MSS014018 — Apply circularity design thinking to all work streams

1 Determine scope for change

• 1.1Review own work activities and decision points to identify areas of potential for circularity improvement
• 1.2Identify system of processes and interactions relevant to each area of potential
• 1.3Liaise with others to determine supports and constraints within the current context likely to affect changes in areas of potential

2 Identify customer perspectives

• 2.1Identify internal and/or external customers for the areas of potential for circularity improvements
• 2.2Source and analyse information to determine stated customer needs, desired outcomes and perspectives in relation to areas of potential
• 2.3Investigate unarticulated needs, wants and perspectives of customer
• 2.4Apply questions or processes to elicit detailed understanding of customer needs, wants and perspectives

3 Generate ideas on circularity improvements

• 3.1Consult with stakeholders and, where appropriate, specialists to generate ideas and alternatives
• 3.2Generate ideas on how to meet some or all aspects of customer perspectives using existing processes and/or equipment
• 3.3Generate ideas on how to meet some or all aspects of customer perspectives based on different processes and/or equipment
• 3.4Challenge assumptions about customer needs and wants to generate alternative versions of customer perspective
• 3.5Generate ideas on how to meet alternative customer perspectives
• 3.6Generate ideas for incremental changes and radical changes

4 Determine improvement options

• 4.1Select ideas with potential to improve circularity within current context and within own sphere of decision making
• 4.2Evaluate selected ideas in terms of risks and intended and unintended impacts, outcomes and costs to determine options likely to deliver overall system benefits
• 4.3Identify where beneficial options do not clearly align to customer stated needs and plan to inform, influence and negotiate with customer
• 4.4Facilitate communications with customer to resolve problems and agree on option/s to be implemented

5 Plan actions to effect change

• 5.1Prepare action plan for agreed option/s, detailing key stakeholders, approvals, resources and information needed and steps to be taken
• 5.2Examine ideas outside own sphere of decision making to determine potential improvements in circularity
• 5.3Identify personnel with responsibility and/or influence relevant to potential improvements outside own sphere of decision-making
• 5.4Prepare information to promote understanding of and engagement with potential improvements in circularity using style and format suitable for responsible personnel

What does an assessment tool for MSS014018 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MSS014018 needs to address all 50 unit components: 5 elements with 21 performance criteria, 2 performance evidence requirements, 22 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for MSS014018?

Auditori pulls the current release of MSS014018 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for MSS014018 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MSS014018 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of MSS014018, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
