evaluate and reshape processes, to establish and use principles in order to determine appropriate ways of approaching activities, and to establish criteria for judging quality of process and outcome.

In summary, Level 3

establishes principles and processes

evaluates and reshapes process

establishes criteria for evaluation of process.

It should be realised that:

the performance levels for the Key Competencies are different from the AQF levels at which groups of industry competencies may be aligned and at which qualifications are awarded

not all competencies will necessarily have all Key Competencies included

not all Key Competencies contained in a unit of competency will necessarily be at the same performance level.




Key Competencies for this set of competency units Note that ‘X’ indicates that this Key Competency is not represented in this competency unit.

Attachment 8 - Glossary of industry terms


Attachment 8 Manufactured mineral products glossary

A short summary of some key industry terms for the uninitiated.

Italicised words in the text are glossary entries in their own right.

Aggregate Sand and gravel used in concrete mix

Batching Mixing a batch of concrete to a formula or recipe

Cage Steel reinforcement, bent and tied or welded into a “cage”, used in concrete

Cement Cement is the product which is made by grinding and dehydrating limestone mixed with other minerals. You buy a bag of cement. Cement is used to make concrete.

Cement kiln A kiln in which the ground and proportioned raw mix is dried, calcined and burned into clinker at a temperature of 1420C to 1650C. A kiln can be rotary, shaft, fluid bed or travelling grate type. Fuel may be coal, oil or gas.

Chert A fine grained rock.

Chopped strands

Glass fibres cut into short lengths, typically 3 to 25 mm long.

Clay Clays are produced through two basic geological processes, either by the weathering of bedrock or the deposition of fine grained sediments in water. Each clay has its own unique composition of trace elements.

Clinker A hard lump of cement, about fist sized, which forms in the kiln. It is ground into the fine powder which is cement.

Concrete Concrete is what you get when you mix cement, aggregate and water. A chemical hydration reaction occurs to make a solid mass. You have concrete paths and garden gnomes (NOT cement).

Continuous filament yarns

Twisted single strand, made up of numerous fine fibreglass filaments, wound onto bobbins and used in paper and woven applications. This is a bit like fabric yarns only made out of glass.

Continuous rovings

Continuous non-twisted glass filaments, applied by filament guns and used as reinforcement in plaster sheets, plastics, etc.

Cullet Glass is made from sand (silica) and cullet (broken up old glass) and a few additives for colour, etc. The cullet lowers the temperature needed to melt the sand to form the glass.




DCS Distributed Control System - a computer based control system which is capable of controlling large plants from a central control room, monitoring and recording a wide range of plant data and ‘making control decisions’ based on its programming. It may use PLCs and other electronic devices as part of its control network.

Fibreglass Glass produced as a fibre and which can be either rovings (random) or mat (woven). This is then sold to the ‘fibreglass’ industry who mix it with a resin to make a canoe (or other glass fibre reinforced resin product) which is part of the plastics, rubber and cablemaking industry grouping.

Firing The process of baking ceramics and clay in a kiln or open fire to change the molecular structure of the clay.

Float glass Made by pouring molten glass on a bath of molten tin. Gravity and surface tension make it flow absolutely flat. This is window glass.

Frit Mixed raw materials fed into the glass furnace – typically contains sand, soda ash, limestone and dolomite.

Also applied to sand, glass grit, etc, applied to the outside of bricks before firing as a decorative finish.

Glass Made from sand (silica), cullet (broken glass) and soda ash (sodium carbonate). Soda glass (normal glass) has a lower melting point due to the soda ash. Pyrex (trade name for borosilicate glass) uses boron instead of soda ash, which gives a higher melting point glass. Silica glass has neither and has a higher melting point again.

Glass fibre See fibreglass.

Gob A red hot plastic mass of glass which is the blank from which a container is moulded.

Grit Crushed or decomposed granitic rock that is added to clay as a tempering agent.

Grog Crushed ceramics/pottery that is added to clay as a tempering agent

Insulation Glass made into glass bats.

Jiggering and jolleying

Terms that describe a high productivity method of producing pottery shapes like plates and bowls. A ball of clay is placed on a rotating mould and forced to conform to the shape of the mould by bearing down on the clay with a profiled lever arm. With jiggering, the mould determines the inner surface of the pot, and with jolleying the mould determines the outer surface of the pot.

Lehr Long heat treatment furnace used to anneal glass products following




forming, to reduce residual stresses in the glass.

Light weighting

Making of single-use glass containers (ie, meant to be used once, may be recycled).

PLC Programmable logic controller - an electronic control device, typically programmed by ‘ladder logic’, which is used for sometimes simple, sometimes quite sophisticated control of processes. It typically provides local control only compared to, say, a DCS which may control the entire plant.

Refractory Special concrete – and or clay/ceramic materials used to contain heat at high temperatures. Refractory is used as between kiln trolleys and unfired products, and as a lining inside kilns. Refractories are both made by this industry and also used in some of its processes.

Seeds Small imperfections (bubbles) in glass which are too small to be a blister or bubble.

Slip A suspension of clay in water.

Slip casting Slip is poured into a plaster mould and allowed to sit. Water is absorbed into the mould and clay is deposited on the interior surface of the mould. When the mould is emptied and opened, a slip cast product is removed.

Slump The amount a cone of wet concrete falls or slumps when tipped from its mould. High slump flows well into a mould (and between the cracks), low slump holds its shape.

Temper Material added to the raw clay that acts as a bonding agent to hold clay particles together, reduce shrinkage/expansion and give a more even heat distribution during the firing process. Includes fibre, bone, grog, shell, grit, limestone, sand and chert.
